Please Delete all my Subtitles and Account

Mon Feb 20, 2017 9:49 pm

Hi there, since the admin SmallBrother deleted many of my subtitles I have decided not to upload subtitles anymore in opensubtitles.org it all started because I added a line in the end of the subtitles asking for a donation, a voluntary donation, is not like I will get rich with donations but I think is not a bad thing, since the webpage is making money too with my subtitles and the subtitles of all other translators, because they get money from the visits to the webpage and the adds, anyways, I think is not fair so I have decided to clean my relation with this webpage forever, so I wonder how can I delete all my subtitles, luckily I only have 50 here, so if any admin around want to please delete them for me I will highly appreciate that, it was good to share with the people my subtitles in this webpage, but there are many other webpages where I can share, in fact I'm planning to make my own webpage for new subtitles only, thank you all.

Sincerely

Infrenis

Good luck with your translations in the future. I don't think other websites would appreciate the extra line in your translations asking for voluntary donations too or having half subtitles.
I think you're making an error about the "making money with the adds". Depending on your status or willing to pay Euro 10 each year (less than 3 euro cent a day) to have no adverts at all.
I guess you don't have any idea about the server costs to maintain 4 million plus .srt files or giving enough power to give the many users to access this site.
Anyway, good luck ;)

After writing your misleading topic about respect and appreciation which in fact was about (a tricky way to gain) money and your rather agressive posts in viewtopic.php?f=1&t=15987 you are now posting a topic with a few pretty crucial details missing.

SmallBrother (that's me, nice to meet you) deleted 6 (six) of your 52 uploads. That's not really a lot, is it? They were deleted, because those uploads were incomplete subtitles, asking for money to get the missing part. This is not really a service to the community, as you would put it, is it? Those are the reasons why I deleted the subs, and I clearly explained it to you. All your other subtitles were untouched.

You think it's fair you get paid if people use your subtitles. But are you paying for using this web site? I don't think so. So, this is a little bit one-way street-thinking, isn't it? Further, ALL subtitles on opensubtitles are provided for free, no exception, NONE. What qualification you think places you or your subtitles beyond that? I think nothing is getting close to justifying that. In fact, I think your subtitles are pretty mediocre.

Feel free to start your own subtitle web site. All the best. Just so that you know in advance: DO NOT promote the URL of that website (if it ever comes) on opensubtitles.org, regardless inside or outside of the subtitles.

You may have noticed that a couple of admins have spent, no, wasted quite a lot of time on this, well, let's call it nonsense. I don't think you are worth to spend even more time on. Except the fact that I have removed your Sub Translator badge (your multiple half subtitles don't really meet the standards) and the Trusted badge (this is meant for users to be trusted).
Further, as Scooby007 said, do with your account what you want. You can remove your account by yourself (admin SimplyTheBOSS was so kind to explain you how). Or you can just leave and never come back anymore. Either way would be a blessing.

Bye.

Good day,
But are you paying for using this web site? I don't think so. So, this is a little bit one-way street-thinking, isn't it? Further, ALL subtitles on opensubtitles are provided for free, no exception, NONE.
Do you consider money the only medium by which users pay? Advertisers don't believe this, as they pay for eyes to see their ads (impressions). Opensubtitles.org makes money from their visitors whether they are VIP members who pay directly, or users who pay by seeing advertisements.

Not only do users pay by seeing banner ads, but Opensubtitles.org is riddled with advertisements and click-throughs that are disguised to look like site navigation. For example, just today I clicked on what seemed to be a link to the season 1 subtitles for the series Trigun. I literally clicked the blue link "Season 1" on the subtitles page for Trigun, and I was promptly redirected off the site, with no warning, and taken to a scam site that said my computer was infected w/ 3 viruses with a loud audio beeping sound. How unprofessional. I thought I had clicked the wrong thing so I tried again and this time was deposited on a porn site. I've heard that antivirus and porn ad networks pays more than the others, but it's not doing your users any kindness.

This kind of user experience costs the user time and frustration--or money since the frustration caused by disguised ads is meant to get people to pay for VIP. This in turn takes confidence away from the site, the team running it, and the community. It harms everyone here. I implore you for the good of the site and the community to remove these disguised ads. Of course it's reasonable to have ads, no argument there, but disguising them is trickery, deception, and takes legitimacy away from the good you're trying to do.

All the best and have a lovely day.

Hi,

we dont support any porn ads, if you see any, please send me screenshot. With popunders, yes, sometimes there is this virus warning, not so cool. We have always hard time to change pop provider, because almost all of them they put this kind of things there, or they pay nothing.

Maybe we should keep site only for registered members and only members who pay can visit it, so there will be no ads. And yes, then we can close this...because 99% people will not pay. Or what about to run some monero mining on web ?...

anyway, we are working hard on new site, it will be much better, I promise. In meantime just ignore those pops, register, login, you will see them less.
