These threads are near pointless due to his use of foreign language. It's spammish.

I wouldn't use the term 'foreign language', NS is used by many nationalities over the world, English isn't the designated NationStates language.

Non-English threads aren't really spam, it still depends on the content, though on the first one, he asked 'what I say?', it obviously has nothing to do with RolePlay and is certainly in the wrong place.

The second one, I have noooooo idea what was said...so no comment.

By "foreign language" I meant the use of language not intended for genuine RPing. Non-English in a thread is fine as long as it has a point and isn't done just for the sake of translation, these threads in my opinion are spam.

It's not Spammish, it's terrible Latin -- easy to confuse since the one is the root of the other.... ;)

Anyhow, one thread seems MARGINALLY connected to Roleplay, so it's been left. The other, to General.

Yep. The translator I was using wasn't translating stuff right so it came out garbled and didn't make sense when I translated it back.
