Dear CPO

I understand your will to share with your fellow citizens. Nevertheless, this website is either in french or in english but can not support other language.

I would therefore thank you in advance not to post anymore in other language than those supported.

Posts have been made in other languages many times before without over-moderation of a rule that doesn't even exist in the forum policy or the terms of service.

​Then delete my post right now, it's okay.

Good morning CPO,

I won't delete your message because it does not breach any rule and the point you raised is interesting. This is good that fellow collectors from all over the world can gather here to talk and share about our common passion.

But it won't be possible to build a new section for every languages because there are too many.
But it won't be possible for us to monitor and moderate; we are a too small bunch of volunteers.
But it would make difficult for french or english speakers to find posts understable to them; they could be overwhelmed by posts in so many languages.

I thank the few members who reported the initial post as well as those who reported mine as overpolicing. I hope you all understand the above arguments.

So I fully understand your wish and I somewhere find it extremely interesting, but it is just not possible.... Sorry for that but I hope you understand and accept the arguments.

I wish you a very good day

Sincerly yours,

vp

Well, hi there.. I'm from Indonesia. When I started collecting, I actually started on banknotes - with hyperinflation and sport-related issues as the main focus. Regarding coins, I also collect sport-related issues too.

​EN: I started collecting coins and banknotes since 2018. I started with the ¼ dollar coin from USA (March 2018), that I thought that was 1 piso coin. My phone gave me from my father was reowned to my father in April 28, 2018, and I missed my hobby. Then in next months, the different people gave me change mistake coins. One day, I officially started collecting coins and banknotes since June 23, 2018, eight months before my father gave me a counterfeit phone that was Samsung S10 but similar to Android KitKat.

I bought coins everyday from my daily pocket money of ₱35–₱300 as daily, until the lockdown started in the Philippines in March 15, 2020. My counterfeit phone, I broke because of "unfortunately, the app has stopped", but my father gave me the original Oppo phone. The people helped me to add more coins in my collection from September to October, without going outside. In November, a Hungarian was sending me coins to me the 40 coins that I don't have, and I received last March 26, 2021. My latest buying of coins and banknotes was March 3, 2021, which was my birthday.

I planned to save money for my next buying of coins by May, but lockdown happened again in March 29 (but in Metro Manila and its nearby provinces), because of surge here. I will make a video blog by May 5, 2021 and I will include my coin collection as a content. I wish that lockdown here will end forever because I will go back to my coin buying in the future.

ID: Saya dimulai mengoleksi uang logam dan uang kertas sejak 2018. Saya diawal dengan uang logam ¼ dolar dari Amerika Serikat, bahwa saya berpikir yang itu uang logam 1 piso. Telefon smartphone saya memberi dari ayah saya dulu dimilik lagi oleh ayah saya pada 28 April 2018, dan saya dihilang hobi saya. Pada bulan-bulan depan, orang-orang lain-lain memberi saya uang logam yang salah. Satu hari, saya mulai mengolesi uang logam dan uang kertas dengan keresmian pada 23 Juni 2018, delapan bulan sebelum ayah saya diberi sebuah telepon smartphone palsu yaitu Samsung S10, tetapi itu mirip Android Kitkat.

Saya membeli uang logam setiap hari dari uang kantongan setiap hari saya berharga 35 peso hingga 300 peso sebagai setiap hari, sampai lockdown dimulai di Filipina pada 15 Maret 2020. Saya dirusak telefon smartphone palsu saya karena itu dipesan dengan "Unfortunately, app dihenti", tetapi ayah saya memberi sebuah telefon smartphone Oppo asli. Orang-orang dibantu saya untuk menambah banyak uang logam pada koleksi saya pada bulan September dan Oktober, tanpa keluar dari rumah. Pada November, seorang Hungaria dulu dikirim 40 uang logam yang saya tidak punya, dan saya mendapat pada 26 Maret 2021. Pembelian uang logam dan uang kertas diperbarui saya adalah pada 3 Maret 2021, hari ulang tahun saya.

Saya di-plan menyimpan uang untuk pembelian uang logam di Mai 2021, tetapi lockdown terjadi lagi pada 29 Maret (tetapi di tempat-tempat Metro Manila dan provinsi-provinsi dekatnya) karena sebuah surge. Saya akan membuat video blog saya di 5 Mai 2021 dan saya akan menambah koleksi uang logam saya sebagai konten. Saya berharap bahwa lockdown di sini akan mengakhiri selanjut selamanya karena saya akan kembali ke pembelian uang logam saya di masa depan.

​Since when is this a rule?

What about threads like these, just to name a few?

It's implicitly mentioned in the Forum Policy:
​
"Without having to consider the forum as a literary corner, please do not write in SMS language, and avoid errors in English, which could affect the understanding of messages and the quality of forum."

It says "​error in English". It doesn't say "don't write in other languages than English." Also, with that phrasing they simply say that people witv poor English knowledge or people with dyslexia shouldn't write on the forum, since, and I quote "could affect the understanding of messages and the quality of forum."

What many seem to have misunderstood is that this is not the English side of the forum, this is the international side.

​Or maybe you're the one who misunderstands something? This is the international side with English as the common language. To make this side workable there has to be a common language and only one. If everybody starts to write in his own language, I can guarantee you there will be no "international" side anymore within months.

May I suggest, to avoid any confusion, that from now on, everybody use Dutch.
This is a very nice language, easy to understand by everybody (I know a lot of 2 or 3 yrs. old children,
who are fluently in Dutch)
I guess, this idea, will solve the problem, once and for all....
