... Since we cannot have CSR around 24/7, it's very good we have several players who watch over it and try to calm down the discussion when necessary. Ryzom is no large city where you call police if the neighbor next house has a loud party at 2 am. It's a small village where you go and and talk to him.
There are other times, when there is some friedly short conversation and someone jumps in with a 'stick to Q&A' or similar message. Or when someone asks for some fellow spanish or russian speaking players (at least in spanish i can guess what it is about if there is some 'espanol' in first question). Most of the time someone will jump in on that too, reminding everyone to stick to english in uni. That's what i actually dislike. We did open Arispotle to those players (meaning noone complained when the plan came up) and we should at least make them feel welcome here now. Doesn't mean to allow lengthy discussion in non-english languages but allowing them to ask for fellow players in their native language. If we don't there is no point in these two new translations.
So... in short: I like people looking after uni chat and trying to calm heated discussions down. But please let everyone at least make a few statements, be it english, spanish or russian. This actually helps new players to get the impression of a living community and feel welcome. ...
Very well said -- This is pretty much the exact reasoning behind the current policy.
For completeness: Everybody has the right to (politely) point out that somebody is breaking the rules. In fact -- we expect you to! Saying that you will only listen to a CSR when you are breaking the rules is nothing more than misguided.
