Now the record is clear you warned him about Latin he stopped after you said last warning and posted in Irish. You then banned him. Irish is not a Foreign Language in Ireland or in the UK. Hence he was not posting in a foreign language

English Language Only
We do not allow messages which are written in code or a language which isn’t English.
Yes but the ban edit delete element of that rule only refers to foreign languages and codes Irish is neither.

Regardless of how many of his posts were deleted of not, all 4 of my warnings are there to be seen by everybody. What did you think I kept warning him about??? The same post???
Now if you didn't read all of his remaining posts and all of my warnings, or couldn't piece it all together or understand it, then that's your problem..........
I have no problem with you banning T100 for posting in Latin as clearly that is a breach of the rules
However you the rule is not clear it asks for posts only in English which is fine but then there is a full stop and after that it sets out codes and foreign languages and the course of action that may be taken if people post in codes or foreign languages as Irish is the First language of this state and a recognised regional language in the UK under the GFA where this site is based Irish is clearly not a Foreign language so does not fall within the rule that posting in codes or Foreign languages may lead to a post being edited deleted or lead to a ban.
Now you posted a warning about foreign languages after which T100 did not post in Latin again he posted in Irish and you answered him in Irish (partly). As Irish is not a foreign language under the rule only english is allowed but you can only ban him for posting in a foreign language or code which he did not do after he was warned.
Its the Crips and the Bloods all over again
