Tags state fact, and it's a fact that the translations in those posts are not faithful to the original so fake_translation tag is appropriate.

I don't even bother to hide my disgust for him anymore. He's basically an ownership-sanctioned site vandal.
I've deleted most of them. They were generally 1) bad art, or 2) contextless manga scans that existed for no reason other than the stupid jokes contained within anyway. This is not 4chan.
Some were soft translations of originals and thus the image did not need to be deleted, just the bad notes. Some of which were done by people that I'd like to think know better now.
Undecided on post #698883 - anyone have an original to replace it with?
Also, is post #841774 actually a fake translation? The notes imply it's not fake.
The original is in English, so it's not translated at all. Maybe henmere meant that it's fake translation because it is really NOT what sniper wolf says in that scene (in the game), and the text is directly taken from that manga (Haou Airen) for "humorous purposes". The pose is also directly taken from the managa, so there's no way the pixiv artist just put a fake translation on an existing image.

The terms of service don't forbid posting jokes.

Presumably he's albert's friend/lover/bookie, or it would have been done long ago.
I don't care if he sticks around as a user, I just want him to stop vandalising the goddamn site. Has anyone actually brought this up with albert? AFAIK, he doesn't follow the forum in any regular way, and certainly has no time to monitor individual mods' behaviour, so there's nothing to say he's actually aware of the extent of the damage Seem causes.
Regardless of what Seem does, this isn't the type of thread nor place to be bringing it up. This is Albert's site and if he wants to keep Seem on (as much as I hate him being a mod myself), that's his choice.

I am pretty sure I've seen the original somewhere.. Might take me awhile to find it.
