Angeló Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 insulting other members in your native language ?? it's a hypothetical question .. I'd never do that ... but since I speak 2 languages that not many people on Neo speak *Arabic and Lithuanian, besides English of course* I was wondering .... what if a Russian or a Greek person used an insult in his language on the neoboards ?? can TNT detect that ?

Luciana Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Cursing in any language will get you banned/silenced most likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noog Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 It would probably get you banned/silenced, more quickly if the post was reported. TNT isn't as quick to pick up on foreign languages, but the rules are the same regardless of the language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nika Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I recently started a thread about foreign languages on Neopets--I think it's an interesting question. From what I've seen I actually doubt you'd get caught.... but I wouldn't risk it, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornflakes Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 That's interesting though...I've seen quite a few pets named things that mean vulgar swearword stuff in other languages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrtbrk Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 You will get caught. It may take a little longer, but it will happen. About a year ago I created a pet named Dhureon. It was removed, and I was given an official warning, because it contains a curse word in German [which I didn't even know until they told me lol].

Airotia Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 It's something that might take you a while to get caught on, but it will happen eventually. D: Most people on Neopets speak English, but it's only a matter of time until someone knows the word, or even more likely, uses an online translator to figure out what you're typing. And once you get caught, especially if you're typing it on the Neoboards, you will get in just as much trouble for an English curse word, if not more. (I say more because sometimes TNT is very vindictive about people bypassing the word filter). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parry Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I think you would eventually get caught, but it is potentially trickier for languages like Cantonese, where wordplay can be so effective. For example, if 史廖林白蔡 is run through a translator, then it would come up as five seperate surnames (it's a very sensible phrase) , but when you phonetically pronounce it, it literally sounds and translates to "poo (and) wee pour (on) white vegetables". The issue there is that you could so easily abuse it and use phoentic pronounciations to ... well, be rude. Not to mention there's MILLIONS of slang characters and phrases that I don't think will be picked up by translators either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iYoshinho Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Neopets do have international staff and staff that speak multiple languages so either the international staff hunt you down or basic staff but a little longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
