    as for Carlos, his signiture was translated and proved not to be offensive to anybody oln the boards so it was allowed. As fot T100 who was banned he was warned not to post in Irish and still refused to comply so he was dealt with.

    Now as for Luther banning T100

    this was the warning given

    I have highlighted the relevant part code or foreign language

    T100 did not post in code or in a foreign language he posted in Irish and he was never warned not to post in Irish.

    The original warning was for latin and made reference to code or foreign languages after that T100 did not post in Latin, code or foreign language. He was warned again but in that warning Luther used Irish as well so it could hardly be viewed as a warning not to use Irish just a restatement of the original warning regarding latin, codes and foreign languages.
    Now having been addressed in Irish by Luther T100 answered in Irish and was banned.

    Fair enough Irish is our national language etc, but the amount of people who are fluent in it is limited so on a site where not everbody speaks Irish or any other langage itb makes common sense that everybody who posts , posts in English .

    Posting In English means that everybody can understand posts and reply to them

    Break down that rule into its two separate parts...

    1

    We do not allow messages which are written in code or a language which isn’t English.

    2

    If you post in code or a foreign language your post may be edited or deleted. We will ban users who post in code or a foreign language

    Number 1 covers your question. It says anything not in English is not allowed. Irish by definition is not English so the acting Mod was well within his terms of reference.

    I asked where the rule was in the forum rules I presume like me you couldn't find it ???

    And again the post says we do not allow messages which are not in English, However Luthers post is very specific in that he only threatens editing, deleting and banning for those people who use codes or Foreign language.
    So again there is no warning or threat of banning for using the national language and Luther actually uses it himself. At no point is T100 threatened with or warned he will be banned for using Irish the warning is for codes which Irish clearly is not and for Foreign languages which again Irish is clearly NOT.

    If using Irish could incur a ban it should either

    A. be set out in the forum rules which it is not

    B. the user should have been warned which he clearly was not

    T100 should be immediately unbanned and the mods should update the forum rules regarding languages before throwing their weight around.

    Now last time I checked Irsh was not English so Irish cannot be posted
    Seems pretty clear cut to me

    .

    Thats not a rule it does not appear in the forum rules I realise you guys make them up as you go along but you can not claim it as a rule.

    Secondly as I have pointed out the Banning,editing and deleting threat only refers to codes and foreign languages neither of which refer to Irish in this country. At no time is a threat of banning editing or deleting made in regards of the Irish language. In fact the mod in question actually using Irish in replying to T100 so clearly giving the Ok for the use of Irish.

    So presuming the forum rules are Luthers terms of reference and no rule exists there regarding languages and that Luther never gave a warning regarding Irish and used it himself it is clear he acted way outside his terms of reference.

    So people should search the site for where the rules may be hidden and not take the sticky called forum rules and makes not mention of any other rules or where they may be located as the actual rules.

    And it is far from clear cut as luther did not warn about a ban or editing or deletion in relation to the use of Irish and actually used it himself.

    This seems like a warning to me
