I think it’s a disgrace. Tell that guy he can stop posting stuff now, you don’t want it anymore

I think being critical of WG EU does not equal being anti-Wargaming, it wouldn’t be a World of tanks blog if that were true.
Yes supporting a copy-paste blog is below industry standards as is also failing every week at various things. Their weekly mistakes create confusion and anger among the players, harming Wargaming’s image. The players could rightfully think that WG is purposely trying to screw them over, but if they see here that they are just incompetent, they’ll just laugh it over and continue playing.
I’m starting to think that France based companies in general are poor managers of employees and customers (I work for one), they should move WG EU’s HQ to….*shock,gasp*…Germany. :p

Personally i am fine with it, however it is your product and it is for you to decide. However i would like it add that since he is already changing names and deleting content, that perhaps it would be best for you to put an end to it. What i am thinking is that WG will make it very nice for him to forget to post negative articles about their office/game and only post the items that make them look good. That will get them what they want, a nice tame and controllable FTR.

Not sure if you know about this guy, but he’s translating your developer-answers in German and post them in the forum with a link to his own website. He’s doing a fine job and is linking your blog as a source. His name is EiKarrRamba and thanks to his translating-work he’s a Community Conributor and his website was promoted in one of those “Community in the spot” or how it’s called in English.
I don’t think there’s a problem about (cause he’s making the same job like you but not from Russian to English but form English to German) – just want to keep you informed if you should decide to overthink your handling with those translators…

In your Position I would do three things:
-First write a ticket on WG-Support by telling them what’s going on and make them feel that it’s not good for a company to support plagiarism (cause that’s what he doing if he replaces SS by his nickname)
-Second write that guy, that you don’t allow him to translate your post (cause you have the rights) so he’s forced to translate just extracts (if not you can go to court – or just threat him to do so). And you can force him to write his source (your blog) well visible under every article.
-Third (this optional dependig on how you want to appear: aggressive or cautious) you can make a cooperation with Dorm1n by blaming this Polish guy and maybe initate a ittle shitstorm flying around the forums (especially the post that focus on the promoting of this official fanpage) and a calumny-campaign at other translating blogs (using your material).

This. I wouldn’t be surprised if the “author” and that polish WG Ambassador were one person in fact.

Would agree. At the same time, whiner.
