I didn't realise this until this post! The rule state:

English only. In the same way it is rude to speak an unknown language in front of a group of guests, the ESA forum is a public space shared by visitors of different cultures. You are welcome to use any language in Private Messages, but please use the one common language, English, on the forum. Non English posts will be locked or deleted.

The girls forum is not public! ESA should be clear on this before banning!

@KB

This is the most ridiculous thing I have heard this year, maybe if you were not so self-involved you would know or maybe try asking other members if they have been banned for using a prohibited language on the site.
And then make a statement on the public forum.

ESA has made it very clear WHY OUR site is an English only site, nowhere in our rules does it say its because of colour. Please try and not play the race card on our forum.

@Veronica Franco
I would suggest that you get your facts straight before speaking for ESA or other advertisers you have no direct personal knowledge of how the forum is administered, what you are posting as fact is pure fabrication from your mind.
It might be hard for you to comprehend that you do not know everything about ESA but that's the reality.
If you would like to know how I administer the forum as it relates to language kindly pick up the phone you have my number, and I will inform you.

When we find anyone, member or advertiser posting in any other languages other than English we will deal with it accordingly.

Also, note we get no joy from diluting our advertiser or member base by banning anyone, its actually a chore and it causes a lot of infuriation for us and the banned party,(unnecessary infuriation)
I would far rather spend my time by assisting you and your fellow advertisers amending your adverts and to offer the best service I can.

This rule is not uncommon nor is it the worst thing in the world that could have happened, the fact that everyone has the opportunity to participate in all threads because we can all understand is good and anyone who disagrees should feel free to not use the forum as a platform of communication.

My 2cents... We as advertisers are paying clients, and I feel some ladies prefer posting in their mother languages because they want to attract a certain "type" of client. My English is terrible and am always more relaxed when a client approach me in Afrikaans. I think it goes both ways...

Clearly Veronica Franco you are being contrary for the sake of being contrary take this as a casing point, instead of fencing with you I could be applying my time to improving this website or assisting an advertiser with a legitimate query.

Id like to politely ask you to stop this constant fault finding, surely at this juncture, you have better things to do with your time.

To make it crystal clear speak English only while using the forum, any part of the forum, any section of the forum or get banned. If my last statement is any way unclear to you in any manner what so ever, please contact me directly telephonically and ill be more than happy to explain it to you in person.

Your comment is noted and for likely the 100th+ time this is an English language forum only. You are most welcome to pm your client in any language you choose, I will say this again, you do not pay to be on the forum you pay for a profile on this website. THE FORUM IS A PRIVILEGE AND A FREE SERVICE.

Eye roll.

Thank you
