Yesterday I was trying to post some answers to GBK questions, when I just found out that I was not entitled to do so due to my "lack" of specialization in the respective fields. And, strangely enough, these "foreign" (so to speak) fields were quite few (maybe, I just got unlucky yesterday).
I am just wondering why should there be such barriers and targeting of translators (which I have also noticed happening in regular KudoZ) and not let anyone suggest an answer, when the discarding of unprofessional (let's say) - or, at least, not best - answers is guarded by the peer voting and comments, which are - after all - the final criterion of grading and choosing one answer as "THE answer".
Or am I wrong?
I had some very good answers (it seemed to me, of course, and it would be up to my colleagues to determine) which I was not allowed to share due to this requirement to be "specialized in filed" and it just felt uncomfortable yesterday. So, I would really appreciate your opinions about it. Has anyone else experienced it, or is it that I am overreacting?
Thank you for your time and sharing!
Albana

In my language combination EN-SR there are lot of unanswered or still open GBK questions.
Oposite of regular KudoZ, for GBK you can not just enter your answer/translation (often without any explanation or sources to confirm it), but to do some research, find definition in target language, example sentences, sources... That is the reason why many regular KudoZ answerers do not care for GBK or dare to answer the questions.
So, I agree with you Albana - GBK rules are exact, there are criteria for defining good and applicable answer and also for grading it - and I think GBK team should reconsider limitations and requirements.
Regards,
Milan

Glossary-building KudoZ (GBK) terms
The GBK network enables the ProZ.com community to find the best translation of a given term into a given language and to incorporate it into an authoritative glossary.
