Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
This seems like such a strange take. You make it sound like it's cost you effort to translate the error, but how are you quantifying that effort? If effort efficiency is something you're striving for, it doesn't feel like it makes sense to correct the mistake (which costs effort to do)
The gap between the two - what they said and what they meant - seems so small it probably took more "work" to correct them.
I'd go as far as to say that the work to correct them will never be repaid by the saved effort of not having to encounter this particular mistakes from this particular person ever again.
It's more effort than a straight read.
I didn't correct anyone, by the way. I'm just a different person griping about how much it sucks to have to communicate with people who don't care about being understood.
And you're right, correcting people is even more work! So on top of the work of translating their stupid post we now have to tell them they were wrong so they don't do this to us again. If they aren't ever corrected they'll just keep being wrong and we'll have to keep translating their posts.
The alternative is to block them so we never see their posts ever again, which honestly is a better idea. It not like we're missing out.
