Default non English forum sections ?

hi all

OK so for a long time now I have tried to make allowances for our non English speaking members - as I dont want to exclude any poker players who are prepared to follow our rules

but this has either led to me trying to be relaxed about post quality by non English members or deleting posts which are too bad which seems a bit unfair on our non English members ...

who in fairness for the most part have maked a terrific effort to post 10+ posts in a language which is not natural to them - thanks to them for making the effort

and to those that I have deleted - sorry it's a tough job and a line has to be drawn somewhere

anyway

a proposal and a question

IF ... I put up two sections (one in poker & one in general chat) marked "Non English Poker" & "Non English General Chat" ...

a) would this help alot of people to be able to post in a few more languages ?

b) of our active members & those who regularly report posts ... do we have anyone who can read the foreign language posts to check for spammy / bonus type posts etc ?

If we have any bi-lingual members if you could PM me that would be great

I'm happy to organise some more forum sections but I need to know that I can monitor them for quality and for spammy promotions stuff efficiently - this would just involve members with the ability to spot problem posts to hit the "report post" icon

cheers scrawnybob
