How to deal with free rider?

[juanzhijiang]

There is a player who has almost changed all of my translation work of a game by paraphrasing some words into the same meaning or changing the verb. Totally free rider behavior, it’s not okay.
I have changed some of them back but feel like it’s a waste of my time, and what if he does that again?
Have any of you guys ever dealt with that before?

ps, I tried to report the player, but it seems like they can be reported only if they have messed up with the translations. His behavior seems like not going against the website's policy but really not ethical. How can I do?

Have you contacted the person and asked for their reasons behind these minor changes?
Maybe there were linguistic mistakes in your translations, which you werent aware of, or they updated your translations with terms out of the rulebook (so that the translation here on BGA matches with the wording in the rulebook), which would improve the translation and therefore be a legitimate reason.
But, if they cant give good reasons for their changes, so that its fairly undoubtedly free riding, and they do it another time, i would say its appropriate to report them or contact a mod/admin with the request to rebuke this user.
