    Default This is outrageous!

    I've just recieved another infraction regarding your bloody English slag. May you be all consumed by Esperanto and NewSpeak. May English be forgotten and erased from the dictionary and Shakespeare translated into Sansktrit and French.

    In Romanian and Latin "cum" is a decent word. In Latin its a decent word. Only in your foul English language this is a profane word.

    On Romanian forums we too encounter simmilar problems with multiligual problems.

    Pula -> Bosnian town, African currency/word for Phallus in Romanian

    I as a mod don't censor Pula when it is used to describe the town or the currency. I only censor when it's in an offensive context. The Yahoo morons even censor Magna Cum Laude because your dumb "lingua franca" has it as a profanity.


    This is not an English forum, this in an International Forum and international languages should recieve the same privilages as English proper since its a multicultural forum.

    I'll say it in defiance of all. You may joycamptour me till I perish.

    "Cum va place? Cum sa facem sa iasa mai bine pentru toti? Cum sa ne intelegem mai bine in limbi distincte, cu interese distincte?"

    Use that damn Google Translator to understand that phrase. Go beyound that word.Stop getting on the hunter-seeker mode anytime and understand the context.You can read a Latin Academic Reward without censoring its middle part, or watch South Park for the moral code.

    Romanian isn't going to change its grammar because your English has one minor word that you can purge of its negative meanings. Its an elementary part of international relationships.

    Org Rules don't apply to phrases written in other languages or dictionary references. They only apply to English proper. You are simply beyond your writepol jurisdiction.Your competence exteds only as far Greenich.You cannot charge me for something legal in my own language just because you lack the basic understanding of that language. You simply don't grasp the laws of that language. Its like applying Civil Procedures to Penal matters.Org moderators simply lack the authority to apply the same rules to foreign languages.

    You never received a warning for using the word "cum".

    NB: Most orgah's (staff included) are well capable of reading normal font size - using tabloid format tends to give your post tabloid credibility.

    You have received an infraction at The Guild.

    Reason: Minor
    -------
    No merit in the thread at all.
    -------

    This infraction is worth 1 point(s).

    Original Post:
    https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?p=2364026
    I just started hating Yahoo!

    It all began with a Yahoo Group I tried to establish related to teaching methods and such.

    In the Title I had "Magna Cum Laude" (Latin) or "Cum Va Place" (Romanian).

    Now that nothingainer joycampsitters censored it because your Gunbortionist English dictionary lists cum as a swareword.

    Cum = how (Romanian), with (Latin)

    Now how the daisy did your Gunbortionist language manage to turn it into a swareword is beyound my comprehension.

    And those Yahoo writepols got the description censored! Because their nothingain speakwrite automaticaly blocks suspicious words.


    Yahoo made me hate the English language and beg for OrgSpeak.
    Signed Banquo.

    Since the "No merit at all" comment is ambiguous I take this as a language warning despite the fact that I specifically stated the purpose and used the word in an aprropriate context where the foul meaning was neutralised.
    I complained about mindless word censorship in Yahoo Groups descriptions complaining about the said procedures and its fundamental flaws.

    It has merit since it questions the relations between languages.

    I agree this is hate content but its hate content not directed at Englishmen or England or America (it relates to "it" not "he/she". It was directed at a language which got my language censored.

    Apparently we again have a language issue here

    "No merit in the thread at all."

    has nothing to do with language. It simply means that the opening post was a pure rant and not anything a reasonable discussion could be based on (aka spam ... of the hostile kind).

    The administrative note on the warning is "Disruptive thread." The warning has nothing to do with the language you used, it is due to the nature of the thread itself. Feel free to protest that aspect of the warning all you want, but please be aware that your use of the word "cum" never had anything to do with the warning. In the future, you might find it useful to clarify such a situation before ranting about it in the Watchtower.

    Cool store, bro! I want some ham.
    No ham, pepsi.
    They make deli slices of frozen pepsi now? Awesome!
    You also need to purchase a small freezer for storage of your pepsi.
    It runs on batteries. You'll need a few.
    Uhh, I guess I won't have pepsi then. Do you have change for a twenty?

    Just like...nevermind.


    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.
