We don't need no stinking common language!
AbandonedPlaces is normally a nice, quiet community where people post pictures of derelict and falling apart buildings, which happens to have a large contingent of Russian speaking users. But lately, not so much with the quiet.

This all started with a now deleted post of a picture of the White House, with commentary something along the lines of "I wish this place was abandoned!."

Skyfi_lor makes a reaction post saying that the mods should make new rules not allowing political posts. Faline_eyes immediately responds with I'll second that. however, remember the moderators have been lenient with you too. - "Keep all posts in English.". Skyfi_lor insists he doesn't have time to translate his entries into English, and P.S. I'm dont agree with "Keep all posts in English.". This post actually has a lot of fairly reasonable debate about the English-only rule, and isn't particularly wanky.

The mod makes a post saying that the English-only rule is staying. And cue the wank.

But that's not all! Then Kasmoie makes a post stating that h/s/it is starting a new, open language community. This post cheerfully brings you yet more wank and cat macros.

Just remember, restricting things to English is "chauvenistic and insulting".

Psst, fellow freak! There's also urban_decay. A lot of stuff gets cross-posted, but there's always something different to look at.

And rural_ruin! Not as active as the other two, but still there.

Since I'm, uh, totally a member of all three.
