They auto-translated Original Poster as Původní plakát where “plakát” does mean “poster” but only the kind that you hang on a wall.

Another win for auto translation.

    What annoys me the most is that it does it “transparently” and shows up on searches as if the thread was originally written in your language.

      I’ve noticed this too and it drives me up the fucking wall. Give us an option or something - anything. Why is this a thing?

        Probably because they care more about getting you to click than about what content they offer. You enter thinking you’ll find a culturally/geographically relevant answer to a question only to find something that only applies to the US.
