888pl and online foreign languages

Postby Nevah play JJ » Tue Apr 27, 2010 2:59 pm

Ok...
Playing 888 tournaments online you expect to get some players that are unable to talk English, I accept that..

Having said that, I have to ask is it fair to expect that players playing 888pl tournaments online should not be permitted to talk in foreign languages?

Sorry if I am asking a questionable question, but I am currently playing on a table where they openly made a few comments in something other than English.

Thanks heaps.

I'm almost 100% sure that it is ENGLISH only at the tables. I would probably print screen if it worries you.
One thing I've done in the past is copy and pasted text into Google, if I have half a clue as to what language it might be.
Check their nationality in the foyer.
Sometimes you can work it out and it may be simple polite chatter, but if you suspect foul play don't hesitate to report it.

Most sites have a "only English at the table rule," I'm not sure about 888's policy.

+1 to old man Swanky - English only at the tables and take a screenshot and we will look into it.

These two were in an 888pl tourney..
Not a standard 888 one.
They did it for a few lines then went back to English.

Maybe I am making an issue out of nothing, it just kinda bugged me was all, they should know better.
