So I'm realizing a big problem with allow non-englist posts in QOTO.., Me and the other mods ( @arteteco and @Surasanji ) cant moderate it proactively. We have to wait for reports and then still have trouble.

It hasnt been a problem yet but worries me.

@freemo @arteteco @Surasanji Indian languages, especially Tamil (which I'm seeing a lot in QOTO instance) and Hindi (barely) needs to be checked promptly.

@Karthikdeva @freemo @arteteco @Surasanji We will need to have people willing to offer the help and monitor them, or ban non-english posts outright.

Restricting to western script, european languages only is easier, but could be seen as unfairly restrictive.

@design_RG @arteteco @Surasanji it may seem unfair. But I'm okay with whatever @freemo decides. I'm willing to help mods w.r.t Indian languages (Tamil, Hindi, etc)

@Karthikdeva @arteteco @Surasanji @freemo

That's wonderful Karthik! Site really needs help with those.

I am planning to offer my help on the next mod nominations round, when i will have enough time and experience.

@design_RG

For the moment the best way to help is to report non-english posts asap and offer a translation when you do.
