EDIT: And also of course, I'm far more willing to trust Nigel's judgment than I am to trust AND_ECE's, so it's perfectly possible that the post in question (with the quote) is simply a red herring.
Sounds a little fishy to me..
G'day Torben,
Dont you ever sleep..
Mmmm. Ever been in the Netherlands when the herring fleets come in? Fresh raw herring out of the cart stuffed with raw onion. . .mmm.
Yeah, I saw that too. The quote in the post immediately following it made me question whether the post really was deleted for being non-English, or just because it slagged the forum.
Fairly obviously, it was just for the language - or I would have (just as obviously) deleted the quote as well - but I purposely left it alone.
I'm confused, are you saying that the quote was translated into English?
No, only part of the post was in non-English - which leads even further to the likelyhood that it was abusive.
It was probably mine, nothing abusive there!
Electroncis Lab is a rubbish forum, it's only moderated by a bully who only deletes helpful posts and most of the abusive and spam posts remain in place.somehow German forums are more tolerant concerning language.
You can use any language (Kisuaheli will most likely not be understood). If a forum member understands the post the OP will receive a reply.
Abusive posts do also happen in English and I received a real bad one at electronics-lab the other day. Repeating it here would mean immediate ban, not so at electronics-lab.
Suggestion: If there is a non-English post (question) and somebody answers to it he should post the reply using the foreign language as well as English, so each member understands the problem.
Language problems usually arise from lazyness learning foreign languages. I can speak and write English, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Turkish.

Very impressive, Hans. I only speak English, and with a disgusting American accent, at that. Oh yeah, I do speak one other language...somehow German forums are more tolerant concerning language.

Sadly I think this is the price we have to pay.Hi Hero,
I fully agree with you. However I just suggested that alternative. Non-English posters might feel like banging the door closed and leave them alone in the pouring rain.
BTW. The number of idiots at Electronics lab is increasing rapidly. Idiots should be castrated right after birth to control overpopulation of these species.

Generations of students in the US have learned German, Spanish, etc and execpt for "expanding the mind" it was a lot of wasted time.
