The most important rule: all content is to be posted in English 🇬🇧 unless the post is made in the language specific area in the Self Support forum.

[Peter Zehentreiter]

Hello everyone,
I've noticed that lately, more and more posts aren't written in English.

Instead of moving these topics to the correct forums or reminding the author of the general rules, people are even replying in the author’s native language—which is against the rules.

In the Self-Service section, there’s an option to create a post in your native language.

It would be great if the administration could pay special attention to this bad habit.

Thanks in advance.

We cannot moderate this and given the community growth over the past years we feel adjusting the rules is more adequate.
Nothing personal.

Simple, get more moderators on board in stead of cry like a child you can't do nothing about it! The solution is simple enough bit you are too lazy to act to it.
Sorry to put it line this Corjan, but yes you are right, the forum has grown and yes, you are too lazy to do something about it! You cant do it all alone anymore.
So stol crying line a baby and solve this!
Just changing rules won't help a bit!!!

The forum is there to assist many users.
Over many years having English and Dutch crossing each other has rarely been an issue. If we start referring to an old post to enforce something that rarely ever leads to frustration, this is a much more appropriate solution.

Rule no 3, anyone?

No flaming or abusing fellow forum members.

A polite reply would have more effect.

Um, rule no 3, anyone?

Looks like rule No. 3 was implemented.

Well done, Corjan. It's a pain moderating when you have a real job of creating and improving an app/program.

@nomko overstepped the mark in terms of his approach in his wording, I was very surprised to learn that @corjan-meijerink is doing a lot/most/all ???? of the moderating here.

I do have some sympathy with @nomko's view that @corjan-meijerink really needs some moderators here. His focus should really be on product roadmap, development and fixing stuff.

I'd volunteer. but I don't speak Dutch.

Me neither. It would be better if the main forum was in English only, as was the forum rule up until yesterday. Anything that wasn't to be posted in English could go in the, still existing, language specific self help sub forums. If that were the case then it would be easy to have volunteer moderators who moderate their part of the forum in their native language.

Edit: Just to add. In every other forum I'm an active member of, the forum is moderated by one or more "community" members.

[Corjan Meijerink]

We have more moderators!
Silent members serving the community.
I'm not the only one but I just step in when needed so people have a face to dislike

Thanks for your remarks!
