And yeah, the hiding possibility is really nice idea :) !

That filter stuff may be so complicated, useless imo.

Let people spam in their own language when it's a match between two teams of the same country. In international matches it could be enforced if you think it's a good idea - either way, I couldn't care less seeing as I ignore comments I don't understand.

we should not care

ok, from a quick count i get the following:

15 "let them spam's"
and
4 "make them speak english's"

that means we will not take any direct action against posting in foreign language

i'll keep looking into it and maybe bring a user defined language filter in the future so everyone can decide for himself

Force english!

- It will avoid some spam (not all)

- It will make it easiere for everyone to browse through gtv

- Theres no reason why people should flame/write in other languages. If they want so, they can use IRC etc.

Just because you can't understand it it doesn't mean that it's spam.
Especiall for the polaks its easier to discuss in polish since lots of them lack english skillz...

"Keep English on international matches (clans from different countries, or if one team is multinational), let them speak their language otherwise (eg. Polish in PL vs PL; German in DE vs AT)

Quote by butchjiForeign to what/whom?

he means 'languages other than English'. Do you have to ask?

i'd like to see the class filtering the language :) what about mistypings? what about multilanguage posts? what about server resources (such function would require serious extra memory and cpu)? :)
