190. You are not a troll

Thu Jun 5, 2014, 06:54 PM

Jun 2014

The problem is there is no way to effectively deal with someone trolling the site in Thai.

They post a death threat against a politician and you say, "What did you say?"

And the troll says, "It means 'heavenly blessings to you'".

You put it into Google translate and it says "Go into the happy afterlife" and you think "okay, it means heavenly blessings I guess."

And what it actually says is "Drop dead, fool."
