Good rule, but I don't remember seeing nything but english on NG...

if it was racism he's say no mexicans allowed on the forum

instead he's asking that mexicans type in english

not racism... rather.... comedy

so stfu

For a second I thought you were going to ban anyone with horrible grammar.
Please do that.

If you walk into a McDonalds in the USA and order in French, Russian, Chinese, etc, they person behind the counter will stare blankly at you, or say "Can you please order in English, I don't understand what you want."

The same applies here, most of us only speak English, so if you speak in another language we can't do our job of making sure you are following our rules.

You forgot to put in your "omfg i was jking omgomg Wadeplzdon'tban".

Well guess it's ok,but if all the speakers know the language?

Yeah, I've seen this problem in other places too, like in some flashes that are in other languages, some people reviewed it in that specific language, which made it hard to tell what they were saying. What should we do about reviews like that, Wade? Does that also break the rules?

Isn't that kinda rasict? You might aswell say only white people are alloud to post and anyone who isn't white is only aloud "lurk"

Ok, very unnecessary.

Did you read wade's post? He isnt looking for a translator.

JK. Yeah, I think that's a good rule. I mean I never really saw anyone talking in a foreign language, except maybe in some of the hate PMs i get.

No me gusta hablo espanol.
Yo tengo un D en espanol Classe.

No not really, this is just so moderators can tell what the fuck people are saying.

How is it racist?

that post made me laugh real hard, those guys are a bit screwed really.

still, good call on the only english rule, you never know what they might be saying in a foreign language. (although they are probably making fun of you)

oy de me. Pobresito.

OK, I think I should really stop now.

Because all people who speak the English, are white.

Cmon! Just use the language you usually use.

Right, because black people and hispanics dont speak english. Hey, you don't see me going on foreign sites and expecting them to understand english do you?

Oh I forgot:
Da' de ce nu ne lasati sa vorbim in limba noastra, nu e corect!E jalnic.
TRANSLATION(does this make it ok?):Well why don't you let us speak in our language,it's not fair.It's lame.
man I'm gonna get baned

Actually I take that back, I suppose there could be Different language speakers crews (I couldn't think of an intelligent way to say that but you get what I mean)

don't you?

Well thank god that the site will now be tainted by intolerance and ignorance.
Also, if I cannot speak English, how do you expect for me to read your post?

nstead he's asking that mexicans type in english

Your being stereotypical by assuming that everybody who knows how to write or speak spanish that they are mexican your wrong im not mexican to get that out of the way.

It's not rascist. It's only because most bbs users don't speak other languages. If someone doesn't understand a language that someone's speaking, how do they know what they're saying?

I don't think I really like this rule. I don't even speak other languages.

It just seems wrong.

Why do people just assume Wade is being racist? He has reasons, you know. He has reasons for everything. You don't see...the mods, locking a topic for no reason. It's not racist at all, almost everyone understands english, if they don't, they shouldn't be on the website, should they??

if most of the people on here speak french in the future. does that mean that we wouldn't be allowed to speak english anymore?

On the other hand, if you walk into a Southern Californian McDonalds and order in Spanish, you will recieve your meal promptly and spit free. :\

Analagy understood, though.

Men varför får vi inte tala hur vi vill?

Translated: But why cant we talk how we want?

..sorry just joking around..wont happen again =)

why does everyone assume that not being allowed to talk in your native tounge (foreign) is racist?

its not like your asked to come here by wade, tom, or anyone else here, if you dont like it, THEN PISS THE FUCK OFF!!!! and thats putting it mildley if you must know.

Yeah, because the owners of this site will also learn french just for that reason. No, we WOULD still be able to talk English.

Obviously, make exceptions for those people in C+C who have country-based clubs.
