Default Language Restriction is too general.

Quote:
Rule No. 7 - Language Restrictions
  • Please make all posts in English. This makes moderation easier and also keeps the forums more sociable. Keep any other language to PM's. Repeat offenses will get 1 warning and may be permanently banned.
I got a warning for typing "お誕生日おめでとうございます。", which in English is the formal term of saying "Happy Birthday." in one of the Birthday threads.

I just wanted to say that the language rule is way too general on a forum that handles foreign games. I have seen people type in Spanish and I have seen Korean before but I get a warning for saying something in Japanese and I just feel this is ridiculous. I do understand that people shouldn't speak in another language on a regular basis and I agree with that. But getting a warning just because a mod can't read what I wrote in a pretty spamy thread to begin with is silly.

But eh just curious about everyone's opinion on the rule. ^^ Please share!
