"If he is not a moderator how the hell did he locked my post???!!!"
... Simple answer is, he didn't; an actual board moderator did, without bothering to post in the thread themselves.

No, I dont know Pavlov, I just read about him. Do you know him, how old are you? Posting something in your native non-English language is stupid. Then spamming forum with all cap titles because you cant stick to the rules is even more stupid.

Because this is a community board and everyone should be able to post on it, not just a select few.
Plus the mods themselves have to be able to understand the posts in order to moderate the forum. ____________________________________ Taggart wants YOU. Join TTi! *waves his hand in your face in the jedi way* |

Why does that make him stupid?
Can you not see the entire site is in english? If everyone started posting threads in their own languages how would mods know whether something posted was against the terms of service or whether someone was being insulting?
English is the language of choice, so use it when on the forums and your thread wont get locked.

I have to say that I am highly uncomfortable with the english only stance. Why not recruit moderator(s) who speak german, italian, slovene, etc. Then when you have one open a forum in that language. Sure it may not be moderated 24/7 but it would be worth it.

Why would it be worth it? It's an unfortunate state of affairs that most of the people who play this game can read English. There is no other language that can be used in it's place. Being English myself I'm embarassed that I can't speak another language and that most europeans speak mine. But that's just the way it is... Use English because 99% of the Eve population speak it.

Why not just set up a non-english channel?

Because it wouldn't cost a penny (an extra forum isn't going to cost anything and the polaris moderators are all volunteers), and maybe it would encourage more people to buy/play the game if their own languages were supported.

I see no reason why there should not be posts in languages other than english. I have noticed a lot of the playerbase is from non english speaking countries, and if they are willing to struggle with an english game menu to play this game, let them post in their native tongue to better express themselves if they want to. It doesn't bother me if I can't understand it.
Choosing moderators who speak multiple languages is a reasonable and feasible concept. So what if the mods miss an opportunity to lock a thread, they will just make up for it on another harmless one they can read.
Slightlymad, I love it, that parody is truly accurate.

Would be fun reading the board.
Most people would understand under 1/3 of the posts if everyone was posting in his main language...
Very long ago, a king wanted to build a tower to try to touch god, they hired so much people from different races, countries and religions to build something as big as Babel tower, that nobody was understanding each other, and finally the building failed.
Learning from history help not repeating the same mistakes.
Apart from this funny bit of history, seriously I would be very pleased with a french speaking board :)

Moderators are volunteers, theres not much picking and choosing going on there. If that mod suddenly stopped playing, they'd have to shut down the board to the mass whining of everyone.
Also, there is still 1 person who still must be able to read all the posts on the board, the leather-and-whip-mod-godess, otherwise known as Pann. ____________________________________ Taggart wants YOU. Join TTi! *waves his hand in your face in the jedi way* |

slightlymad i just loved your post (specialy the photo)
Unfortunatly i cant change the title on the post that says "negotiator is a stupid board moderator" and i appologise to negotiator for that.
but i really want to know who is the "*****" that locks the posts and dont say nothing. Are u afraid of the reaction??? chicken
By the way im going to translate the "native" language post so u can all understand it. it says:
- "I'm wondering if any Portuguese play eve or if im the only one. If u are one please post here"
As u can see pretty harmless and it is really ONLY of interest to portuguese people. As everyone speaks english ingame how the hell do i find my country men??!! (if any).
Ps: for your knowledge the Portuguese is the 5th language spoken in the world (several african countrys, brasil and Portugal) with the total between 250 milions to 300 milion speakers in the world. So if u lock posts without even bothering to see what is in them you are A STUPID POLARIS BOARD MODERATOR! PERIOD! Selling Raven BPC ME20 3M at Yulai 1st Station |

I don't take any credit for that idea at all
It was another guy who posted and did the same (his post got deleted pretty fast :)
I just adopted the idea since I fell out of my chair laughing so hard over it. And now I can't stop using it * -"You know, we play the "good guys" right? We kill pirates, griefers, retards and general subversive elements in the EVE-Community. To the rest, we are friendly and always prepared to help out. Peo |

Normally, this would be deleted. If you have a problem with the forum mod squad you can email us. These boards are english only, I don't know why it wasn't posted why it was locked, and I apologise for that. However this does not give you the right to call the moderator, or moderators of this forum a *****. If you have any problems with this, please email us at [email protected]
