I'm completely against this (At least now, that no clarification or clear rules for RMB are stated publicly)

It's not like I don't want to see other languages, but in the past there were people spamming 3-4 pages on the RMB with Chinese or Arabic and I had to translate every single message to be sure it was all right.

Considering that these posts got surpressed, I guess my warning as accurate.

Wow this place is really not vibing today.

Read the last few pages lol.

In that case, make some public rules for the RMB, something within the first page of the post. This is the biggest region in the game, and by such we have a lot of traffic of people. And by sheer probability, maybe someone comes looking for someone who knows their language (or that they only know their language). To clear things up and to avoid confussion from those people and to differenciate those from the ones who just want to spam, I'd make that clear, that this is (in that case) an English-Only RMB.

But we do have rules? Territorio di Nessuno links that dispatch almost first thing to newcomers.

True. But it is not against the rules to speak in a foreign language

Oh you're right. Well, it should be simple enough to update that dispatch? Or is "spamming foreign languages" considered to fall under the spam category?

To be fair, though, a lot of the problematic posters are the type to not read the rules regardless.

It is if you don’t provide translation
If something isn’t explicitly mentioned in that dispatch but we GAs say it is or isn’t allowed, more often then not we’re correct on the topic

But Zaz, if we made that a rule, the entire NPA would be evicted.

But so would Aenglaland. Sorry but I struggle to see how that isn't a win win scenario.
