HOLY BEEJEEBLES BATMAN! He's discussing and talking about something....on a forum of all places
Quick somebody do something?

Excuse this outburst...but it does have a value.

Is this not the point of a forum?
And how exactly is he talking in stars?

Okay im getting slightly worried now, do you happen to live in a bubble in the outside world?
I am on edge what to say to you (Not really), as everything we do say is an insult!

I have not said you have offended me, infact you have not really been immature, I can clearly see when you are joking or not.

jrh on the other hand has been immature through out his posts, and has came here to start an argument.

Its a welsh thing see, you can relate to me! But i am half English.
Anyway this thread has made the past hour pass quickly so now i am off to bed! :eusa_danc

No hard feelings (Even though that Ella kind of scares me, serious.)

Lol, they do say all Welsh people are related somehow which is kind of scary.
I enjoy a good debate passes time fast, but enough about that now we need to stay on topic.

The whole rule is stupid anyway. It's pointless, what could they possibly post which means little to management/moderators in any language which could be picked up by a regular member? Besides, when that rule came out, it was against the rule which said something like "respect others beliefs and culture etc etc." I guess they removed that eventually...

If you want to break imaginary rules, however, you can start by posting rude images or words in your signatures and avatars, as there is no rule against it It's one of the things I've noticed that Habbox haven't jotted down.

Probably one of the most sensible posts I've seen tonight, +Rep.

They would have to remove the rule about beliefs and cultures to enforce this rule, as not being able to talk in your own language on an online forum would be disrespectful.

I don't believe a member of the management has given a proper reason for that rule, because I can't think of a reason "/

I'll start off by saying that its nearly 1 so I skipped from page 7 to 11.

First of all, some of you seriously need to grow up. Not naming names, but why in the name of god do some of you feel the inherent need to argue about something just to find a problem with the current system. Is being content so wrong?

It seems to me that this issue is more about the ideology of it than the actual practicality. We should have the right to speak Welsh, not that we have the need to. The only need I can personally think of to speak a foreign language is for school. Wait...there's a forum specifically for that :eusa_wall

Its completely pointless to hire moderators for the sole purpose of allowing people to speak languages. In all honesty, I see no reason why Welsh would be required for the board to be able to function. I realize its an official language, but as a private operation we have the right to request that you speak in English. I have played online games based in Germany and Austria that require you to speak in English, because its a universal language.

The rule should be changed to this:

A33. Do not post on the forum using a different language unless you post the English translation alongside it.

Yeah I know, people could swear and everything in a foreign language and then not bother to translate it properly, but at least it's a compromise x).

If that rule implementation was really necessary, and someone could prove a real need, I would say add on "deliberately posting a false translation will result in a ban of 7 days or longer." Harsh, yes, but its something that shouldn't be excusable. You wouldn't fake it for any other reason, and there's no reason for you to deliberately mistranslate.

No it is not pointless, I'm pretty sure that most or even all of the Welsh members on this forum can speak/read Welsh and if they are planning on studying it at GCSE or A Level then it would benefit them (In all Welsh Schools it is compulsory for students upto and including year 9 to take part in Welsh lessons), also I have many English friends that would love to be able to speak Welsh.

There is a languages subforum for you to discuss Welsh in classes and even to start up a thread allowing people to learn Welsh.

If I wanted to insult someone that could not speak Welsh I would post it in a language they do understand, and if they did understood Welsh then they would be able too report the post with an accurate translation of it then a Moderator could check it with an online translator.

Actually, the reason the rule was implemented was because people had found a new way to circumvent the moderators, foreign languages. You didn't see it much, but there were some very nasty things thrown around. If anyone remembers that HxHD thread a while back, I think you'll get an idea of what I mean.

nor sure why they dont hire specalised language moderators or dare i ask... are the Managment biased towards english speaking countries

Yes, we are biased towards English speaking countries Is there a problem with that based on the fact that we are a community based in English speaking countries? I don't mean to be confrontational, I simply don't see the point you're trying to make

It seems like the feedback forums have turned in to a place where people find the smallest faults to try and cause arguments.

There are some legitimate topics, but sometimes that is what happens unfortunately.

Why should I join a Welsh forum, this is a British forum I should be allowed to speak my own language which is an Official British Language.
You obviously don't know how to work translators correctly, or your using a rubbish one.

No need to be rude. Why do you have the need to speak it? And also, you don't have that ingrained right, because this is a private establishment. As soon as you enter the forums, you give up some of your rights to a reasonable extent to the regulations of the forum. Sort of like school, where you give up half your rights to free speech when you walk in the door.

I don't believe a member of the management has given a proper reason for that rule, because I can't think of a reason "/

Insults were thrown around, and though nobody remembers them, we were dealing with a large number of people insulting others in obscure languages, where they knew no words beyond primal insults.
