    The issue is that the moderators and admins are predominately English speaking, so it becomes impossible for us to ensure that the rules are being adhered to if conversations are continued in a foreign language.

    I hardly think it's a good idea recruiting new mods on the basis of their languages alone, for one thing they'd have to start modding up nubs to cover all options. That's a really daft idea.
