Have you considered that perhaps silvia367325 is more talented than the rest of her peers and, in fact, spotted a serious flaw last time which lesser trained/experienced eyes failed to spot? Perhaps a mistake that most translators make and therefore don't readily pick up on themselves - what then?

So, is she getting penalised for simply not going with the flow? I find it quite insulting actually - seems to me like silvia367325 (and anyone else in her position) has been labelled as "something" without any right of rebuttal. Debs

I agree. The fact that one entry wins doesn't mean that it can't have serious flaws. I have seen some extremely poor translations qualified.
