Posts are to be made in English!

For the sake of the mods, this one especially, please make all posts in Game Day Threads in English.

Why you may ask? Well, in my case, I'm a unilingual anglophone. Can't speak any other language. Hell, have a hard enough time with my one language. I don't want to have to spend my time asking those posters who speak Russian or Finnish or Swedish or whatever to translate a post just so I can check out whether someone is being cussed out or whether it's a harmless post.

So, for the sake of the mods, please post in English only in the Game Day Threads. If you'd like to post in your native tongue about one of the games, feel free to make your own thread.

Thank you for your time, and hopefully, your cooperation.

Rick Middleton

I totally agree with this request. While I have nothing against the Russian language for example, I just can't understand a word of it.

A related note: it would be nice if people actually tried to spell player names more or less correctly. This is mostly a request for the english speaking community here

Consider it an order more than a request. This is an English language site. Mods may freely delete any posts that are not in English.

Well...Rick Middleton did use the word 'please' in the original message and that made me use the word 'request'. Wasn't this thread about the use of the english language
Anyhow, if you go through my posts, you will see that I have no problems with this rule.

Sounds good, I was joking with my 1st post, I think it's pretty clear as a joke with the wink but if you or rick or any mod wants I'll change it(or if you prefer go ahead and steal a post from me)

is this just for theWJC's board or in General? what about the Montreal Board? a lot of posters there speak French first and English second it would be kinda unfair to make them speak english...on their own board at least.
