Developing our ideas Oct 24, 2024

I agree we can't stop change, and that we shouldn't ignore AI. It can help us if we're using it as suggestions like we use MT now. We just have to keep protect ourselves from abuse while we do it.

I'll leave the points you raised on MTPE and pricing for some other time. For now, I'll address only the potential features.

I agree we can't stop change, and that we shouldn't ignore AI. It can help us if we're using it as suggestions like we use MT now. We just have to keep protect ourselves from abuse while we do it.

I'll leave the points you raised on MTPE and pricing for some other time. For now, I'll address only the potential features.

1) That is a much needed feature. We're on the right track, but let me ask you about those text-only job posts. Do you agree that they make any kind of filtering, including the fair market badge, bypassable? I can only think of one solution, which would be to remove text-only posts, and making the full-on form mandatory. What do you think about that assessment, and do you have any other ideas?

2) I didn't know about that feature. So you have the framework for using the "community rate" as a means for filtering and ultimately distinguishing posts that honor it. It could be used as the prerequisite for the fair market badge. Yes, I can see how outdated rates could ruin it. What if you couldn't leave the rates empty in your profile. I mean, if you could only enter your rates (and those will be factored into the community rate), or you could opt into the community rate. One potential issue with this is that it could make the "community rate" too low, because we would probably have too many people entering super low rates, and that would in turn be used as the means to distinguish still low-paying posts with a fair market badge, which would be a colossal failure of the feature. I think the more distant from the current community rate you enter, the less weight it should have when factoring it into the new community rate. If my logic is sound, that would prevent both outliers with rates too high and people charging dumping rates from influencing the community rate too much. As for outdated rates, what if the user had to confirm their rates again every 6 months, otherwise they inherit the community rate?

And I really like Jana's idea about letting people see the reason why you're rejecting a post. How feasible is it? I would like to see this working for sure. ▲ Collapse
