Question about Discussion Topics from people from the same country

[Phsccarvalho]

Okay, I know these discussion threads got banned for being hard to moderate and so on. Since people were speaking in their own language.

But what if people still speak in English?

Like, there would be these threads for people from the same country to talk to. But for this moderation thing, be advised that it is to continue speaking in English.

Would there be any problem with that?

Because for example, in my case, in the Brazil discussion, it was being talked about some Brazilian verses that we could bring to the wiki. And since they were Brazilian verses, practically only Brazilians would know or be interested in x verse.

So it would be a way to call the attention of other users to this x verse, and then create a discussion thread specifically for it.

It should be fine. The rule is only against using non English languages in threads. So if u have any particular discussion thread that is in English, then I guess there should be no issue, since it can be moderated.

I have no personal issue with this and, when discussing the rule against non-English languages, never intended for it to block discussions based on region: as long as it can be moderated without the assistance of shady Google Translate results, then I have no problem with it.

So can I create a thread for this?

Or would it want to go through some thread to be accepted?

I can put in the title in parentheses that have to be spoken in English.

Can that rule ever be changed or amended if there are moderators available to moderate such non english discussion threads who are proficient in the respective languages?

Dude, that would practically not be possible. Find moderators who speak every foreign language.

It is better to continue being spoken English.

I didn't mean that at all, lol. But I guess that's what it seemed like according to how I worded it.

I meant to say if we had sufficient number of staff say 2 or 3 moderators who speak the language say Spanish, then can we be permitted to have discussions in Spanish in a thread.
Also said moderators would volunteer to moderate that thread.

I find it unlikely that our mod team would ever be well enough equipped with speakers of other languages to allow such a thing, but I suppose if we all suddenly learned Russian, we would probably be able to allow Russian-spoken discussion. I don't see a point in pursuing that sort of rule change, though.

Would there be any problem with that?

No, as far as someone has also mentioned this, it's fine (if I am allowed to speak here since I created the rule and discussion regarding this)

Brazilian Gang 2.0v Discussion Thread (Write only in English, not in Portuguese)

Hello Brazilians and others. Context for this new Thread Well, the old thread discussion has been closed. The reason is that it would be difficult to moderate because there are several threads like this speaking in their own language. So I'm creating version 2.0 of this thread. Warning...

vsbattles.com

Is this good?

 

[ImmortalDread]

Yes, those are allowed.

If that's good for you too, I think this can be closed then.
