    Because this is an english speaking forum were all the staff speak english. You cannot possibly expect a moderator to sit in a translation site/program and first try to find what language the person is speaking in then find the translation for it. Translation programs are not accurate anyway and its just a waste of time.

    It is far simpler this way and makes life easier. There are plenty of forums that have this rule.

    It states unless posted in Foreign Langauges Forum.

    "A33. Do not post on the forum using a different language. - Posting in any language other than English is not allowed (this does not apply to coding languages in the web design forums). There are some exceptions such as "Merci", "Au revoir", "Bonjour", "Ciao" or any other well known basic words. This rule does not apply to the foreign languages forum nor VIP sub-forums."

    because the World... and especially the Uk (as this is a Uk forum) doesn't just speak English.

    Also, I do not see why I and other British citizens can not post on a British Forum in their national language, so therefore I shall not "bugger off".
    I dont give tow ***** if its a "british language" its not one i understand thus its not British in my eyes.

    and we've already talked about if the translation was found to be very inaccurate the poster would be warned ect. And it would only be in a select forum. Its like I don't understand coding, but its still there. I just ignore that forum.
    The coding is down to 'website language' i dont agree with it much but its one of the most active forums so it used often, along with as said why should mods check what the posts mean its wasting time and i wouldnt want to.

    Thus with an English speaking forum, you get English speaking members who will be just as confused as moderators/management. Besides, saying every word in a foreign language will be used as flaming can be considered slightly racism for a member. They could be expressing their feelings using their own language in a beautiful and poetic way "/

    Habbox has this rule which allows you to post off topic when you are replying to a post that is gradually off topic, but it is considered on topic for a thread as a whole. WHy can't someone post off topic in a foreign language. It's hardly bad and just seems like management are taking away one freedom. What if you want to describe a French/German/Russian review on something? Will that be off topic too?
