Locations And Languages

[johncross85]

Any chance we could make the 'location' field of the user details compulsory?

This may seem like a strange request but I am sick of seeing people getting flamed for improper use of english. It hardly seems fair having a pop at someone for their use of grammar when they may only speak english as a second or third language.

People should also remember that the tone of a post could well get lost in translation too - something that was meant as flippant ends up sounding angry. Something that was meant as an innocent question ends up sounding like a demand. Cue a million bitchy replies...

I'm sorry if this sounds like *yet another moan about how friendly the community is*, but come on, let's cut Johnny Foreigner a bit of slack eh?

Flaming for improper use of English sucks. I think 20-30 percent of the users here, dont speak English at home

But everybody should at least try to communicate in good English. I come from Holland, but i trie to give my best (English) shot

Good idea actually.

Agree, abeit i know how irritating it is to hear people f%#^up your native language.

For example, in some james bind movie someone in Holland appeart to speak GERMAN :blink:

I think it's a good idea. If it says "Korean" we can hound them to translate ASR!

Moved to "Suggestions".

'Tis a great idea.

Mark, you are from Animal Crossing, shut up! :lol:

Yeah, I was going to mention, maybe 20% of users set their location to something 'amusing' defeating the point of the tag. If you're gonna make it compulsory, make sure it makes sense!

 

[generalnmx]

Maybe we should have a drop-down menu box for the Locations? Of course for all our overseas users we would have to list a LOT of provinces...

Lol, true. I'll change it later.

 

[WhiteFalcon]

Yeah, thats a good idea, though I can imagine my location will be "Other" then

 

[kknd_cf]

Great idea!
