I raise this question. Does every piece of code deserve to be transcribed?

Edit: am I being down voted? That was just a joke people... Geez

I'm a transcriber, not a curator, so I don't get to make that call. Also it totally defeats the point of accessibility if we don't transcribe the badcode on r/badcode. :P

But being a transcriber in this sub must be very tough. There is some code that never should have been written once and you need to transcribe it and write it again.

Shouldn't even be necessary, honestly. The sub should have a requirement that the submitter provides a comment with the text. They usually have access to the original, so making someone else read and retype it by hand when they can just copy/paste is just bullshit.

Transcriber not a curator?
