What the heck?
Hi guys,
I was a bit shocked to see an email from a WHT moderator about a warning which one of my posts received. Apparently typing in "Feliz Navidad" offended someone? I even typed it under "Merry Christmas" in the Merry Christmas thread.
I understand you do not want whole posts being done in another language, but taking out something as simple as Feliz Navidad is just plain stupid. I think that it is one of the most known Spanish phrases around. So I guess this would also imply that talking about the song "Feliz Navidad" could also get a complaint?
Sometimes people here just seem to amaze me.
Ok my rant is over,
Mike

Thanks for your feedback, Mike. This was already addressed with staff. Sometimes moderators follow reports a little too blindly. Feliz Navidad is understood by most English speaking people. The intent of the rule is to make moderators' jobs easier by not making them know every spoken language. It's not there to stifle normal conversation. Feliz Navidad is used in English, expecially this time of year. And as such follows the spirit of the rule.
