The first vote had remained unresolved so I'm putting it up once more, this time offering the vote to acessed by level users instead of just staff members. This is an extremely important thing and I think there should be a detailed policy about it.

Harv had originally said that speaking fluently in another language other than English could be considered spam. While I agree to some extent, I also must bring up even more important things involving the use of another language in chat.

1. No one can understand them.

2. They coud be trolling and we don't even know it.

3. We could be missing policies that they could be breaking.

4. It disrupts chat because why post something you know no one can understand? No one is going to read it and connect.

5. English is a very prominant language in the world and this is in fact, an English speaking community. Many users are from around the world but diligantly keep to speaking English rather than the language of their home country.

I honestly believe that it is fine to use a phrase or two (a sentence) or a quote in another language but if you are going to constantly speak another language, it should be a no-no for these obvious reasons. It's not a racist thing or because we don't welcome other cultures - simply because our staff has to be on alert and watching EVERYONE and if they can't do that because of a language barrier, it's not exactly fair.
