"No one faces ban for not speaking english,i go to spain alot and they not ban me from entering there country and not able to speak spanish."

With all due respect dear "predator" , this is not about a racism matter. The whole thing has also nothing to do with tourism policy or xenophobia. THIS IS A FORUM , NOT A COUNTRY. THIS IS ABOUT FORUM'S POLICY : HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF I STARTED TO USE MY NATIVE LANGUAGE (GREEK LANGUAGE) THAT YOU CERTAINLY CAN NOT UNDERSTAND ? WHY THEN SHOULD I USE ENGLISH INSIDE THE SHOUTBOX OR INSIDE ANY OTHER FORUM'S PUBLIC AREA ? WHY EVERY OTHER MEMBER SHOULD WRITE IN ENGLISH ? WHAT'S THE POINT/PURPOSE OF THE CREATION AND EXISTENCE OF THE NATIONAL SUB-FORUMS ?
In my opinion people who are too selfish or proud enough and , instead of using a Universal and easily understandable language such as English inside Forum's public areas , express themselves in a (or several) foreign language(s) should be warned and , in some cases , be temporarilly banned (1 day? , 2 days ? , 6 - 7 days ? - this is something we can arrange).
Yesterday , member "marco2662" used , at the same time , 3 different languages :
[01:08 AM] marco2662: anybody here can help me
[01:10 AM] marco2662: mi puotete aiutare
[01:10 AM] marco2662: je voudrais un peut de attention silvouplait

The Shoutbox HAS NOTHING TO DO with the National Subforums/Chatrooms. The Shoutbox is accessible to everyone and shoud be used in a clever and understandable way.
I decided to ban him for 7 days , cause I found his behaviour too selfish : not only he shouted in English , Spanish & French , but also he didn't wait for another member's response. He just shouted and left the Forum.
Anyway , Abdul lifted the ban , reminding me that there's no such rule (DO NOT USE FOREIGN LANGUAGES INSIDE THE SHOUTBOX) and suggesting me to give him infraction points instead of banning him.
He's right. I overreacted , but it was spontaneous.
However , I suggest the addition of the above rule , so that we can warn and , in some cases , even temporarilly (just to emphasise and make our point) ban users who keep on using publicly foreign languages (languages that are not easily understandable). In case you do not adopt a rule concerning the Shoutbox , I invite you in a big experiment process : let's start to post (in the Shoutbox) using our native language (all kind of Arabic , Asian , African , European languages etc...). I am sure that won't be fun at all.
