General Chat

I've received a message from GR telling me that I've been reported for an abusive post on the 'Wecome back Welshy' thread. Apparently it will not be reinstated.

All I wrote was 'bye for now' in Welsh! Is it considered to abusive to write in Welsh now? I am lost for words, Welsh or otherwise!

Poin the club
lol
Edit.I should have put JOIN the club even

Fi... how dare you write in a foreign language on this board :)
You should know by now how uneducated some of the members are. It would seem as if the staff are too :)

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! surely thats racist?! I wrote nos da on Daff's thread.....maybe I better go and amend it!

As a welsh graduate, and first language welsh speaker - that post really did say goodbye for now.......maybe its cos you said Rwan not Nawr?!

Absolutely Nothing surprises me on here any more....There is nothing wrong with the Welsh Language....its a very nice Language.. xxx

Is there anything in T and c that says English only ???
Just a thought

Mo - yeah there is - kind of lol


about not posting in a foreign language or summat

looks like there is......however - in the scheme of things - saying bye in welsh was the lesser rule broken over the weekend......

2. The Rules
Please don't communicate anything that is, or could be considered, abusive, vulgar, offensive or threatening – your behaviour must be polite, patient, and not intended to cause (or capable of causing) trouble or offence to other members.

Please don't communicate anything that could be considered obscene or pornographic.

Please don't use discriminatory language or images in your communications.

And, please don’t impersonate anyone.

Be aware that this is a public forum, and that member’s reputations are valuable to them – don’t communicate anything that is, or could be considered to be, defamatory, false, unreliable or misleading about any person, business or thing.

Don't post anything that infringes, or might be considered to infringe, anyone’s copyright, trade mark or other intellectual property rights – it’s easy to take material that belongs to others, but that doesn’t make it right.

Don't communicate material that deviates from the topic of the message board or chat room – start a new topic if you’d like to.

Don't submit the same – or similar – material more than once.

Don't use multiple log-ins.

**Use the English language. **

Don't include an email address, postal address, phone number, the address of any website, or any other personal information about yourself or any other person in material that appears on the service – where your own personal information is concerned, this can be shared, should you wish, once direct contact has been made by another Member. This does not apply to the Records Office board.

Don't disrupt the normal flow of dialogue, cause a screen to scroll faster than other Members can type, or otherwise act in a manner that negatively affects other users' ability to communicate using the service.

edited to say I put the stars in - so its more noticable!

Yep here it is = from 'the rules'


- Use the English language

Wasnt sure,but that could be the reason then

Really! I didn't realise that postings had to be in English. How extraordinary.

Does that mean that the thread where someone used a latin phrase also breaks t & c's.

I think I wrote Nessun Dorma on a thread once...I'm going to have to watch out pmsl.

Ic ne cann wel Englisce sprecan.

my board name is welsh..................does that mean its abusive?

I was gonna ask if that means I'm offensive - but really didn't want ot know the answer!!!! lol!

I wouldn't mind betting that the one's who are whooshing all these threads are sitting in some far off call centre and can't understand English anyway. F.

Did the posts made in Latin also go up the swanny?

***oops sorry didn't realise Jean had already pointed this out lol x

But is not our alphabet based on arabic characters?
