OpenSubtitles forum

The admin user M_I_S has repeatedly removed every English subtitle except his own for the title 'Talk to Me (2022)'.

Only his own and VikramJS' are left now, but I uploaded a YIFY-synced subtitle before that which he removed 5 times before he put my account in read only. I think this is a despicable way to run a site, by randomly removing people's subtitles. Instead, people should be allowed to pick for themselves which subtitle they want to download and the best one will win.

The links to my subtitles which he removed (I originally uploaded mine before him, BTW):

This is abusive behavior, and no way to foster a community or run a web site.

I see this is not the first time M_I_S does this, and I wonder how many times it's happened without people making a complaint.

When you remove people's subtitles for petty reasons like this, all that's gonna do is make people not want to contribute to the site. You're turning users away. It makes zero point for anyone to want to contribute, when they know their subtitle can be removed for nonsense reasons at any time. I understand now why I often see the same admin accounts being first to upload English subs for movie releases. It's because they delete all the subtitles that already existed and then upload their own (which isn't really their own but merely copied from someone else, with only minor modifications).

Not much to say here...
It was explained to you by 2 admins why the subtitles were deleted.
Your subs appear before the audio in the video file, so it's not sync.
As there are better ones on the website, your subtitle were deleted.
So, i don't see anything wrong or abusive behavior.
Furthermore, your type of language is not the best, lacking respect for the admin.

If your goal is really to get rid of unsynced subtitles in general, you're really doing a poor job. The vast majority of subtitles on the site are not synced, so it's clear to me the deletion of my subtitle had nothing to do with the sync but more to do with megalomaniacal admins wanting to claim sole ownership of subtitles on the site, especially for new movie releases.

The subtitle I used to re-sync mine is VikramJS' SDH sub, as I've already stated in the comments of M_I_S' profile page. I did a very basic re-sync, so that means that VikramJS' sub has the exact same problems as mine. If you watch his sub with the release it's for, you'll see it has the same sync problems. But you keep his sub cause you've already abused your power by deleting his subs in the past, so you can't do it anymore. That's why his subtitle is the only one left besides M_I_S'. My sub was not the only one to get deleted. There were others. I still think this is abuse, and I stand by my profanity as I will not show any respect to people who don't have any respect for others.

Also, if you care so much about good behavior, why don't you put the account of this psycho in read only too:

It's fine to be offensive as long as it's not to an admin, which yet again proves that you don't care about anything other than your own power, and the attention you get when you've deleted every single subtitle but your own from the site.
