there is something in the rules about using foreign languages in signatures and/or titles yet i see many people doing it.

this is really starting to offend me.

If you see something that appears contrary to forum guidelines, please use that handy dandy report button.

Thanks!

I must be goin' blind in my old age. *rubs eyes*

I don't see any foreign languages in folk's sigs. :uhh:

I haven't either...

Examples?

lots of them in user titles

i just wanted clarification

lots of them in user titles
Ah yeah, like yours -
ho ho ho!
Obviously some obscure North Pole language there. :santa2:

lots of them in user titles

i just wanted clarificationIt's hard to clarify that which we can't see.

Please give us an example. Maybe you can expound on "lots of them," with just one clear example?

does ebonix count?

could you give us an example?

lol, maybe it's time to log off for a bit? :crazy:

The one you reported isn't a foreign language :s Did you hit the wrong report button?

And it offends you because?

I get that someone may be slightly askew of the rules but I am willing to bet no one has "I hate LaurenStevens" in Swahili. So chill out a bit.

but I am willing to bet no one has "I hate LaurenStevens" in Swahili

Based on some of the posts Lauren makes, I'm willing to bet the contrary :P

That "it offends me" part was lame.

It offends me that you are offended by foreign languages!

Lauen is correct in that foreign languages isn't allowed.
All publicly displayed messages are limited to the English language. This includes posts, titles, signatures, and any attachments or other forms of public display.
But the title she reported wasn't a foreign language per se.

Kinda like me saying I am a proud ocker :auflag:

What's an ocker? Should i be offended?

What's an ocker? Should i be offended?
You can be offended if you wish. :beer:

Hmm, I am offended by wikipedia :mad:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocker

always be offended by an ocker :D

well, it is the new trend to be offended by christmas trees, religion, television and so forth.

so why cant i be offended by not being able to break the same rules that others do?

if i cant have merry christmas in my user title, then i think the no foreign language thing should be upheld.

if i cant have merry christmas in my user title
:eek: .

DOCTOR! DOCTOR! ONE OF OUR PATIENTS HAS ESCAPED!

Gasp!

We must return her. We must return her.

They're coming to take me away.. ho ho
They're coming to take me away.. ha ha
Ho ho he he ha ha

To the funny farm
Where everything is happy
and everything is white.

Lighten up. This is a forum. People aren't saying Happy Chanukah or anything like that. I believe it's even.

Want to say something? Happy Holidays? Maybe that would work without excluding other religions holidays?

...
if i cant have merry christmas in my user title...Are you sure you're on the right forum?

:roll2: I think she's been bonging the fruit loops hard today. LOL!

So one is to think you had Merry Christmas in your user title....and a mod warned you or you were asked to "remove" it? :confused:

You can be offended if you wish. :beer:

Quite.....

i shouldnt have to exclude my OWN holiday.

why does everyone have to exclude their holidays.

this is so out of hand.

with this @$$backward logic, it would mean that on my birthday, no one can say happy birthday to me because it isnt everyones birthday.

pure insanity!

Maybe I'm wrong here but going by the posts by the mods I don't think so.

Has any mod actually said you can't say it? If the answer is no, why are you posting such things?

If the answer is yes, even still, what is going through your mind?

Lauren are you having a "I hate politically correct" day ?

I think somebody needs a little break from WHT.

I see no reason why you can't say Merry Christmas here, IIRC last year the mods names were changed to different "christmasy" things, like reindeer, etc.

Maybe close your browser, shut down your computer, get some sleep, then go see a movie. WHT is a great place to hang out, but like all good things it's bad in large and extended doses ;).

pure insanity!You're not excluding YOUR holiday by saying Happy Holidays. THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF SAYING HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

When Tucan Sam says Follow your nose, wherever it goes, he does not mean following it down a trail of crushed fruitloops with a straw to your nose.

:roll2:

H*LY CRAP!

:laugh: Whoops! Don't want to offend anyone. :laugh:

... pure insanity!Yes. Something is amiss.

Merry Christmas to all! :)

Merry Christmas to all! :)

Now, where is that report post button....

You still haven't given us an example of a foreign language in a title, nobody has been hauled over the coals for having merry Christmas in their title, so I suggest you report the members who actually have non English in their title.

Closed so as not to further confuse anyone else. :confused:
