newbie question *English Only in the Shoutbox?*, page 1




Gary, there are a ton of rules which we dont ask why they are like this, its simply that way.
in other hand, if u like to speak sign with some1, just drop him a private msg and he will replay you the same way, what to elaborate more here? have a nice weekend

I just figured there had to be a specific reason that a rule like that would be in effect. Just curious more than anything. Saw it on a few sites and thought it was odd.


just found this on another site. This explains it, I think:
English Only We would also ask that users use ENGLISH in the shoutbox, to ensure that the shoutbox is moderated fairly. Users who have difficulty speaking english, or prefer another language, may wish to consider creating their own channel on dAmn.

i think it's something clear because English is the language that most of the people in many different countries can speak with but not all of the world can understand ARABIC as an example and ARABIC is my native language so if start typing in Arabic no one except Egyptians or Arabians will understand what i am saying


Hi Gray,
what i will say is far apart from the logical reason but when i enter a site and see in the shout box alot of languages i wont even try to give the shout box a look again....so as willy said English is the most language spoken around the world thats way its the language choosen for the shout box...

This is true and made me think. I see that Arabic is probably one of the other popular languages on the internet, atleast when looking on dance music sites and things. When you look at that language it is incredibly confusing if you dont speak it and it repels me almost. Descrimination is bad but thats why there should be an Arabic, Spanish and/or Dutch tribalmixes

Even as an English speaker, I don't look at the shout box much anyway!

But I've seen on a few sites that have a rule stating that if you speak any language aside from English in the shoutbox, that they will be warned/banned.
Why is this? I asked on another forum and no one ever answered me (maybe they didn't speak English? lol)
Just wondered why, especially a site like THIS that probably attracts a large portion of it's visitors from countries outside the USA and who may or may not speak/type English.
So I just wanted a little clarification on this. I could care less because I can't speak any language but my own and sign language (which doesn't translate well in the Shout Box. I tried speaking Sign but no one heard me).
Thanks!
