Make discord channels for languages other than english

Hey it's probably been under the rub a few times but let me please do it another time.

Allow players to open language related channels on discord (lets say if 10 people ask for it or idk how yet).

Pros:

P1. Makes it easier for non native english people to find help they can understand

P2. Might attract new users on the discord, unable to talk english efficiently, and in the end grow the community

P3. It's wanted/required by a lot of pple. You see all the time pple asking for <insert language> channels or guilds.

P4. No setup required, beside the organization and thinking process.

cons:

C1. moderation

C2. messy

C3. ??spread of activity/community

-- C1. MODERATION --

C1.1. This is one of the 3 main problems i see regarding having new channels of different languages on discord. Having 20 new channels within the discord, with different languages at that will surely make our poor dmods life harder.

C1.2.The catch is we already have that. In game channels can be created by any players to speak on and aren't « actively moderated ». By that i mean that the way to complain about abuse in chat is to go through the forum report system to have the infringement caught and punished there after a random user report.

C1.3. With the arrival of AI, and LLMs it's also getting easier to get the rough meaning of a post without knowing any of the language. We could relie on player based system or/and a few designated «language mods» for a specific channel of content (could be at channel opening).

C1.4. The annoying point is that unlike in game chat, discord msg stay after a day so the hokes in moderation topic is more relevant.

C1.5. Approved language mod could be a prerequisite for the existance of a language channel

-- C2. MESS --

C2.1. We are talking here about adding probably 2L (on general and one support) channels with L being the number of languages.

C2.2. That is a point to be talked about tbh, idk if there is an advance way of selecting only a few channels in a list. It's widely open to suggestions here.

C2.3. On way to do it would be to click on a list of country flags that enables the display of this or that channel with the addition of a language role.

C2.4. -- C2.3. raises a privacy issue u could or not care about since people would sub with their own will on these channels and most discord being public, u could probably trace back to languages a discord profile speaks vase of country of IP and the list of public servers a person belongs on (that is surely gettable somewhere).

-- C3. SPREAD OF ACTIVITY/COMMUNITY --

C3.1. It's debatable or not if you dont test it that people having an interaction media on their language with result in way less activity on the "main" english channels, or could bring more people, crowd brings crowd after all.

C3.2. The internet is cool because u get to interract with people of all over the world without effort, like a big café table where everybody sits and shares what they want. Having multiple separate tables could hinder that sharing experience <3. ?OR NOT: u could go sit at a potughese table to speak with them and brazilians if thats what u wanna do.

C3.3. I could see more chances of people getting « political » between users of indigenous (as in local to a unique country) languages that are linked to countries in conflict irl.

C3.4. A coward yet efficient way of solving C3.3 is to disable said channels.
