Seraina Hartmann your idea is the correct way in addressing this.
I see from your screen print you are also in the right area of the solution to implement such a penalty.

To see a list of your TM contributors you need to assess the actual TM and evaluate the created by fields. You can do this in the Translation Memory Maintenance view, open your TM.

Approach this based on the shortest list. Example you have a trusted list of only 5 contributors vs unknown number who's translations were not validated.
So therefore your filters and penalties will apply to all BUT the 5 listed, which is manageable.

That said, you mention

After getting back the sdlxliff files or the project packages, we import the segments into our main TM.

I fear your goal may not be easy to manage as TM's were not updated by the contributors themselves.
I suspect the translated segments will be associated to you and its then not possible to trace back original contributor of of translation.
One of the problems not working with central live TM'

If however you updated translation memories AND also amended the USER TM ID - then your goal is achievable

Hi  

Thank you very much for getting back so fast.

Is there an automated way to evaluate our TM regarding the "created by" / "modified by" / "used by" fields?

It is indeed easier to create a list of the "trusted translators". But how can I reverse the filter then to make sure it applies only to the "non trusted IDs"?

Regarding the update of the TM: This should not be a problem in our case as our Translation Managers perform this task and we can include their IDs in the penalty list (or exclude them in case of applying a reverse filter).

Thanks a lot for your support.

Best regards

Seraina

Play around by enabling the NOT column when you add your filters

Makes sense, I didn't see this column.

Thanks a lot for this hint.

I will test this and update the thread afterwards.

I'd like to come back to your suggestion on how to find a list of all TM contributors:

Where do I find this list you mentioned?

Thanks a lot
