Title: Reminder: This is an English Language Site
Post by: Andy Battaglia on January 01, 2010, 05:52:48 PM

At times I have to bring up some basic rules that were laid out for me by Lisa and we have to respect her wishes and the expressed wishes of her family. This was directed by Lisa and for good reason. If one does not understand a specific language, it makes it impossible to perform the job of moderator of the site. Anyone could be saying anything. I realize that people are expressing themselves in a language that suits what they are saying, but this is a basic rule of the site and part of the agreement to use this site. All posts must be done in English. The only exceptions can be when a full English translation is provided in the post. Please understand that if this translation is found to not be accurate, the post will be removed.

We must always respect Lisa's wishes and her family does feel strongly about this, so I will have to insist that all posts are done in English or with a full translation in the post.

Thank you.

No worries DJ, this is an international site and other languages have been used many times.  It makes it easier for the administrator and moderators to moderate if we use a common language - and most importantly to respect the founder of the site and her family. 

Please know that you are not the first to write a post in a language other than English.  It helps if people write a translation in their post - if they must use another language so that everyone understands the post.
