New Rule: English Language Only

[jvnshr]

It makes us appear lame, stupid, provincial and poorly educated.

It doesn't.

Proof: I am a foreigner and I don't see it that way.

Dear members, Kevin announced one of the new rules in this thread, please feel free to go and check all of them here. Let's light up some Mixture 79 in our pipes, celebrate and move on.

Oh, I don't have a signature any more. Was it deleted because it was a Latin phrase? Or am I continuing my pattern of technological illiteracy?

Yes.

I am just curious and not trying to poke the bear but why can people not put whatever they want in their sig as long as it’s not huge in size or offensive? Like a Latin phrase.. why ban that from a signature?

I can understand the posts being made in English as some apparently can’t understand how to use translators.

As usual, one or two people ruin it for the rest.

Just like other recent new rules, this didn't come from something recent, but rather from a while back. I like to think on things for some time before making new rules.

We had people using other languages to make fun of other forum participants in public without them knowing what was said. I also think it's rude in general to speak a different language that not everyone speaks for the purpose of them not knowing what is being said in the conversation.

Unfortunately, it's not possible to ok some instances, and not others. We have to disallow all of it.
