Moderators on OneSky to mitigate trolling

Hello, everyone.

I have been a translator for a long time and the situation with absurd translations, at least on pt-BR, is pretty bad. I wouldn't doubt it if some were children that don't know what they were doing, but most are actually trolls.
A bad phrase even made it to a release and lasted months until I caught it. I created a second account to upvote my own phrase.

There seems to be no way to flag translations or users.
In some cases, I can star the correct phrases, but not when the phrases are mine. Besides, that could start a voting race and make the situation worse.

@MacroDroidDev Is there support for moderators or flags on One Sky?

Translators have a solution?

@MacroDroidDev has this happening sometimes and has to fix everything. Maybe he has a way of making moderators on OneSkyApp like here on the forum ?
I emailed the developer (support@macrodroid.com) for a faster response.

@guilhermgonzaga Thanks for making me aware. There seems to be certain languages that attract a large number of trolls who think it's fun to come and change one or more phrases to something stupid. I can't understand why anyone would bother to take the time to do this, but clearly they do. I do try and eye ball the changes on every language file on each update to spot obvious stuff, but clearly when I don't speak the language I won't catch everything.

I have made you a moderator, so you may have more power if you spot such things.
