Question about languages

[Olajidebt]

I thought this to be the most appropriate place to post this question.

I didn't find it in any of the forum rules, maybe because there wasn't a need for such a rule. BUT is the forum limited to writing only in English or can I write in other languages? I was thinking of creating a club, in the Clubs and Brotherhood section, for Russian talking people, where anyone can write in Cyrilic. Is that against the rules?

Our policy is that posting in english is de rigueur.

So that's a firm no-no... Well ok

Im over here rolling because this tickles my Dad Joke Humorous Bone on so many levels.

A French phrase saying English is required by etiquette standards and in a shaving forum about DE razors that phrase starts with de.

Not laughing about the policy as much as the pun-ability factor, though I can understand the rationale for the rule.

The English language requirement seems fair, as to support other languages would require moderators fluent in speaking them. Many countries have their own shaving forums I believe, where presumably their native tongue is used.

I agree, but I think the policy should be updated to “English is de rigueur, other languages are verboten.”

The ability of moderators to moderate was the reason I assumed that was the policy.

Yeah I did think about the monitoring and moderator part. There are other forums indeed but this one is the largest/best(don't want to offend anyone with the second one), so I thought why not, and that's why I asked, because from what I read there was no explicit sentence in the terms of use or rules that said, English is mandatory. UNLESS it's presumed.

I thought it was a fair question and presented very respectfully!

I am glad to see my "dad" joke get recognized.
And correct- if we cannot read something we can not manage it.
Thanks gents.
