I don't really mind there being non-English spamming/discussions in T&T.

The idea of stating the language in the thread subject is good. That way, people who don't know the language will know it's a thread they probably won't understand, and they can ignore it.

I'm not gonna add a new forum for that... we don't have many non-English posts now, and a new forum would just encourage more...

Blah... there's no guarantee that the moderators who understand a certain language would be online or read the thread. We'd have to rely more on reports...

Nope, no guarantee. But the chance for gettin help (again speakin about help section an not a T&T section)  is better then no chance at all. Ohh yeah we forgot one language.....german.....altho i don't know how many germans or ppl that speak german are represented on this forum.

Yeah, I also thought of german, but I didn't see any german active poster yet . (sad, German would also be great)

I do mind non-translation talk threads that aren't in English. It doesnt follow the forum rules and is unfair on anyone who'd like the join the discussion. I will simply always apply this rule when moderating.

Unless rules are changed.

Please think of the Translation forum, if you always apply that rule in there, it woldn't be fair. j/k

Discussion?? we're talking about spam. This Community would be the same without spam, it's just a way to evade ourselves, not to discuss important things, that's what we do in English.

You know, is nothing to mind about.

That's why i suggested a help section and not a T&T one and with that the advice added that posts should be made in the english section if they can cuz the chance of gettin help there is highest ... Unfair: isn't it unfair to deprive ppl from gettin help simply cuz they cant translate to english?...the most important reason for this forum is to help out, rite?

The forum rules (which you should have read ) state that you're allowed to post in a different language as long as its translated. Sometimes some people on this forum do translations for them and other members. My point is that rule shouldnt leave the Msg Plus! bit of this forum.

Yes, im very well aware of the forumrules! But how are ppl that cant translate get their posts translated (newbies)???? Other forummembers can't edit their posts (unless they are mods i think..anyways i'd hate the idea of ppl having the ability to change my post) to put a translation in an therefor the original posters get warning for posting in another language! Or the post gets deleted so they get no help at all

I don't mind any support stuff like that. Its the general non-Plus! stuff I don't like the idea of.

I asked kindly. I'm still pointing out my opinion, not yours.
