Apparently you can now get banned for "harassing" a forum troll!!!

Apparently, calling someone an idiot and telling them to go away in 15 different languages is harassing behavior. Go figure!

An outrageous yet strangely awesome reason to get a temporary ban...

Quite! Shame the translator that I downloaded only does 15 languages Sad

I do love the swedish translation and I will try to use it whenever I have a chance. How is the english original phrase for it? :-)

Edit: I semi-understand the german translation though into "Please go away" or something similar, probably without the "please"?

I think the English was "You are an idiot. Please go away." Seemed reasonable enough to me.
Why is the Swedish so interesting?

I said I have no idea. Being cryptic isn't going to help. Just tell me what the problem is with it.

It's just phrased abit weird. Not a normal way of saying it. As is usual when using translation progs or sites..

I would translate the last sentence as "Entertain, go away" or maybe "Satisfy, go away". :-)

Phrased a bit weird? Not a normal way of saying it? Hehe...

haha.. yeah.. it translated please as in "to please"

Guest

So none of it has been translated in a way that might be taken to be swearing then?

Guest

Hmm, so to tell someone they are an idiot in multiple languages is offensive, but it's ok to tell people that because people that WE pay are too crap at their jobs to make a bunch of forums work in multiple languages is ok? Double standards methinks!

Maybe it was a swedish GM that got jinxed about the translation? Hehe

Are you still referring to the swedish translation? Then the first part of it was translated correctly (I will try not to comment on the other langagues).

The Swedish one is -as stated wrong in the second part- it says "You are an idiot. Satisfy goes away."
