Thanks for the [Tamil] tag. > >> We already added the guidelines to add english translation too. >> It is your responsible to follow the guidelines. >> > > Please reconsider the guideline.

If translation is provided why the stamping > ([Tamil]). http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/pipermail/ilugc/2010-July/058743.html The added guidelines are in the above link. It never talked about the [Tamil] Tag. 1. Have the subject in English 2. Provide a translation of the content in english, if we use any other language in the content. You did not followed any of the above guidelines. >> Please add english translations in your mails. >> We had this in our guidelines already. > Please reconsider as that puts un-necessary burden. Please dont think following guidelines is burden. Avoiding top post carefully, Avoiding SMS Language, Quoting properly, is tough only. But we all follow the guidelines to maintain a good culture in the list.

This argument seems to be made to prevent mailing in Tamil. It is the same logic to discuss in hindi as we are a part of "Indian Linux User Group". We never prevented Tamil mailing. We all welcome that. But, as a major part of the people dont know reading tamil, they have no clue on what you are sending. They need the translation from the OP. We should consider their request. I dont know why you are not considering this request. >> The OP should add english translation. > The guidelines should Insist on [Tamil] OR translation NOT both. > Yes. 1. Have the subject in English 2. Provide a translation of the content in english, if we use any other language in the content. Guidelines insist the English translation only. Not [Tamil] Tag. Not both. > >> Anyone that crosses guidelines regularly will be banned from the list, >> as we ban the people who mails on the requesting to join social >> networking sites. > That is unfair, comparing writing in Tamil to requesting to join social > networking sites :-) Guidelines are to be followed. Not to break intentionally. There should not be any intended violation of guidelines. --- We should know the information from the tamil mails, without searching for a tamil known person to read the mails. Already requested for a solution in http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/pipermail/ilugc/2010-July/058775.html Please give a solution. 1. you are denying deliberately some part of people from getting the information 2. you are breaking the guidelines What shall we do? -- Regards, T.Shrinivasan My experiences with Linux are here http://goinggnu.wordpress.com For Free and Open Source Jobs http://fossjobs.in _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
