    That's sort of sad. I would've hoped that there would've been a better system of dealing with them. For now, it could have been an easy fix like a check-mark on tribe settings that would designate the tribe as non-english and keep it off the front-page. I was just hoping for more support for an international community which reddit falls short with.

      I was about to write something similar but then again, nothing we can do now, right? For now you have to decide. Risk getting downvoted or play by the rules.

        I'm honestly pretty irked about it. If snapzu prides itself on being a friendly community where the downvote is rarely used and the correct answer to non-English content is to downvote, then I don't see much the difference with the time not so long ago Canadians were yelling at us to "speak white".

          Well, they are not doing it because they want to discriminate the people they just don't have the resources now.

            I think the fact that "Not English" is an official reason is dubious. In encourages downvoting which is supposed to be against snapzu's core values.

            If you told people they should just ignore it (it's not like there's that much non-English content anyway), it'd feel more in line with snapzu's values.

            @redalastor -

            I agree.
