The main reason why we do not allow or encourage users to post in other languages is because Fakku is essentially an English-based site and community.
A long time ago, when certain users posted repeatedly in a thread using Filipino (or was it Indonesian? Pardon my poor memory), other members, who had no knowledge of the language, were omitted from the discussion. Furthermore, there are 2 issues which the management is concerned with:
1) It may set a precedent, whereby other users begin to post in their mother tongues or native languages instead of English.
2) There is a small possibility that these foreign languages may be used to flame or insult other users, without the victims being aware of the situation.
Thus, we would urge all users to post in English, not just in the opening post, but all other posts as well.
Thank you for your kind understanding and cooperation.
Clarification accepted. Then you should change the rule to, "do NOT post in any other language other than English." That ought to dismiss all the speculation.
Thanks for the clarification.
