agrees/disagrees Nov 28, 2008

Hi Romina,

Just two questions/comments. I've seen several like/dislike tags for the same word/phrase in several texts. Shouldn't the system prevent this, allowing more space for other tags, and just accept agrees/disagrees on such tag? Some text appear with let's say 5 dislikes, while 3 are the same term...

Also, what if you agree with a dislike in your own text? Why can't one agree, if you realize you made a mistake?

Thanks!

Elizabeth

small technical problem Nov 28, 2008

I have found that not the whole text that you entered in the "like"/"dislike" comment filed is shown, thus the rest of the comment may become not understandable.

Ethical problem Nov 28, 2008

In view of the fact that now it is not allowed to post ungrounded "dislikes", some commenters, unable to prove their opinion with words just copy the corresponding text from translation in the comment filed.

I believe such "dislikes" shall be disqualified.
