You're comparing a neighborhood established over the years compromised by chinese immigrants who found out more chinese immigrants lived there so they could bring their customs over and don't lose their identity (which then ended up in the creation of chinese gangs and mini-triads), a neighborhood so big the government can't exactly control and has no reason or really a way to make disperse, a neighborhood so vital to New York that if they were to finally make everyone scatter New York would be losing part of its identity to a forum section so you can speak your own language and ultimately metagame friendship with other people who speak the same language. I reiterate, this is an English speaking server, you speak English. Edited December 3, 2020 by Sim forgot to close ) 1 Link to comment
Guest Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 As 99% of the comments I'm also going to say this is an English speaking server, you speak English. I don't know what's the need of having a subforum for foreigners, sounds just unnecessary and requires lots of moderation. I'm a foreigner, English isn't my mother language but I still can find people of the same origin as myself without having the need for a subforum. In addition to that, you get to develop your English so it's kinda beneficial to speak English and just stick to it when you're on here. Link to comment
Koko Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Those forums used to exist, unless I'm misremembering (even with their own moderators). I distinctly remember the Spanish subforum because I'm spanish. They don't anymore, and to be fair there's no real need for them because the server is an English-speaking community, even if it isn't necessarily made up of EFL people. Link to comment
tomatoz Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) No, this is unnecessary. This server is an English speaking server meaning that most people here are expected to be at least decent with English meaning that they should be able to speak English. Either way, a sub forum would not be necessary at all. If you want to speak your own language, you can do that in other places. This will also bring moderation issue such as the people speaking in the other language are actually breaking the rules but the staff members do not know that language.

orca112 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Aside from the server being an English speaking server, it would be incredible hard to moderate foreign languages and their boards. You would be dependent on individuals able to speak the various languages and rely on them as you cannot check on what has been written in these boards as easily without having to google translate your way through multiple threads and posts if you do not speak said language. Whilst I would like for a small foreign section to find its place around the boards, I have to give in a hot negative on that due to the mentioned issue. Link to comment
Juicy Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 It's an english server why would we need a non English section Link to comment
