It's simple really: the forum is being moderated. The moderators have to be able to understand each post, so that they can do their job. You can't expect the mods to know every language there is, so ( since it's an english forum) you have to post in english, since anything else could be against the rules ( can't tell if you can't understand the language).
Now I agree that they should then do it in ALL posts, but then again you can't expect them to read everything everywhere...

its not that i dont understand it. i want to see a mob explain and not simply quote what u said. and if they feel that only english should be spoken here they should put it in the rules. and do their job properly since there are 100's of threads that have foreign languages in posts, which i cant read but they dont change those.

and where is it said to be an english forum anyway? afaik the adress says .com and not .co.uk

Posting should be done in English. Drunken English is also permitted so long as we can make sense of it without having to use a crack team of ex-KGB code breakers.

Taken from the Code of Conduct , which is a sticky/announcement in every forum :)

Aye I know that exploring NF the best way is to get the feeling and opinion about it … I am just curios if there are still guilds running full group out there in NF like there used to be in the good old emain .. Will take some time before I have all the dust from my cloak but I am sure looking forward to it!

Mylhia .. thnx honey will see you soon ;) (say hi to arie )

I editted your post because (as the CoC says) these forums are english and your posts should also be in english just like the topicstarter (who is dutch aswell as you) did.

I edit the posts my own way and i have been doing it like this since day one. My alternative was to completely delete your post but then you would have asked were your post went. So the only reason i did it like this is for you to see why it was editted.

Reason why we may have missed a few posts is simply because we cannot see everything all the time. We moderate in our own free time and there are simply too many posts made for us to see all of them. So that's why we have the "Report" option.

Furthermore i strongly suggest you write every post in english from now on. If you have troubles translating maybe you can ask a friend? You might find it funny to annoy moderators, we don't find it funny. I have removed all the non english from this thread and i hope i won't bump into anymore non-english again.

/on topic Just try Burp. You can only be the judge yourself :)

Listen... it wasn't Knolan that wrote that, Ziva deleted Knolans (not harmfull and dutch) reply and added the **english please**.

Because Ziva forgot (?) to delete the quote too, that reply now looks like Knolan simply quoted Burps post and added some lame remark about a typo.

Ziva, you should take a good look (visually) to Knolan's first post. It's confusing as hell if one misses the tiny line 'last edited by Ziva'

Yes, now imagine how confusing it must be for foreigners to see all the dutch stuff in here?

And it doesn't matter that it wasn't harmfull, i know it wasn't since i'm dutch myself. However, can you judge for instance Japanese on beeing harmfull or not based on words only? I don't think so.

I think the point is very clear. It's not only the fact that the CoC doesn't allow it, it's also very impolite to make a topic or reply in a language a lot of readers don't understand.

Welcome back, nice to see a hibby comming back instead of leaving. Most of the old guilds are still there, though im sure theres not a single guild that hasnt lost plenty of members recently. Maybe give vng a shout, they might need a decent dr00d like yourself.

With all due respect Ziva, these arguments are crappy in my humble opinion...
Speaking as a user of this forum i can't give a damn not understanding some replies made in foreign languages. I usually never make a reply in my own language myself but i couldn't understand someone being offended by such replies if (on top of that) the poster speaks that language himself.

no offense tho... just my 2 cents.
You might not give a damn about replies made in foreign languages, we do. Imagine what would happen if everyone starts speaking their own language in here? And as for offending or not, that was not at all what this was all about, like Angara said, try reading the whole post before you comment.

However, tell me... how can you judge if a post made in a foreign language is offending or not? You can't, which is exacly my point. It's not the language that is offending, it's the simple fact that whatever was written can't be judged or moderated by people who don't know the language.

And Knolen, like i explained before, i just happen to bump into your post so i moderated it. I do that with all posts i see so it's not something personal. The fact we might miss some stuff is not because we are unfair, it's simply because it's not a paid job so we aren't moderating 24/7. As you can see, Flim moderated it by deleting the posts. That's his way of moderating, different people, different styles :)

Don't see any mods writing anything in a language other than English in those two threads. Look up the word "hypocrite" and try again.

"and you sir!.....you are LATE"

and you clearly dont understand what i tried to say in the post.

didn't expect it to be personal anyway, i just wanted to post a bit more valid link about the subject. the last 2 i posted werent so clear about the language thing.

and ofcourse i understand it not a 24/7 job, hell i couldnt even do it 1 hour a day. thats why I found sadisfaction in just reporting other posts :D. next time i get pissed im just gonna report some posts works like a charm!

Apologies for the Hypocrites btw :(

haha
trust me i read the whole post and my reply remains unchanged...
You can hide yourself behind a CoC but your intervention on Knolan's post is COMPLETELY disproportioned in regard of what was said by him... but hey , you try to do your job correctly and that's what matters afterall, maybe try to be more consequent in the future ???
