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.

TBH, that's all I did, wasn't familiar with it before now so I've learnt something new. Recalling that little piece of info if it ever comes up again will be another matter... Cheers

Discussion
Agree with Neil. For your information and future use: when posting KudoZ questions (which is a perfectly legitimate, valid professional thing to do) please include the type of report, where this term or phrase occurs in the report, and like Neil says your attempts at resolving the question first.
Also be considerate of your colleagues and CHECK YOUR SPELLING when you post a question! DON'T post questions with misspellings unless the misspelling is in the source itself (and then you should state that). There is NO reason to leave "generaf" in your question unless it's exactly that way in your source.
This is not meant as criticism, but as advice from one professional to another. We all have to learn these things, and ProZ is an outstanding place to learn.
You can correct the spelling here and also in your other question you just posted. Be careful and complete.
Yes, and include "thank you for your help" or something like that. I've posted over 1,100 questions here and each one (almost) has "thanks again for your help" at the end.
BTW, questions should include, source and target variants, your research, your analysis and attempt/s at translating the term. Plenty of askers also go the extra mile and use 'please and thank you' (optional but well received).
