Hey there.

I've seen some people constantly being quite disrespectful (... and borderline offensive) to other users, and that made me wonder - what does it take to get banned from the site?

Banning someone is an extreme action, so we Mods debate before doing anything. I personally only ban users who are clearly spammers or that insist on doing wrong things after being asked not to (i.e.: adding GT time and time again). Please let a Mod know if you're facing issues or feeling uncomfortable with any situation or any user, that way we can see what we can (and will) do.

What is (or are) GT?

GT means "translation made via Google Translate" or just "Google Translate"

I completely agree. It often takes things too literally or uses an alternate translation instead of the wording you were looking for. GT may be the best translator I have found, but it is not trustworthy. It's very good with languages that are used a lot, such as French or Spanish, but with Greek or Hebrew, it tends to give inaccurate translations.

Where and how do I flag a mistake? I guess it's a simple mistake that needs to be corrected nevertheless. Such as a translation to Greek and the language of the translation is nowhere near Greek :D. Here: https://lyricstranslate.com/ro/comment/424586#comment-424586

I guess it's Bulgarian, the author should know better. It's just not English-Greek :)

There's also "Report broken data" button on most pages.
