Pardon my English..

There is a simple reason for not having a section in Russian (or any other language than english). The Admin doesn't speak any Russian. Neither does the moderators. So how do we control the conversation, if it turns into something rasist or illegal?



Well, it depends, are we, as a whole, mature enough not to let the forum degrade into a cesspool of racism and undereducated flaming?

Maybe, maybe not.

In any case, I think anyone is able to start a thread in any language they chose. If you keep reading a thread, aren't you in charge of yourself, of what you read and of what you take seriously... So why do we need a "big brother" moderating?

Big Brother is a terrible term for a moderator.

Personally, even if this is an english section, if you live in finland it is your responsability to learn finnish and every little helps.

Not so sure about the french tho :)

he he heeee...only kidding

Let's take step back here...

Basically the reasons I've heard here so far for not having any other language then English would be that there would be no control over what is said...

Hello people, open your EYES... this is cyberspace... There isn't suposed to be anything that can be called "big brother" here.

Am I the only one in this fading "liberal" country who feels like cyberspace is the last location where there is any freedom left? Where not everything has been cut and sliced to fit into whatever "social order" is dominant at the time?

Ah.. good to get that beginning of a rant out of the way..

u should have continued :P

anyways, cyberspace is far from being free...anyhow i believe Russian section would add a lot to this forum as there is really quite a big number russian speaking people here...also if not understanding what would be said there is a problem, why not add one russian speaking mod into ur crew?
