As I've said this separate foreign language section is a bad idea as it will cause separatism & elitism, my idea was better, 'cause if you so choose to go to your chapter Forum, you'll have a set of Admins/moderators that will control things, and you would be free from the need for translations as there are admins/moderators assigned to that. And I've thought it through loony, separatism & elitism will not happen in this idea of mine, as people who go to their respective chapter forums will sooner or later be encouraged to join the mother forum, as each chapter will enforce the same set of rules & ideals, meaning each chapter will foster RomUlation's ideals of being a friendly accepting communityInfact this could also serve as a stepping stone for others to join the mother forum, first acquaint people on your home turf, then send them off into the bigger community. I've noticed that a big reason people are reluctant to join the forum is the "use of proper English rule". For people who can't write/speak good enough english this rule is scaring them, & with "you know who" burning people for bad english adding to the fear factor..So anyway, if they get well acquainted with their chapter, what's going to stop them from joining the mother chapter, but to encourage people to post more & become an active forum person, why not ease up on proper english rule, let people speak/write as good (meaning understandable) english as they can, but I do agree on not using SMS short hand though as this can help people improve their english competencies

I understand your point but as loony said an unsupervised (by the current admins/moderators) section can be abused, you could be cursing the admins, moderators or any other member with out them knowing, this is an example of what loony says is an abuse of a forum section. And flame wars in foreign languages is also an example, you could have been beating each others' faces in with words & the Admins/moderators are un aware of it

we don't penalise people for bad english, we penalise them for lazy english and/or SMS, leet etc.

But a "certain you know who does", & a lot of people are pissed at him for that, not me though 'cause I like "Snape" to look after my English as it helps me improve

no why would we knock them in there back? and everybody in that thread can say that to the proper mod
Cahos Rahne Veloza
#35
Yes, but only if someone did
bhatoothOP
#36

iceredaph32
#37
then what if I'm the only one with a certain nationality then I would feel left out right
bhatoothOP
#38
kinda but you can always go to other chapter you know how to speak
iceredaph32
#39
but then It would be lonely if only 2 or 3 of you are the only ones talking

Exactly, bhatooth's idea surely will cause elitistism & alienation
