^Using auto-translate is a good way to get kicked in a lot of JP groups, and most people who complain about getting kicked probably used it. I agree that you don't actually have to communicate much for a lot of content, so I don't see what the big deal is. At least to the point of checking client language, has there been a lot of people using machine translated Japanese? It's obvious I guess but gets the point across we're not writing a dissertation here. I never use it but my limited Japanese is more than enough when everyone knows the content already, and I haven't encountered people who were bothered about what my native language is yet.

In any case I encounter people who speak English as a second language all the time so I can't relate to that way of thinking at all. It's not a mutual feeling, Tonberry is the unofficial SEA community server and we're a very multicultural and multilingual crowd, you would strain to find exclusion there based on country. Honestly the rest of the world gets along fine so I play the smallest violin at the plight of the JP only crowd.
