He, he, he. That was probably a bit of mean advice:
@Inflationary_Bubble "but I think there should be a way to tell someone else about things such as this." Well, there are chat rooms you can use to do such with a minimum of 20 rep. — πάντα ῥεῖ1 min ago

Ahh, I probably favourited it on multiple accounts that were later merged.
It's probably just about the common use of phrases and connotations changing in regard of awareness not to offend anyone. As an example: When Astrid Lindgren published her "Pippi Langstrumpf" books, no one really felt disturbed about the title "Negerkönig" of Pippilotta's dad (it was that in the german translations). It was felt innocent and without bad connotation.
Nowadays it's considered a bad offence (maybe rightfully), and the translators have to overwork it to make our children aware, what is OK speech and what isn't.
And of course I don't use the word "Neger" myself, unless for citing it!
@user5389107 not quite, they can't be sued in class action by their workers. If the action or tort exists under another section of federal law then the claim is still actionable.
but yeah it's really really bad
I was about to post an image and then realized it would run afoul of the keep politics out guideline. sigh
Note this question needs expertise in german and english language1.
Much as mentioned in the title. I am asking about a good translation for the german colloquialism
Ich hab(e) schon Pferde kotzen sehen!
to express that "Things ever might happen, no matter how unlikely it seems to be."

Let's see if we can gain something to synchronize our commons, rather than emphasizing the diversities.

TBH? I am quite proud that they might call us the "Worst 'Do my homework plz' experience." out at the campus.
Hangover students having homework due at the next 2 hours after wild party nights at sunday are the least (minority) we want to see here. Others should try to sound differently and serious.
KennyBOT, there's nothing worse than unwanted email. and there is another one test, there's nothing worse than unwanted email. ... I obviously have more socks then accounted for ...
no, i disagree with "We all have to obviously, single or not.". while it's certainly... preferred to avoid profane language in most areas, it's certainly not a requirement
@KevinB "it's certainly not a requirement" IMO, we should make that an art of it's own way. We should drag that to it's extreme, and turn it to the sarcastic site with excessive formality. It might help for triggering a lower brain switch. :3
What happens to users who post clear and undeniable spam, which is then removed from spam flags and deleted by the Community User?
Why don't they get their account suspended if they are 1 rep and that was the only post they ever made? Is there a mod flag raised in addition to community deleting the post?
Oh. Well, I think that automatically deleting them is potentially problematic but unlikely to be completely destructive.
Hmm... Fair warning, this sounds expensive. I still think a better solution is to auto-destroy user accounts when their only contributions have been spam / abusive deleted. — Shog9 ♦30 mins ago
So... maybe they'll implement it... Would certainly make my life easier.
My main concern would be that the user creates a spam post, it gets burned. They then make a different account, and do the same thing. So long as the previous user didn't get suspended or nuked, it is possible the system may take some time in realizing that IP was causing problems.
I feel like the request headers could be a strong indication as well. Now I wonder how account duplication is detected. Oh well, no use barking up that tree.
Main point: that user should have been suspended or nuked right off the bat.
My common workflow when I see a blatant spam post by a 1 rep user is:
flag as spam (when I'm a mod this auto-deletes)
go to user profile
As a mod, I destroy the user. As a regular user I spam flag the other spam posts linked from the profile
These are a bit more clicks than absolutely necessa...
