There isn't a single rule in the forum stating that threads cannot be in a language other than English, and this thread of mine has legitimate discussion value. Yet it was locked because it was in a language other than English.

I request that this be fixed immediately.

And I also request that any future threads of mine in Arabic with discussion value not be locked unless a new rule is drafted stating that threads cannot be in any language other than English.

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.

But there are no rules stating that I cannot use Arabic for my threads, therefore they should not be locked as they do not violate any regulations.

A simple google translate would suggest your thread was nothing more than copy pasta, which has no discussion value, argue semantics as you wish but posting in a different language to circumvent the rules does not make it any less rule breaking.

I am not referring to that thread. I am referring to the one that I linked. I don't care if that copypasta thread remains locked. But I just want my other thread to be unlocked. The thread that you referred to was rulebreaking and did deserve to be locked. But my other one was not.

Sure, however you have to change the OP to English within 5-10 mins, people don't want to google translate to have a discussion, nor should they have to.

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

I.... guess so.

But I still don't see how having my threads in Arabic should be discouraged. 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.

Unlocked, and as on any other forum or any other site in which English is the main language it is expected that English is spoken, native speakers of other languages know this and will do so, even if they butcher their sentences in the process, the only exception being in which an insulated conversation begins to turn into another language.

Expectations aren't requirements though. 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.

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

Then the rules are arbitrary and misleading.

That rule is so arbitrary, Cheat could just disallow posting on the entire forum at any time if he wanted to. But does that make it a smart thing to do? Neither is disallowing posts in foreign languages.

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.

And the threads Yu plugged into Google translate returned as memeshit that would've been locked anyway.
Not a great basis for any sort of argument.

That's like going to a non-English speaking country and crying "DISCRIMINATION!" because nobody speaks English.
