Hi- I\'m Karin

I tranlated documents from french into german for a member of ProZ. She sent me an order by fax and called me too. In the beginning, she was nice - the work was pressing.

She also translates polish and english. If you want to know who she is, you can ask me by e-mail.

She's not the only one Dec 6, 2001

Report them Dec 6, 2001

If they are Proz members who are non-paying after a good amount of time (2 months or more), you should report them to Proz.



Perhaps Proz could send them reminder messages that if they don\'t settle their accounts with translators, they will no longer be eligible to use the site.



Inappropriate comments in the forums or Kudoz are moderated and not put out to the public, so should job offers from companies with a known history of non-payment.

However, Proz won\'t know who the non-payers are if we don\'t tell them.
