9. Discussions in the main boards must be in english. All other language discussions should be posted in the appropriate Local board.

Please expand on this with a note to the effect that "Automated machine translation, such as using google translate, does not reach the standard required to post in English." or similar. The same can be added for posting in local language boards.

This rule discriminates against those who do not speak english as they are unable to participate in a launch.

My post was deleted - [ANN] [BTA] [BATA] SCRYPT-5 MILIONI di POW-ZERO PREMINE - WWW.BATA.MONEY in the italian section.

It took time that I could otherwise spend on doing something else to create an Announcement only to have it deleted.

Online translation is not the best, but it is better than no translation.

The rule would be fair enough if the Forum had the ability to translate.

I disagree with you, since you are engaging in a business you should consider offering a translation job to users and pay for it. I know here into the forum are some people fluent in both Italian & English that can do the task for an amount of BTC to be determined. Using a free translator to do a business related task just make you & your altcoin look poorly at best, and scammy at worst.
Also in Italian local board only Italian language post are allowed! Wink

First a coin is not a business, if it was, then it would not be decentralised and paying someone to translate it for a forum is a bit rich in my opinion.

I stand by my opinion and I am entitled to do that.

However, automated translation is still not allowed and I highly doubt it would change.

EDIT: Added the new board to the guidelines:

Micro Earnings (child board of Service Announcements) - "Faucets, rotators, web based games, and other services that are primarily based on ads and/or micropayments." That includes a lot of websites that payout either dust or near dust amounts of Bitcoin.
