This is a very serious post where we as ESA forum administrators would like to hear from the forum users as to how we should address individuals who violate our language policy.
We are all ears to any and all sensible suggestions.
I would like to qualify that we get no joy from banning any party for any reason, all banning does is dilutes our user base which is bad for ESA as a website and our users.
Kind regards
Seeing that I am a newbie here, I read the rules and will obey to ESA management. However my question is how does management want to moderate afrikaans or other language posts if management themselves struggle with the English language?
For example an Afrikaans speaking person must struggle to get his or her message accross in English, one slip of an afrikaans word gets them banned
Secondly a person speaking another language has to struggle even more, not just to get the message accross in english but to understand it too
Now you type qualify instead of clarify?
Goes to show, let the english rule fall, speak english yes I agree but leave the slang words to be used. We are South African's it is how we speak informally. Nothing to do with lack of education
When people get together and chill they don't speak proper english, but everyone understands them

I'm no moderator but there's no science to monitoring posts to ensure that users stick to the English only rule. For all you know, the forum administrator that you quoted actually wanted to "qualify" a statement that she made in her post, not clarify as you suggest.
