If you can legitimately create discussion value in Arabic, then you can easily create discussion value in English that everyone will understand, and be able to discuss along side you. Until then they will be locked.

If not, the thread will be re-locked. What say you?

It just promotes discrimination against any future Arab users who could join. In the same way how future German users would be discriminated against if they were not allowed to post in their native language.

And enforcing expectations just leads to discrimination. Forcing users to greatly inconvenience themselves for a slight convenience of the majority isn't right and can lead to dangerous outcomes.

Your posts need to be in English too. Sorry, but that's the way it is as long as I run this place.

Jesus fucking christ just shup up you retard.It's not discriminatory at all. The main language here is English. If you don't speak English, then you shouldn't be here.Nobody should have to translate your shitty threads just so there can be a discussion.
That's like going to a non-English speaking country and crying "DISCRIMINATION!" because nobody speaks English.
I request that all of my threads in Arabic with discussion value be unlocked.
