The language filters as they are in place are a very drastic measure to ensure that people from smaller communities can hold a conversation in their native language without being flooded with other languages. It obviously does a lot of collateral damage since most people don't actually visit communities other than the one of their own country and since some percentage of those that do actually speak the language.

However, it is the lesser of two evils. For the game it is better to silence people speaking different languages than to have them scare off players of smaller communities.

Because this kind of filtering is something that's only being done if absolutely necessary, it's only applied on smaller communities. It doesn't currently happen on the bigger ones (yes TR is a big community) because there's simply very little chance that foreign languages take over rooms there. I am not saying that that is a fair approach, but it more or less is the reasoning behind the status quo.

I do really hope that at some point this system becomes more flexible, but I would only support expanding these filters to every community (it would be more fair but probably lead to more complaints) if we would be able to manually make exceptions based on whether someone is fluent in the language required in the community they want to talk in.

I still don't get totally how those filters works, since i can speak in almost all servers but other players can't :-\
Is it related to being part of a small community per se or that the blocked communities are the biggest?

I'm trying to keep a straight face at wannabe mod and no knowledge of things at all, but we cannot get into that. I don't fancy another mute. I can say, though, that Haruhitastic said that she left the discussion "for the day" yesterday (hey you're getting off-topic), and what's more is that she is former CFM staff, and a former Sentinel (Aide?) here on these very forums. Digest that.

But anyway those community mutes will not be lifted no matter how you pick apart the rational discourse presented to you. Maybe you can focus on trying to get certain players passes or something to be able to speak elsewhere. You could use the contact form or the Suggestions subforum at your pleasure. This just feels like it's become snapping at each other.

This isn't an important issue to this community if we are being completely honest.

As you can imagine, that's INCREDIBLY awkward for Japanese speakers, who have possibly one of the smallest communities on A801 right now and want to branch out.
This is what Lemo meant by "scaring people off."

Haruhitastic a dit :

You finally get it?
Okay. Let's graduate to the next part:

Other players will deal with the same feelings if foreigners come to their server and speak. I've been on BR and have spoke with friends there, and I slip English into my Portuguese speaking and I'm called out for it. So imagine if a Romanian player went to TR and began speaking Romanian.

Did you realize it is not only me but also Ifrancesco does not understand the so called "system" of the game?
