Ross, buddy, that's all fine and dandy, but then please tell me how the moderators are supposed to know what the heck's being posted.
Even if we bring on a Chinese-speaking moderator, there should be more than one moderator who can understand the content of posts.
As threads are started in still more languages, should I bring in more teams of moderators for each language?
If you think it's not important for the admin/moderators to know what's being said, consider for a second that moderators would not generally be able to recognize libel, commercial posts and ads, copyright infringement, racial slurs, or even just generally when a thread is getting out of control or off-topic.
To suggest that we're "excluding" anyone... well, not any more than an Italian-language forum excludes me, and I'm not offended by that.
I respect the opinions of those who disagree, but, then I guess we'll just agree to disagree on this.
Originally posted by TerriblySorry When my kinsfolk - the Welsh - were struggling under the yoke of the English, the kids were all forced to learn English (as a foreign language) at school. These days, the kids mostly speak English as a first language, and getting them to learn Welsh again after all this time is proving to be almost impossible. I will not support a global community that does not at least make the effort to accomodate another's mother tongue. Cymru am baeth. |

Originally posted by Ross Personally, I don't think it hurts anybody if there are some occasional posts in a language other than English. I think we need to exercise tolerance and appreciate diversity - while it still exists. There won't be many of these posts, so why get excited about it? I would rather see a few posts I can't understand than see some people excluded because they can't communicate in English. Ross |
