Man, you're really diving headfirst down the rabbit hole on this one--might it not be more efficient to report a few of his posts and just write a note for the mods to have a look at the rest of his posts? A couple of years ago when I had a bad bout of insomnia, I went on a reporting crusade, but I found that if a member is consistently shitposting/plagiarizing/whatever, you don't need to report every post.

But nice work on this, and don't drive yourself crazy looking for idiots like this using translation tools. If you take a close look at a lot of members' post history, you can find all sorts of rule-breaking and other offenses. This forum is still a cesspool of bitcoin-hungry degenerates employing an untold number of alt accounts and who knows what else.

Not sure you've realized, but my avatar is literally a scuba diver.... Easy jokes aside, I had not idea what I was getting myself into; I started casually checking posts, and during the first 3/4 pages, every time there was room for a reasonable doubt, I didn't report any post. But then I realized what was going on and well... I didn't feel like checking 91 pages of post history, so after reporting that much, I simply created the thread, both for feedback reference and to help the moderators handling the reports (apart from PMing our local one).

Our local Altcoin board needs some overhauling, and I had to start somewhere. If there's a slim shot that every paid translation done poorly or this way gets deleted, then we may even see some improvement in the situation; post gets deleted, bounty hounter doesn't get paid. An effort has to be made, but if there's a chance, I'm willing to take it.

Note that I'm only talking about paid posts/translations; there are a couple of situations in which the aid of a translation tool is acceptable

Thanks for your words though
