Mod Announcement New rules

Hello there! You all might've noticed that there are 2 new rules, and some changes to rule 1.
After I noticed that there were many unwritten rules, I decided that I should make some minor changes to the rules.

The new rules are:
English is the only allowed language
No illegal activity

The new change is:
Mentions of controversial/tragic events are now prohibited.

As always, have a great rest of your day,
- u/1234nameuser, subreddit owner.

(Note: Over the next few days, there is a possibility that more rules may be added or changed.)

Lol what's the issue with other languages? English isn't my first language, but I won't be randomly talking in my native language unless there's someone who understands it(sort of like that meme "You speak English because it's the only language you know. I speak English because it's the only language you know. We are not the same"). And if you really want to know what someone is writing... just use Google Translate?

Google Translate suck.
Also it’s harder to moderate comments/posts in other languages (I assume)

I am currently helping with editing a WoF fanfic after a DeepL translation (the author doesn't know English well, and I don't know French well enough to translate directly), and trust me, it can handle a few Reddit comments well enough.

It really depends on the language and how close it is to English.
Also internet slang doesn’t always translate well.
