Title: Chinese Newbie section needed
Post by: haightst on November 20, 2013, 03:11:58 PM
I noticed the Chinese section is being heavily botted. Why do they not have to go through the newbie type section like the English speaking users? >>

Newbies can post in any of the Local subforums:

Quote
Newbie Restrictions
You can only post in the Newbie and Local sub-forums till you have made one post and waited 4 hours.

Local subforums are essentially for people who don't speak english, which is what the majority of the forum user's speak. There wouldn't be any point in having Russian speaking users posting in an English speaking newbie section.

"Local" implies regional, not language...do you understand the confusion?  ::)
