So are we allowed to post english in other forums?  It would be nice if a moderator or admin clarify this for all of us.  Some people say its ok, some people say its not.  I'd rather not risk it until we have some clear confirmation.

I fully agree to Flat 11's idea. I will not risk myself anymore until I have got an official calification of all the confusions mentioned from SIS.

Will appreciate if all the Administrators will give us a clear-cut answer as soon as possible.

as I know, yes. Just do it

It is really hard for a non-Chinese speaker to visit this forum.
You may post a reply/topic by English. of course yes. But you have to understand the rule of where you post your words.
If you can not understand Chinese, how can you use SIS and get useful info.??

english and chinese are two main language in the world,we should support both language as the strong required from non-chinese people around world,i'd say most chinese folks are good educated now,english is coming to every place in china.

yeah,it's ok.it's up to you.but you shoudn't reply with some non-meaningful English words.

In my opinion, it is no problem because I am doing it rightnow.Several days ago, I was deducted out of my forum money because I used some marks and made any errors in Chinese character. I was upset about it so I changed my reply method to English, the major difference is that I answered the questions seriously even in some Chinese forum. The consequence is no deduction again but gain some rewards due to my good performace.

who's that big man making decisions? You need to show out to clarify. I read the rules and the rules say nothing. my logic will be yes, we can.

I have such similar query in mind as well... I don't chinese characters in an extremely slow pace, and it would be nice to express my thanks or whatever in english after reading the threads.
I am hesitant to type english in other parts of this forum because i am afraid my gold coins would be deducted afterwards...

i have the same question as you did. you sloved my problem!
