The admin of the Basque language section 'Azpidatziak' is sistematically deleting all subtitles that I submit, giving no reasons at all for that behaviour.
I have known that other people's subtitles are being erased as well. I know of some users that have received insults when they have demanded for reasons for deletion thru the internal messaging system of Opensubtitles.
Publically, in the forum, the admin remains silent after people's respectful requests to allow submissions. https://forum.opensubtitles.org/viewtop ... 976#p33976
In other user's cases, he lets some subs pass, while others are deleted.
Until recently Azpidatziak has been the sole uploader of the Basque section of OpenSubtitles. No wonder, it seems that he has been deleting and harassing users back in the past too. Ref. from 2013: http://www.opensubtitles.org/en/subtitl ... x-11-23-eu
He has uploaded certainly lots of subs, and that's fine, but it seems he only respects his own work. Moreover, he has also localised this website into Basque, and that would be fine if it weren't for the fact that this user's spelling and terminology is in many cases a self-invented language, not standard Basque. His subs are also written in that kind of pseudo-Basque.
I don't expect Opensubtitles to decide on the subject of "correct or incorrect Basque spelling", but the matter would be a minor thing as long as extra versions of subs can be uploaded with other translations. Sadly, Azpidatziak doesn't admit that. Adding versions of films first subbed by him are marked for immediate deletion.
I request that the general admins of Opensubtitles review this claim, see the logs, and please remove the abusive Azpidatziak of his admin status.
I think that other submitters of Basque subs can sustain these claims of mine.
Thanks for your attention. Pls keep the good work; these kind of resources are important for a minority language like Basque and it feels bad that we should bother you with this abuse nuisance, but well, I think it's in the best interest of Opensubtitles not to have abusive admins among you.
