The merit system will not work overnight. The merit system will be abused. But at the end the amount of nonsense will start to drop, or at least stay under certain levels.
And with that the amount of auto-translated posts should also decrease, since they have the smallest chance to get merit.
We need patience. Until then there's a simple solution: ignore user.
I agree that no system is a) perfect and b) in full use from day one. Perhaps a separate section for shitposting?
