However, I saw you also made another thread in your local board, and you only translate a few first lines of the thread into Filipino language; the rest part (most of the thread) has not been translated.
I doubt that you likely violate forum rule. This one: Quote 12. No duplicate posting in multiple boards (except for re-posting it in the local language boards if it's translated). So, to avoid this, I suggest you to do something:- Leaving a note that it has been under-translation - Lock your topic in local board. - Translate all contents into your local language - Unlock it only when you finish your translation. You have been very close to your next rank, so please be careful.

Sometimes, we started with good purposes for forum members (locals in your case), but sometimes it turns into bad one (unexpected, unknown forum rule violations). I have seen some Legendary accounts get banned due to their past unintentionally mistakes (like Limx Dev), so we should be careful ourselves. Fortunately, Limx Dev unbanned, but I am not sure that we will have luck like this. Even we have chances like Limx Dev, we will obviously have to experience very tough period before our cases solved.
