Feedback / Wanted to write in Polish, but my posts were deleted.. [5]
Hi Marek,
This site is frequented mostly by Poles living abroad, Poles from Poland who know English (there are millions of them), and foreigners interested in Poland. Since a lot of users here (probably close to half) don't understand Polish at all, we don't allow to write in Polish (unless it's a translation or Polish language explanation).

As far as we know Polish+forums are the English words, so why you think they should have something to do with the Polish language? :) It would be another story if we talked about, for example, "Polskieforum"

Here is a list of the biggest online forums: big-boards.com
I've just done a small experiment. I signed up on the biggest Internet forum - gaiaonline.com. This forum has over 6 million registered members.
I noticed there was a member with the username: kikigirl.
gaiaonline.com/profile/index.php?view=search.ShowSearch&typ e=username&item=kikigirl
I registered without problems as: kikigirl2
gaiaonline.com/profile/index.php?view=search.ShowSearch&typ e=username&item=kikigirl2
If you have time, you may count how many usernames starting from the word: girl to girlX (where X is a numer) there are.
Cheers,

Well, it is impossible to have the SAME usernames. You may try to register as "sparky" again and you'll notice you won't be able to do that.
If you are referring to the fact that it is possible to have Name and Name232 as usernames -- it's how the Internet and the websites for registered users work. It's the world standard (a while ago I registered an emali address with gmail as "myname2" and I hope the guy with myname name will not sue me or google for that...).

No you caused the problem when you allowed people to have the same names.

No don't worry about it I will go get a new handle.....
I think I will make it Sparky 358
Maybe Admin thinks you're the one behind all the Sparky's?

If you are so familiar with web servers you can easily find out what company our website is hosted with and check their public support forums for server moving and upgrade notifications.

For those who don't have time to be a little creative, the first few words taken from the recipe will be fine.
However, the best title is unique and summarizes the content of the message in a few words. It takes a little practice, but in the end it's worth it :).

For instance if I wanted to post a topic and wanted a recipe translated from Polish into
English..What would my title read??

Admin doesn't take personal offense. :) Just trying to make sure the user experience is good. We don't think reading the same topic titles would provide such.
For example:
Translation
Please translate
Translate to English
Translation to Polish
Translation Help
Polish to English
Help translate
Polish translation
are way too general (both for the translator and the reader) and don't describe the topic.
Same here:
Message translation
SMS translation
Text translation
It should be obvious the users can only provide translations of texts between English and Polish, so why repeat that all over again..

I was just checking the Trash Can section and was wondering why some posts that ask for translations are in there? I would think if someone is asking for help with translation
their post would show up in that section instead of in the Trash Can.

That wouldn't be a big problem to implement, but we don't think we'll do it in the near future because we feel it would scare some users off if other users could see they are online at the moment. We tested it and it seems that's how it goes.

A: Admin and moderators have the right to edit the topic title or the posted message. In this case we edited your title from something like "Your thoughts on GG" to "Poles using online chats..." because some if not most posters may not know what "GG" means and your post was referring to all online chats, not only Gadu-Gadu. For more information read the [polishforums.com/privacy-conduct.html] Privacy and Rules section.
