    I did an update on the site today that caused a minute of maintenance.

    If you caught it at that time.

    Looks like the security settings are to tight.
    Will have a look at them

  • What's the feeling on language? Nothing in the rules say posting should be in English.

    I was thinking the same thing and had also searched through the rules a couple hours ago to see if we had anything mentioning it. I personally don't mind it not being in English for small comments or one-offs. However, extended conversations should definitely be in English from a moderation and general forum readability standpoint. DMs are always an option too... have a private conversation with someone in Klingon for all I care.

    Taking a note to put this in the rules once I get the wording right.

    This is good. Welcoming someone in their own language or saying greetings seems fine. Needing to run off to translators for each post seems not.

    LES prefers the use of the English language for any open/public interactions and communications between members of the community.

    However, you're free to converse in your native language, or any other languages (including Klingon) privately.

    Added the following text to the rules.

    • Even though we are from different parts of the world, the English language is what brings us together. To make sure that we understand each other, we use English when posting.

    This doesn’t exclude other languages but should be kept to a minimum to include as many community members as possible.

    We will not bite someone's head off for not writing in English, we all make mistakes every now and then. We remind them of this rule and if the reminders are ignored, flag the post(s) and the staff will take care of the situation.

    Thank you!

    @mikho / @Mason
    Might I suggest that where non-English is used, the poster include a (rough) translation. It should be seen as a courtesy to others. This way it becomes inclusive - the whole point of a forum.

    (Maybe I should do that for my username ;) )
