You don't report russians for speaking the 'wrong language'. Last guy who tried that was shipped off to the Drone regions to mine the materials for the next Russian Titan, alone.

They are rude, inconsiderate jerks spewing gibberish in chat that is often hard to read when the converstaion is scrolling by fast. If you don't want to talk to the group take it elsewhere, no matter what language it is.

Since I don't speak russian, I figure they are asking "Can I have a bounty"? So I give them one....or several...to which they often whine....in English all of a sudden...

The Russian makes more sense than some of the English in chat. Just saying.

You probably accidentally joined one of the russian servers.

What happens if your language uses letters as numbers?

That is more algebra :)

X = Y + Z is definitely algebra,

Man, English speakers are pretty sheltered, aren't they?

"HELP! Someone is writing in a language I don't read! How do we stop this!?!"

"Do not touch anything unnecessarily. Beware of pretty girls in dance halls and parks who may be spies, as well as bicycles, revolvers, uniforms, arms, dead horses, and men lying on roads -- they are not there accidentally." -Soviet infantry manual,

Actually I'm pretty sure english used to be the preferred language for every channel. There's no mention of it in the current policies though, and I can't seem to find a mention of it anywhere now, but I recall reading something about this on official sources. The reason being english is the closest thing we have to an universal language, as more people speak it as a second language than there are native speakers.

Xenophobic much?


nothing to do with Xenophobia, if I was on a russian channel and it was full of people speaking english I'd be annoyed


That's what a Xenophobic would say... Cool

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

It has surprized me that I haven't seen a single "pod them from your system's local" response. GD, you can do better, I know.
