Selective rule enforcement.

I think this was a good topic, derailed a bit but I do know that Chat Avenue is an English speaking only and I see this rule enforced fairly across the board as far as chatting. However there are those that are asked to change user names and or avatar because of being non English yet there are others who are freely welcomed whose users names avatars are foreign. This is really selective enforcement. Can we complain about anyone with a foreign sounding name?
Will this weekend go through and report any of you with foreign sounding commie names.
 
  1. Chat Avenue has different languages for different chat rooms, but some chat rooms enforce English too strictly.

  2. Some users are being harassed or banned for using their native languages or for making mistakes in English.

  3. Disrespectful and discriminatory for non - English speakers, and counterproductive to the purpose of Chat Avenue, which is to provide a friendly and inclusive space for people to chat and have fun.
 
wasn't suggesting it become common place to translate, was just a general comment that when you randomly pick a comment/post made in foreign tongue, you are going to discover that they are actually hiding something.

If you look at the site main page, English is the language that has be used here. (The vast majority of users and staff speak/understand.) Its not intended to be discriminatory, its a practical measure- but users can speak whatever language they want in PM etc. If the staff can't understand the language, they cant moderate it.

Good topic but I think your scope is creeping a bit. I think we all agree that English must be used to chat on this site. But in terms of user names, it’s not about “sounding” foreign. User names must be in English. Maybe I misunderstood your point though. Do you have any specific examples you can cite?
