   It's ok if I post in Irish as long as I hide it? How generous.

     @mairin I wonder if this can be considered some sort of prejudice.

     @mike @kev can you shed some light?

     @mmu_man I already did. Multiple times. I am well aware of the intracacies of volunteer run projects, you could try googling me.

     @mairin well, moderators are volunteers, with limited time and experience.

     Could you suggest them fixing the wording as a first step?

     @mairin it's likely due to moderation reasons: how can people moderate posts in a language they don't understand correctly?
     Automatic translation can still introduce errors…
     Maybe it's badly explained by I don't think it's intentional.

     @mmu_man No excuse. If it's an open, volunteer, FOSS oriented community, you simply solicit volunteers in the needed languages. Instead of - in effect - telling an Irish speaker (of ALL languages) to stop speaking Irish and speak the Queen's tongue.
