I am sorry if you don't  understand me but I am not English

Cariad7 If a new girl  doesn't  know something is not it her fault

That's why there are rules posted.

But it does happen that one member doesn't know a rule, in that case she simply get a reply saying she can't do that. If she repeats the same mistake even after getting one or more warning then she can be banished for few days (such as asking for challenges on the forum because it is said everywhere it is forbidden)

Interesting.

I dont think world peace is dependant on everyone else speaking english.
I understand you felt annoyed but really, it is quite obviously a FRENCH site.
It is for french speakers.

On my forum I would ask people to speak english if they wanted to talk, as the majority are english speakers.

If I wanted to talk on a french forum I would try and make sure I could talk in their language.
I think english speaking people can be quite arrogant about our language.
Alot of europeans have dual language skills but most english speaking people only speak english.

I dont think it was discrimination, they didnt ask you to go away or to stop playing.
Discrimination would have been more like asking you to go back to your english forum as we dont like english speakers!!!!!

Ella -

I understand how you feel. You went into an unwelcoming territory, and were treated in such a way -- unwelcomingly. But there are a variety of components that factor into this. It's not time to shout "DISCRIMINATION!"  "DISCRIMINATION!"  "DISCRIMINATION!" , because I truly don't believe it was discrimination, as do others here.

Consider this - you are communicating with people who speak a different native language from yours. It is quite possible that you simply just don't understand each other well.  For example, in my high school German class, I meant to say "Pass it, please" to the person receiving exams beside me. What I actually said translated into "Large Eskimo" which was definitely not my intention (at least I don't think so anyway) and you could be in a large Eskimo situation yourself. Perhaps the language barrier is what was making communication difficult. They couldn't quite understand you, you couldn't quite understand them, and maybe some things were phrased improperly.

There is a good chance that since they don't know the language well, they don't realize how they came across, or perhaps they misinterpreted you. It is also somewhat customary when crossing a language boundary, to have a general idea of the language spoken in the area you are going to. I brushed up on my French before I went over to Ma Bimbo, and no one was rude over there. If there were misunderstandings, I simply told people I was only learning and they were accepting of it, the same way Miss Bimbo girls treat those who are learning English over here.

Your case is simply a case of messy miscommunication. You were not victimized, and I do not feel sympathy for you. You were just in a case where people weren't communicating collaboratively in a successful way because neither party had the proper tools.

That being said, stop being dramatic, please. Oh my god.

Talk about digging an old thread up.

This happened to me when i posted on there forums. It made me blink but i accepted there rules as i respect the sites rules. No problem!!

Thanks for all the French playing here... 
Sorry but it's shocking to say such a thing, because you are offending many people you've never met...

in a way but i feel its alright, i am partially french

I had a similar experience with ma bimbo.  I tried to start an english chat forum, an got shut down the next day.  I don't see anything wrong with and english forum chat thread.  Isn't english the international language?  Well  I just keep my mouth shut, and stay off the rude, french forum, and no longer spend my real money there.  It's really is their loss.......

The rule is simple.. You speak the language that it says on the forum rules. In the french site it says French only, so that simply means french only. Here it is Englihs only so it means only english and not any other language no matter how much people complain.

As you said: English is an international language, but Ma bimbo is a french site made for the french people and was like that for a long time.

Nowadays they have english only here due to the fact that it is easier for the Mods and Admins to monitor what people are saying. If you want to have chats in your own language on this site, then you use the PM's and send each other private messages.. Easy, simple and every one gets happy.

Again  I must say, what is so wrong with an english forum thread?  Isn't the world wide web, ment to be world wide?  Sure  I understand  the French idea, but as I recall in history, America didn't say during WW2 that we wouldn't help the french, because they didn't speak english.
The French Admins. should be ashamed of their discrimination.  Hey why don't you just invite more Muslims in, to burn more automobiles in your city, because they think the French aren't giving them enough, because, they are there.  I suppose the world hasn't grown up enough to stop the clickish behavior of 'I'm better than you, because I speak french.'
It is also a very bad money making policy.

Geo politics at it's worst.  Ok Ok  I got the point, weeks ago.  I'll just play my 'Bimbo', and leave the sillyness to the click that rules.  I found it funny that after ten years since highschool, most of the popular cheerleaders, are all fat and divorced, and on welfair.  At least they had a good run of luck for a few years, and their attitude placed them right where they should be.  OK  MaBimbo is doing well.  and I site owners are dong OK to, today.  However with this sort of attitude,  they will never be a site like Google.com
Zenophobic at the max.
  Yeah, even my(real) visit to France went just as bad as a mear visit, to a French Ma Bimbo
Being an American isn't what it once ment.
Have no fear,  I'll keep my money to myself from now on..... For both sites.   They will have to do something to earn me back into the paying fold.  I also am a member of the media, and write often of such things. "the pen is mighter than the sword"  Admins got the sword,  I got the money, and a voice.  I find it funny that  I support this website, just not the silly ego of the admins.  I'm not to sure of what side to jump to. All I can say so far is, "Great idea, bad policy."
   I have also been in the admin's shoes, with a world wide gaming site, with a forum.  English is the common world wide voice of commerce.  I found with my website, the everyone seemed to sort themselves out, to where they were comfotable.  To say something is not allowed is just limiting your site to cave man days, of clubs, and being draged to a cave.  Ma Bimbo is just shutting out so many, that could colour the 'Bimbo' world, and make it so interesting, with ideas.  Please look behond your own backyard of influence, and think about the 3 billion+ women in the world.
