With the spat between Fomos and Team Liquid, Translations from Chinese sources are now forbidden, because most of it is Fomos content. This leaves Chinese translators without a job for the most part. Some have found niche roles, doing grunt work like updating Liquibet and never dancing. Infinitestory is one of the few staff members who contributes nothing to the cause of Team Liquid. Yet he continues to hold special privileges as a staff member. He has made it clear that he does not intend to become an asset to Team Liquid. I am not the only one outraged by such an injustice. If you belief as strongly as I do that Infinitestory should be removed as a member of the Team Liquid staff, sign the petition in the following link.

I don't have an opinion on the issue, but what does he get for being staff member? (what are staff member privileges?)

well apparently it's cause:

This sends a strong message to members of Team Liquid. The higher powers are not afraid to cut spending in times of economic hardship. They will not succumb to being a boy's club, where special rights are granted to the undeserved.

lol

I can't believe anyone cares enough to sign his own petition 3 times.

You're... "outraged" by this "injustice"?

What? I can't tell if this is some kind of troll or friendly thing or what. Why is this so important to you?

May as well take away the privileges and special icons of all staff members from the old old BW era that don't post anymore too...

What's your problem? It's not like I'm avoiding translating by choice; there's simply no Chinese material. I even tried SC2 translations for a while, but nobody reads interviews in there.

Oh I just now noticed your silly pun in the thread title. That coupled with the 3 idiotic comments that you clearly posted really brings forth your dedication and professionalism on the matter. The ones that were posted before you even made this blog...

Complain about a volunteer who does good work on an internet forum you can browse for free?

Hell, I'd thank infinitestory. Unlike you, he's doing good work out of the goodness of his heart.

The point of this blog, I presume, is that he isn't doing any work. Regardless of his intentions your argument isn't responsive at all.
