P.S. If your going to be complete and utter prats about it (The selected few of the forum don't bother posting.)

I clearly asked you not to reply Jord.

And quiet frankly you only learned them words because a certain someone searched "Welsh insults" on google then he started calling me them, so I translated and one thing lead to another, which resulted in you finding out.

Therefore the rule should be re-written.

It should be, but whether it is or not...looks doubtful to me ! Im sure complications will be brought up, and arguments will break out soon enough. [/pessimism]

Well basically, The problem here is that moderators aren't able to understand what you posted and therefore we can't be sure if it's breaking the forum rules or not. Even though I'm sure you didn't mean any offense by what you posted, If we cannot understand it then we can't be sure so the post has to be removed. As far as Welsh been a language of the United Kingdom goes, The rule states that you are not allow to post in any language other than English unless you are posting in the VIP Sub-Forums or in the Foreign Language forum. Even though you may consider Welsh not to be a foreign language because Wales is a country within the UK, The main point is that Forum (Super) Moderators cannot understand the post you have made and therefore we cannot be sure if it's breaking the forum rules or not.

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.

I understand the problem that there would be, but I do sort of have a solution.

I could supply a list of common Welsh insults to an Admin, which could then be passed onto the moderators and then they would be able to check it with posts that have been reported or if they have any suspicions.

Also, if two people were to be arguing in Welsh the majority of the forum would not be able to understand what it means therefore if it was offensive to many people they would not know what has been posted.

[nvrspk4]

I understand what you mean, and you have a valid point...in technicality.

However, since this isn't a government, sometimes reality prevails over technicality. Although you are right, it is an official UK language, the majority of members cannot speak it. Virtually every member can speak English. You're right, the rule should be reworded, but if you're asking for Welsh to be allowed, sorry, can't happen, no matter how many "common phrases" you supply, there's always an interesting way to make a new one If you need to have an argument with another member without offending others, then use the PM system

[Catzsy]

I agree with Nvrspk4 if the rule still applies which I don't necessarily agree with as Welsh is more obscure than most European languages and even in Wales less than 25% speak it. You might as use Esperanto at least more people know that. Apart from that what would be the point on here? I live in Wales and can speak Welsh but I bet you could count the rest of the members on one hand so very few would understand it.

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).

I agree with that!
