El Arrabalero. Back 2 Basico

Should I consider it as a discriminatory measurement from Bungie.net to anyone that speaks spanish or is bilingual? I recall that a use of specific language is not in the terms and agreements of the forum. What is going on?

You're just attempting to be a prick is all. You know 99% of the people here use English, and you can speak English, yet you decide to just be a pain.

This is a primarily English speaking forum, you have no RIGHT to be here, so what does it matter what the mods do.

Even my dog can say better things than you. Try to be polite, by the way, I from Minnesota and what RIGHT are you talking about, you are not making any sense here. Well, maybe is not possible for you to make sense in the first place.

You're calling him stupid because he doesn't know spanish?

What you're expecting is like expecting people to know everything. Please, just STFU or GTFO as I say, to put it in simple terms.

There was a man from Allentown who fed his son to death.
He calmly watched him gorge himself until his final breath.
And there he stood, surprised and shocked above his tiny frame.
He said: "I bear no blame for this. I only share his name!"

To answer your question, yes you are being blocked because you are speaking Spanish. The mod clearly said that.

What do you mean by better things. No one's blocking you from a forum, you had a thread locked, because English is the primary language here. If you really wanted an answer, you would try remaking the thread in English.

What I mean by RIGHT, is that Bungie can do whatever they want while you're on their site, so don't make threads complaining, when its obvious you came here just to be a pain.

If you don't know what a right is, then you're just an idiot.

Aww, sorry, didn't know I would hurt your feelings.

There is a difference between immaturity and truth, learn it.

If you signed up here less than 48 hours ago and you say you are from Minnesota, then why does your profile say Latinos del Mundo
El Arrabalero.
Nicaragua? I'm not trying to be mean just wondering.

I agree with Pandemic. You just want to be a pain in the -blam!-. You KNOW (like someone said) that about 99% of this forum is in English. You can speak Spanish... okay great! Not here though, buddy. You are very capable of speaking English (I am basing that assumption on the fact that you can type it) so use it.. just like everyone else. You obviously had nothing better to do than ask yourself "Hmmm.. how can be an ass to the world today?"
Also, you have no RIGHT here.. Look at the Bill of Rights on the US Constitution. When you find "Everyone has an equal right to Bungie's online forums" call me.

Dobrze, główny język na bungie.net jest angielski.

The majority of bungie.net doesn't know Spanish.

Okay.. thank you SpartanElite117 for using this thread as an oppurtunity to show off a bunch of words that no-one here probably can read. Okay.. great! You guys can speak another language. I'm happy for you. This forum is MEANT for English and if you can and are capable of English..USE IT.

Nope. I can't be banned - I wrote the code for the site.

]Have you been banned Achronos?

the reason it was locked was because
1) profane words are not filtered in spannish
2) id bet that the mods dont speak spannish so they couldnt do thier job because they dont know what you are saying: if it is relevent, if it is offensive, etc.

"play nice. this is our site, you have no rights."

you can certainly complain in english well enough, why cant you carry on your regular conversation in english too?

Heres why mate, as it seems your speaking English at the momet, and you seems to be qiute fluent, if you have the capablilities to speak English then speak it, as you may see most if not all fourms here on Bungie.net are spelled in English.

Never eat yellow snow, unless of course, you spilled your Mt. Dew!

You aren't guaranteed any kind of freedom of speech rights in using their forums. It is their forum and therefore their rules. People who can only speak Spanish are not coming here to talk about Halo 2. You are coming hear creating unnecessary wasted space.

It isn't discrimination. You see everyone speaking english, why should you speak spanish?

You've had the answer several times from various people.

Why would you even want to speak Spanish when almost nobody else can understand it?

Answer 1. You like the sound of your own voice. Only you actually like the sight of your own type. Whatever.

Answer 2. You are saying something to somebody that you don't want them to be able to read or interpret.

Answer 3. Because you can and they can't and you feel embiggened.

1 And 3 Are spam.

2. Is flaming

What's the point? You don't see me breaking off into Chinese in these forums. Because I don't feel the need to

It's not the language, in your case. It's the off-topic clan/group recruiting request posted in the wrong forum that happens to be in Spanish. "Want ad" posts belong in the Classifieds forum, not the Halo 2 forum. Please read the forum rules before posting in any language.

-- Steve will admit to having locked foreign-language posts in the past, but only because moderating them is difficult and there are language-specific forums elsewhere serving the Halo community.
