Hi there,
I've got a question regarding the rules - especially this one:
I always thought it includes this forum, and in the game profiles (player/town/alliance/fort) as well as public chats (General x).
Now it seems that even town and alliance chats are counted as public, at least two players from our alliance got punished for non-english communication in the latter one.
Besides the question of how poor it is to report alliance members - aren't those chats (as well as town and alliance forums) private areas with limited, selected members?
I personally think it's good manners to use a language that everybody can understand, and I also approve this as a rule for true public areas.
But why should players that struggle with the english language be forced to use it even in an alliance chat where about 90% of the active members speak their native language?
Please put a finer point on that, and if you share my opinion that towns and alliances can make their own rules of lanuage usage in their private areas please instruct your ingame moderators accordingly.
Thanks & best regards,
Bluep

What exactly is referred to as public?§4) Language
The public beta is an international version of The West. While private communications may be written in any language, [highlight]all public texts must be written in English[/highlight] or be accompanied by a correct human translation. Certain idioms and commonly known phrases such as “carpe diem” are exempt. We only provide Support in English, please do not use any other language.
