Feedback / Why are some requests for translation shoved into the random chat thread? [42]
I would say it's been online since 2004 - web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.yourniagara.ca
What if 50% of all members were coming here just to "want translations"? I'm not sure how a person who even learns English or Polish could benefit from a random text posted in a translation section. Plus, those who are long-term members and are genuinely interested in discussions about Poland tend to be annoyed by a person who out of the blue requests or demands translations (sometimes in unrelated threads because "it's urgent").
A similar situation is/was with the job section people from different countries wanted to post inadequate job offers or requests.

I know that those who only come on wanting translations are not contributing to the forum... but maybe, by finding that translation they want, they are helping a fellow Polish person: were it a fellow Scot, I'd be pleased about something like that and not annoyed...why isn't it allowed/okay?
