If someone requests help in French, and another French-speaker replies before a mod does something with the thread, great! I'm glad that person could be helped.
The poster should not have expected a reply though. It would also be nice if there was a translation, but the important thing is that the user was helped.

I agree... though we should only be slightly less strict. Non-English posting should be allowed in Translation and T&T, and T&T threads should have a label like "[spanish]" in front of the subject.
The rules page could be modified... it's not written in stone; it was written in HTML by a stupid guy who calls himself WDZ.

That particular item is more of a guideline than a rule. Mods are not expected to "fix" subjects that aren't descriptive enough. Users just shouldn't use them in the first place.
