Before some people start to
@ me and other members, I want to point out that I'm just posting this as a suggestion and asking for people's opinion (since it's about the Forums it's in F&W and not in GCC) about this controverted issue.
Some days ago, Chrono, a forum mod, felt like to spam in his own language: Spanish.
Some of us (Spaniards and Latins) felt engaged by this and kept the thread alive spamming around in Spanish. Chrono, Guido, Choli, Omaaar, me, leito.gt and some others speak Spanish, and they use to like these threads.
Well, this is just an example. (Other languages had formerly its own T&T thread, too)
My suggestion is to allow threads (not single posts) in a foreign language in T&T forums.
Conditions would be:
-Stating the language in English in the thread title.
-Attached trustable translation to English might go in the report comment. (If any post gets enough hard to be reported, although being in T&T
)
I can't think of anything else... It's just that simple.
If you think it would become a mess, let's allow only the most spoken languages: Dutch, Spanish and French (since there are admins, mods and elites who could control abuses) (Well, we could add Esperanto and Interlingua
).
Well, that's my point of view. As said, a rather controverted issue, so please, just don't start blaming anyone for anything
