In fact, I congratulate you for your message. I just wish you had replied to my PM before bringing this to the wall.

Let's start with the current procedure of a change of status. When I first accepted the task (actually, it was given to me), I asked TRANG how I should handle this kind of discussion. She said I should be reasonable. I believe if she decided to give me the admin status, she did it because she trusted me. The thing is we BOTH agreed with the procedure we've been following.

Just to make it clear: yes, I just bring a request to the wall if I feel like the user is ready. But to know that, I do a lot of research and try to avoid personal judgement. In fact, some users who are now corpus maintainers had their requests denied a few months ago and are great in what they do today. We wouldn't need an admin for this task if it was that simple.

Unfortunately, when you asked to become a CM or an AC, you didn't seem to understand basic concepts such as linking/unlinking or even tagging sentences. Recent threads on the wall are proof. The fact that you make mistakes is OK, as long as you don't lead other users to make the same mistakes.

I was really sad when I saw what happened because the rules were not followed. It shouldn't have been different with you because you're not different from other users who also want to become advanced contributors or corpus maintainers. To tell you the truth, very few users had their requests denied since I've been responsible for this task, but they had the sensibility to understand and recognize why I did that.

You acted childish. I sent you a long and detailed message six days ago explaining all the reasons you're not ready to become an advanced contributor or a corpus maintainer, but instead of an answer, all I got were messages such as this: http://tatoeba.org/eng/sentences/show/2777155
Now, all of a sudden, you're an advanced contributor and has already messed up some sentences with incorrect tagging.

Last, I don't want to sound disrespectful, but you shouldn't talk about things you don't know anything about. No, I'm not "deciding the future of this website" (I don't even have time to do that). I'm just doing the job I was asked to do, and if you guys think I'm not doing it right, I don't mind to have the admin status removed. In fact, I've been doing everything I could to make Tatoeba a better place to work in, and it was never my intention to insult you or make you leave. However, I'm human, just like you said, and it kind of discourages me when I read such comments.

Cuando vamos a dar un examen o buscar un trabajo a nadie le importa nuestro corazón o nuestra alma sino nuestro desenvolvimiento. Yo solo voy a apuntar a lo que me compete, usted tiene todo el derecho de poner tags en las frases en portugués que considere correctas, pero es ilógico poner la tag Ok en un frase que no está en su idioma, más allá de estar muy claro en la guía que usted mismo me mandó para que lea. Ante esta situación creo que debería quitarla y tener esto en cuenta de ahora en adelante.
