Did you read the thread? Exposethefrauds Jun 2014 #95
well then why are you commenting on the domestic policies of other countries? CreekDog Jun 2014 #116

This feedback? Capt. Obvious Jun 2014 #99
Here's the problem: How do you jury a post you can't read? Xithras Jun 2014 #64
"in Hindi, and someone alerts on it claiming that it contains inappropriate content" Capt. Obvious Jun 2014 #73
How about this... instead of taking it to a Jury yuiyoshida Jun 2014 #79
That only works if the alerter claims to be alerting over the language itself. Xithras Jun 2014 #98
THATS amazing that you said what I said in a thread here... yuiyoshida Jun 2014 #106

It's not your style, but DU is too big for everyone to know your style muriel_volestrangler Jun 2014 #297
I said it because i believe yuiyoshida Jun 2014 #300
Untranslated sentences that Google Translate can't cope with lend themselves to hypotheticals muriel_volestrangler Jun 2014 #303
Wrong, I was not offered three and a half hours. yuiyoshida Jun 2014 #306
Here's the timing on that thread muriel_volestrangler Jun 2014 #309
so you're saying to post on DU, you need to speak English... CreekDog Jun 2014 #356
It's because the idea of a forum is for people to understand each other muriel_volestrangler Jun 2014 #358
Why would someone alert on something they can't understand? tkmorris Jun 2014 #89
Apparently some demand you have a duty to get the translation done treestar Jun 2014 #222

80% of 13 people doesn't represent the community either. Orrex Jun 2014 #109

Confirmation bias. Orrex Jun 2014 #114
