Concerning rule A33

[Royce]

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).

That is a very good idea, that way it would solve a few minor problems. We could talk in another language, but all users can understand because it will have the English next to it, if the user doesn't post the English with it they get infracted.

Good idea Garion, I like it.

They could put a fake translation

Could have language moderators, that speak different languages to check things out.

I think the rule should stay as it is.

Obviously people would abuse it and post loads of rubbish in langauges we dont understand. And would completely waste the time of MOD's to translate everything said to make sure the translation is correct and not faked.

If you can speak english (as obviously you can as you registered, posted and posted this etc) then you dont need to speak welsh, or post in the foreign langauges forum.

I think the rule still applies even if you talk welsh or whatever other official language in the UK mainly because the moderators and admins are all english speakers/readers and it would be far too hard to hire a mod for each language spoken in the uk and it is unnecessary.

Yeah, I know. I identified that problem "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)."

It's not hard to check a translation though, particularly if they put the translation too.

Harder work for th mods when its not needed. They already work extreemly hard. I reported quite a few posts yesterday and lord it took ages so it must be hell for them.

I was a Moderator and Super Moderator for Habbox for just under 7 months. I know how things work, and if a Moderator can't be bothered to copy and paste some text into a translator and then check it against the English translation provided by the poster (which would take about a minute), then the Forum's Moderation is even worse than many people consider it already.

But it is pointless work for them when they could be dealing with rule breaking instead of messing around with translators.

Do you think Moderators spend ALL of their time Moderating or something? Not all of their time on this Forum is work, so adding a little extra work wouldn't effect them hugely.
Think of it this way - once the rule change died down, you would get a maximum of five people a day posting in a foreign language (probably a lot less) on the basis that it takes approximately 2 minutes (and that's a slight extension on time too) to copy and paste text into a translator and then compare it with English, that's an extra ten minutes onto their work load. It's also important to note that with a Moderation team of 18 strong, it seems unlikely that one single Moderator will have to deal with all of the posts in a Foreign language.
When I was a Super Moderator, I would have been happy to check that the English translation of a sentence / paragraph someone posted on the Forum matched the one that came up in a translator.
