Ok mods, I'm really pissed now Options

[Simba]

First of all, you just made me break the number one rule of cB World Language Day. Shame on you guys.

Now,

That is I do not care. We are after a ENGLISH website. I do everything in English, so you have to do it. Thank you.

That was a PM I got from Dee. It was originally in German, but that's the rough English translation.

Ok, since when was it against the rules to use foreign languages? I don't even see it on the Community Guidelines or Terms of Service.

I was warned, allegedly for "spamming in The Lounge." Do you guys honestly think I'm low enough to just randomly spam in The Lounge? Everything was closed and deleted before everything could be explained. Did you guys already forget the rule on deletion we JUST MADE YESTERDAY? ARE YOU DAFT?

If you would've actually read my topics, they were completely legit. My first one, which you mods should've read before you even thought about closing anything, was an explanation of cB World Language Day. My second was about heritage, which even had legit responses (I remember Joanne's specifically), but was deleted anyway.

You guys, this is disappointing. Especially since we just went over this.

Let's think about this realistically. Is this foreign language trend really going to last long enough to justify its own forum? Subforums notably attract many fewer posters than other forums do, so chances are the appeal of a subforum geared towards typing in foreign languages won't outlast its novelty. Whereas being able to post other languages in the VIP lounge should serve as incentive to keep posting, which of course we want you to do. Make new topics, stimulate conversations in other topics, and if you actually have something to contribute you are welcome to bump older topics as well (hard to believe, but there was a time when people would make >200 posts a day). As it is, the VIP lounge has become something of a joke, so really just posting in other languages in there sounds like a much better idea. We just went through a whole ordeal concerning forum reorganization, so I doubt Jusun (lol) would appreciate adding another underused subforum.

When I studied for my Italian final by posting in Italian, I kept most of it to the VIP lounge and it was not an issue. Some people participated too. If foreign languages are too much clutter for the VIP lounge, which is rarely used anymore, it makes no sense to just put it somewhere else.
