What's going on?

Non-PRO English to Latvian Other
Sorry to disappoint you, but I don't need a translation of the above phrase! Given that we don't have a moderator in our language pairs and to avoid humilating a certain "DV" in public, I thought it most appropriate to post here.
I know I've also played my part in answering a number of the 'questions' that have appeared this week, but quite frankly it's now getting beyond a joke.
If we all want to 'collect' points then let's just continue wasting our time.

My major concern is that questions from 'serious' askers disappear in this barrage of horseradish and aubergines.

Please, DV, cut down on the questions and open your dictionary, or try google.com.

(Answers welcome in both languages!)

Yeah,

some questions seemed serious, others made me wonder if the person who doesn’t posses a dictionary can pose as translator, and these doubts were increased even more, when in more than half a cases the points were awarded to the most wrong of all answers. All the questions came from one person, and though I myself earned some points on some plain dictionary questions, I propose to contact the Staff and to nullify this shameful thing that took place in last two days.
Peer comment(s):

agree Serge L : Even though I don't know Latvian, I was wondering why the questions kept coming in both directions and apparently, there was no link between the questions asked. It's great to see that I was not the only one who noticed it ;o)

agree Vi Pukite : The numerous misspellings in the phrases to be translated made me wonder too.
