h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

My researcher page has been removed twice now, and I've only just realised why.

I'm assuming it is because the entry included a sentence in Japanese. The sentence meant, "I'm studying Japanese, but I only speak a little."

I did not mean to contravene the house rules, and I am perfectly willing to remove the offending sentence.

I understand that the moderation team is very busy, but I would appreciate a reply to this message if possible.

Thank you for your time.

Hello LokuZ!

Obviously I can't speak from an official position, but yes, I think you'll find that's the reason, and unless all the Moderators suddenly learn to speak Japanese, I think you might keep running into problems like that. It's an unfortunate side effect of translation software being awful, I guess

It's a shame, because it's a beautiful language. Even when you say something as simple as that.
Oh well. I know the rules are here for a very good reason, and I'm perfectly willing to stick by them.

I was just a little confused because the email I got said my entry was removed because I'd posted personal information - which I hadn't, so the first time I just assumed it was an error.

MaW, are you at home now? Might we be able to meet up again before you go back?

personal information can be surprisingly impersonal. In the past, a real name plus college name has been deemed personal info, and blocked. Your best bet is to reply to the email you were sent, asking for clarification - the Editors don't deign to speak about individual cases in public any more.

Hi LokuZ, you should be receiving an email about this shortly.

I have never posted even my real name or college name. The closest it got was saying that I was seventeen years old and lived in Cambridge...

Moderators, thank you for replying. I will await the email.

That was probably Mark in disguise again...

Thank you... Mark.

Hmpf.

, anyone?

Oh. Was it you then, Linda?
