Suggestion Language in Advertising Board

[Fargo]

I have constantly found decent OT in the Advertisement board but they're main language for the entire OT is in another language I have no idea about. I was hoping it could be a rule in the advertisement board stating that the poster needs to say what the main language of the OT is. I do know it can be confused as posting the entire thread in any language other than English, breaking rule 7. I was just hoping that this could be implemented..

Seems pointless,
I don't like.
Because English is the main language, but they can make it able to create advertisement THREAD by another language instead of English.

So basically, your suggestion is that we add a mandatory field called "Main Server Language" which would indicate what is the main spoken/written language in the server, is that correct?

 

[Vendeliko]

In the advertising board there is a rule that your thread MUST be in ENGLISH therefore your suggestion is pointless.

 

[Scarlet Ayleid]

if it is what I said, then it isn't
The advertisement thread can be in English, but the server itself might be say Spanish, and that's what he's asking about, at least that's what I think

Oh,well then he can just use google translator to translate the site or whatever for him.

You don't seem to understand, what I think he means is that if the server is Polish it's most likely that 90% of the players speak Polish, therefore the thread creator should state in the title/thread what language which is most spoken in the server, am I right? This seems as a bad suggestion to me if this is what you mean, mainly because there are lots of servers where there are 33% br, 33% pl & 33% swe. But, maybe it could be optional to add what country flag the server has on Otservlist? It would somehow say what nationality the server have, so it might not be such a bad suggestion...

I think he meant that the website is written in another language

 

[Fargo]

Scarlet and Pandarohoo get what I'm saying.. Also I join a "USA server" its typically in Spanish or Polish..

 

[Scarlet Ayleid]

Well, I think that it's something that is doable, I'll bring it up to the higher ups and see what they think

 

[Rambo]

Signed, if the site is in a native language rather than English then most likely 90% of players will be speaking their native language and not English, although the advertising thread is in English.

 

[Vendeliko]

What about instead of having country where the server is hosted in the thread name have what language the server is in?

 

[Scarlet Ayleid]

not good, the country the server is hosted is important so people know if they'll have a good connection or not

 

[Vendeliko]

not good, the country the server is hosted is important so people know if they'll have a good connection or not

wat about having both?

 

[Scarlet Ayleid]

it would make the title too big, we'll just have it be a mandatory info in the thread

Alright thanks Scarlet..
