When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Flaming The term "flaming" springs to mind. Not sure about the actual wording, though.

For Falschmeldungen ... I would probably say fake messages.
Julia Burgess Dec 13, 2017:
Possibly: malicious posts But could also just be silly/joke posts. Is this Austrian/Bavarian German?

hate post, hate speech

I'd say hate posts or hate speech

... too much advertising, hate speech and fake news

From German hetzen, so a Hetzpost is a post in dem gehetzt wird, a post which attacks someone, which stirs up hatred or incites violence or prejudice against someone (or against a certain group of people).

inflammatory comments would be another option but I'd stick with hate speech which (along with fake news) is one of the current buzzwords

malicious post

I think this is most likely related to Hetze, rather than Hetz, so therefore malicious rather than fun. NB: Post, not posting.

trolling

hateful posts on Facebook and similar sites, often consisting of ad hominem attacks. The person doing this would be referred to as a troll.
Example sentence:

I'm closing my Facebook account, because I just can't stand the trolling about Obama anymore.

more common term hatemail

You hear e.g. in the News the term hatemail rather than hatepost for Hetzpost and in connection with this also the term hatecrime. I believe in German that would be Hassdelikt or perhaps Beleidigung.

Hetze und Hass

Hetze and the verb hetzen has at its base the word Hass (hate). If you hate someone this might be more of an attitude, if you persecute them with words or apply the action of stalking, hetzen would be an appropriate term.
hetzen is making somebodie's life a misery, rather than just harbouring hate quietly to yourself
