Default Forum and european player

Then the approval of the recent legislation American, I think which would be a good idea for the Forum (that it is of high quality if compared to the European places) where to open some reserved discussions to the European players in other languages.
I would be attractive for the European market, above all for people who have difficulty with English (like me........................).
What do you think about?

It`s not the good idea because a lot of countries would ask for their thread and then you would have like "Poland thread" with 2 people writing on their language.. English is international language..

Whilst the idea has some potential there would be issues. Firstly each forum needs quite a lot of moderating. It is really hard to moderate in a language you dont speak.

Whilst it is true that english is the international language it might be something worth looking into. It would not need to take up much forum space (could be put into subforums etc). I would be surprised if its something that we could successfully incorporate into the site but it probably wouldnt be hard to give it a trial.

I have moved this thread to the suggestions and feedback room. If other people are intersested in this it might be helpful if they said which language they would like.

This is not exclusively a european issue though. There are loads of spanish speakers etc outwith Europe.

i think its something i think could be worth adding
your right in that we english speaking members here couldnt moderate the rooms etc but im sure we would find a good member who can speak english and another language

the british and irish are the worst in terms of learning other languages...other european nations really put us to shame.

im actually for this

take sweden for example.. For a small nation they have really taken the poker world by storm - id be more than happy adding country/language specific rooms as long as they are busy enough.

we need to get some demand for it though for it to be worthwhile
