Spanish is illeagal on the Gym??!?

I learned today that the only language allowed to be used on the Pokegym is English, and that use of any other language is strictly forbidden? Was anyone else aware of this rule?

As there are many foreign Pokegym members who access the gym I feel this rule is exteamly limiting and not verry inclusive of the overall pokemon community. I wonder why is this mandated?

Maybe because few, but any of the mods understand English. Also you have to remember if someone who only understands English gets responded to in Spanish it can be something that the person can't understand and that can make for issues.

as stated in the 'gym rules:
Quote:
make all public communication in English
it's the same rule as was used on the wizards of the coast forums when i was a wizo. in order to moderate the forums efficiently, a common language must be used; as the 'gym is a US based board, the language used here is english.
