Different languages

[SpEeD]

Are people allowed to talk in different languages. I don't really like when people do it but one of the admins was and he said it was fine.

Well, i have spoke with the BO and the AO and they said they have no rules about that.

Sorry mate ;)

It usually depends on which admins are online, but for the most part if I'm on I try to avoid it. Too many problems arise, usually involving people speaking in foreign languages and try to insult the admins or use racial slurs as best as they can. For example, the day I got in an argument with two admins about it, at the same time one person that was speaking spanish kept calling people "gringos"

Ya, that and i just think it gets annoying, there are servers for other languages so i dont understand why they dont go there.

Said it once and said it again, First amendment being in play means we would have to remove restrictions on racism and make the people's ability to speak at an unlimited level as well as insult other players as much as possible. It is limited here though, because the point of the servers is to bring people in and let them enjoy a mature environment that doesn't involve being insulted at an abnormal rate that would be if we put them in another pub server.

Amendments dont apply to games bud.

I see language issues being a problem in Prison break but anywhere else but you know as long as it doesn't sound like spam then they can speak whatever language they want.

English is the first language in the world, 99.9% of people who play CS:S can write & speak English, if it's a American server, they should speak English if they want to speak something else like French, then they go to a [FR] server, stands for French speaking.

Well, first of all, you're Canadian, so our bill of rights doesn't apply to you.

Second, I've told you before (because you tried making the same point last time) that we can restrict speech as we see fit in this community, as we can make our own rules here.

Third, while speaking in foreign language may be allowed at the moment, we will not allow someone to spam the server with French/Spanish/Russian/etc as this is a community primarily based in the USA where the official language is English.
