Is this forum an all american wasp thing or what? ](*,) ](*,)

Cause a thread were some guys and me got into a fun discussion in Spanish just got deleted. :grrr: :grrr:
 
As this is a Canadian site, only English or French allowed here.
Therefore you might be calling peoples names in spanish and no one would never know!
 
Really? It got deleted? It was fun talking to you guys in broken-spanish :P

Damn heteros!!! I'm sure they have something to do with it!
 
my guess the reason for deletion was because since your talking in spanish, and not everyone on the board knows spanish, they don't know if your talking about other people on the site or what your saying, and therefore your thread was deleted, thats the only thing I can come up with.

Aah. I was hoping no-one would notice. The thread has disappeared completely off the face of JUB. We noticed the same thing in Mod Towers and we can't trace it anywhere. We're just hoping that it was an error on someone's part and NOT a tech glitch (it causes so much hassle when a tech glitch randomly deletes threads!!).

How strange that only that thread dissappeared completely.

For the record, we did had much fun on that thread and I hope it won´t happen again. I am very disappointed with this forum.

If you all want to make this forum an all English thing then just say so... but do know there are many guys in here whose mother tongue is not English, and we would like to be able to have fun in our own mother tongue. ( Reason for this is that in Spanish cultures we tend to joke and say things which for english speaking people would appear politically incorrect... and we do not want to offend english speaking members, but we also want and demand to have our idiosincracies respected).
 
OK Silly question time again!!

Does that mean if you want to be a mod then you must be from an english speaking background/country??

I forgot that I hadn't answered the question.

I’ll let you into a little secret in a minute, but first, please read what I have to say – and these opinions are MINE as a member, NOT as a moderator.

One of the things that I always find difficult to grasp is how ‘we’ – and many other minority communities - actively pursue equality and inclusivity within society, but then still self-segregate ourselves by having our own community centres, clubs, bars, restaurants, gyms etc. These actions always seem at odds to what we finally want to achieve. Surely we should be out working, playing, helping and living with our local community if we want to achieve inclusivity and finally equality through education. Much ignorance is simply a fear of the unknown, and by segregating ourselves we are placing yet another barrier between us and those from whom we seek acceptance.

(Back to MOD)
JUB is a Canadian based site, and the vast majority of members are from English speaking countries ie, USA, Canada, Australia and the UK. Since English is the main language of these countries, and the second language of most others, it is only reasonable that the forums are in English.

It could be argued that by creating a Spanish thread, you are segregating yourselves from the rest of JUB, and I could say to you that if you want to talk in Spanish then I’m sure there are plenty of Spanish message boards out there.

However, - and this is the little secret – there is a thread on JUB that is totally in French and has been active for the last couple of years, and one in Spanish since last September, so if you still want to start another one in Spanish, start one!

The only thing I will say is that regardless of cultural differences, political correctness etc. the JUB Code of Conduct still applies. If you want it to be more playful than serious, then I suggest you put it in Fun & Games. :D

As for writing in Spanish (or any language other than English) on other threads, I would stay away from that as other members wouldn't know what you were saying and therefore it would add nothing to the discussion - and could be considered to be 'hi-jacking'.

PS. The existing Spanish thread is here. Clearly, there is such a need for a Spanish speaking thread that it died in January this year.....
 
I don't speak a lick of Spanish (though I wouldn't mind licking a spanish....well never mind), but I don't think a thread should be deleted just because the majority can't understand what it's posters are saying. This is the last place that should NOT be discriminating. This forum is for gay--and gay friendly---people from all over the WORLD. If none of the mods know spanish, then offer a mod position to someone who does, so that there are no concerns over what it being posted. I'm familiar with the thread in question, but being I don't know Spanish I did not really follow it. But taking it down for it only being Spanish oriented is censorship.
 
Okay everyone, I'm gonna say this again, for those of you that missed it - "The thread has disappeared completely off the face of JUB. We noticed the same thing in Mod Towers and we can't trace it anywhere. We're just hoping that it was an error on someone's part and NOT a tech glitch"
At the moment it does appear to have been hard deleted in error. It WASN'T deleted because it was Spanish, it WASN'T deleted because it was Spanish orientated, and it WASN'T deleted on purpose!!!

Now if you don't want to believe that, then that's your perogative...
