Proz.com delete this crap! not real questions, just a way to get conspiracy crap indexed by Google Feb 8, 2021

I'm a KudoZ editor, so I can delete questions, but I never noticed one of the reasons was "Unprofessional; lacks literary/technical merit." Thanks for pointing this out. I shall use it in future, as it's a perfect description of the asker and her questions.

For those not familiar with her, she believes that "barack", as she calls him, is the Antichrist and will get his head blown off. Gays are sodomites who will go to hell.

Hi Phil,

Thanks for pointing this out. I just checked and … if you now google:

proz.com "barack" Antichrist

...you get like 12 hits, all full of absolute idiocy. Just a bunch of stream of consciousness bullshit written by a moron about Barack Obama being the antichrist, etc. Same olf BS: anti-vax, pro-Trump, pizzagate, QAnon, etc etc.

Spot the pattern?

I think Proz.com should delete all of these so-called ‘questions’, as they are nothing of the sort. Some idiot is just trying to get as much of their lunacy online as possible and has found a clever way of doing it.

I just reported her to Support Feb 8, 2021

Just had a closer look, and all her questions are patently bogus. Amazing this wasn't spotted sooner. All her so-called ‘questions’ need to be removed and she needs to be blocked. I'm all for free speech and all, but this is just taking the piss, as they say here in the UK.

PS: Christ on a crutch! If anyone's the antichrist, it's her.

I've just checked... Feb 9, 2021

...and her profile is still there. Time to report her again, I guess.
But while it's available, have a read. Her About-Me section is enough to make one cringe.
That's a professional translator for you. Jeez!

It was just part of the strategy Feb 9, 2021

A fake profile and self-deprecating attitude designed to attract sympathy – and it actually worked!
