Rule Proposal

[wazzacky]

If everyone speaks English, then what is the big deal?



The Anti Rip Association(ARA) is a site me and a friend started for creating a blacklist of known art rippers.

ure advocating discrimination. Thats what the big deal is. My argument was completly valid on why that proposed rule should be neglected... like pam said some one speaking in another language on a day2day basic would be considered spam and actions would be taken there on.

Why would it be spam?? What if I knew japanese and someone else here did as well. We could pass an inside joke. Just do a few posts. Maybe even have a conversation. Just because you can't read it doesn't mean it is spam. I am also sure that you would be able to tell if it would be spam or not.

Anyways I only speak english but I am dead set against this becoming a rule or someone getting an infractionn for it.

this is an English forum, i vote the rule stays.

i should be able to understand what he or she is saying. besides English is widely used, there isn't a person who haven't heard one or two words of English.

Wrong. I just meet a Japanese girl last night that didn't know one word of english. Needless to say it stop me any.

[Mathalamus]

....right i dont wanna know. still this is an english forum and people shoud be warned for not speaking english.

[Siris]

If people should get warned for not speaking english then you should be perm banned for being a ****ing moron.


And I will leave this site.

[Pamela]

Are any of you posting in Japanese? No...the owner of the site speaks English...I will make SURE it is a rule...hate me if you want...but English it is boys...as I said random posts in another language is allowed.

If you start threads in a foreign language I will do one of 2 things. I will nail posts as spam...or I will delete the whole thread.
Fair warning.

[Siris]

Okay then this is where I'll say goodbye.


Goodbye.

I hate to see you go,you are one of my favorites. But I will not bend on this..English it is or I can't effectively Moderate if I do not understand what the F.CK is being typed.

It is pretty much that simple.

[Mathalamus]

well im sure you can understand a bit of german pam, you seem to know everything

[wazzacky]

ese es merde. This can be considered a form of discrimination. I consider it a form of discrimination. Im taking a hiatus (perhaps permanent). Email me if u guys decide to be sensible.

[Mathalamus]

english forum english speakers, you all speak english what the hell is the problem?

[Pamela]

What part of random posts did you all NOT understand?
Yes Math I DO speak some German..a bit of French, and Spanish.

I Was a Pearl sac leader for a Spanish speaking linkshell in FFXI.

Threads must be MADE in English....adding posts in another language is acceptable.
But for GOD'S SAKE...help me out here...do I need to break out the auto-translator just to know what is being said?

[Mathalamus]

no im sure you can translate any language cause you know everything. there is no translator available for me tho.

[The Mob]

how on earth did this thread turn into an argument about english?
come on people.
while i agree with some of these rules, others are ridiculous

does pam stay on topic when posting in the tech and d2 section?
should spit ban himself for posting links to programs and other stuff?
does zero deserve to be warned for making a mistake about builds?
should spit be banned for ripping movies?
does blue deserve to be banned for posting those keys?
does this thread deserve to be closed because a flame war has started?
isnt all of the chatbox just random stuff, which is considered spam?

[Pamela]

Well said and ...
