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.

Sorry, I didn't vote for this to be reclassified. (Jangankan minta direklasifikasi, tahu caranya juga nggak :))
in front of their governor, API complained on the deep-root red tapes within ...
perhaps its a typo.
In front of the governor, API complained about complicated bureaucracy that has cruelly choked...
"mengecik" looks to me a typo of "mencekik" (strangling, choking).
Also, API is the association of Indonesian garment/textile producers/entrepreneurs, so they would not have a governor. I guess, "gubernur" here refers to a governor of a province where API paid a courtesy visit.
Something went wrong...
