My comments were deleted twice for non-english-language.
Is this barely legal?
Got screenshots as proof if needed.

You can find the comments rules in here: http://armorgames.com/page/Commenting-Rules
Hope that helps.

Rule #1 - This is an English website, so all comments must be written in English. Any game comments written in a language other than English may be removed without notice. Non-English messages may be left on user profiles only after you determine that the recipient of your message can communicate in that other language. Writing messages in an alternate language to bypass our profanity filters or will be dealt with swiftly and harshly.

I'm not sure why English use hasn't been added to the list of rules yet, but it is a must. You are able to speak with users in another language if you both communicate it, but in public comments like in flash games and the forums, you have to post in English.

Rule 5a means what you do on the site is under jurisdiction of [Country Here], US, and UN law. What this means is that what you do has to abide by your country's laws, then it has to abide by the US's laws, since ArmorGames is headquartered there.

We're not necessarily forbidding other languages from being spoken here, just limiting where it can be spoken.

I can confirm Rule #1. Please post in English when posting in public sections of the website. :]

Here is the link to the rule:

The rule you are quoting is basically saying that you cannot use this website for illegal activities such as; selling drugs, defaming someone (libel), distributing viruses and other malware, and other illegal activities. Also, the rule is saying you must abide by U.S.A. laws and the laws of the country you reside in.

Gotcha then. I don't think US aren't concerned by expression's liberty and human rights basics, as we both were the very first countries to sign it.

There is the only reason this isn't mentionned.

Some dozen people were killed recently in my country because they trusted in it, have to mention that to explain how i feel at the moment.

But nvm, just said what i have to say.
I wont make more bruise for a few comments.

@syanure Here is the reality, if we can't understand what your saying - we don't know if your breaking site rules. You could be offering to sell drugs, adult services, or harassing other users (who are often as young as 13) and we'd not know. This is the main reason for us sticking to English on the site.

As far as human rights, it's a private website. You agree to the commenting rules when you post here.
