According to our admins, this is an ENGLISH server. So some of us Americans are left out in the cold. I speak American, not English.
I am in a large tribe in Tribal Wars. Our entire forum is in English. The only exception is forum that is for other languages. The title of each different thread is the language being spoken within the thread. And that is the only section of the forum where foreign languages are spoken.
In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with there being a section of the town's forum being in another language as long as their primary forum is in English.
And there is nothing wrong with two players exchanging telegrams in another language provided both players understand the language being used.
But here's the kicker that everyone is trying to ignore. Like I said at the beginning, this is an English server. English is the primary language. English is becoming the Universal language for the planet, whether people like it or not. So if you are uncomfortable speaking English and are unwilling to try, then I suggest you go elsewhere.
Now, for the Admin's comments about not being able to understand foreign languages. If the Admins are unwilling to find moderators who understand foreign languages or are unable to utilize translation software, they are unworthy of being moderators. There is a solution for anything if you are willing to look hard enough.
All that being said, my vote was "yes." I am unwilling to punish people who are more comfortable speaking a language other than English. But they must at least have a rudimentary understanding of English to be able to follow game rules.
