With the language issue: I admit that I do speak English as my first language, and I speak several other languages poorly. That said, it saddens me when other players insult players who are unable to speak English fluently. However, I'm never sure how to deal with it, because I have to ask myself if I'm treating those who point out flaws in ESL speakers' speech differently vs. EFL speakers' speech (well, text, but you get what I'm saying). Is it ok to tell someone who speaks English as their first language that their English is not very good, but not someone who speaks English as a second language?

Unfortunately, with bullying the victim does need to make sure he or she has a running record for repeated harassment or even some kind of proof for mods to do much about bullying. I sympathize with victims of bullying, though, I get bullied and harassed as well, and there's a certain amount of that I've accepted as part of the job of being a moderator. All I can suggest victims do is to make complete reports to one of the ED in-game mods or to the Lawman, and to ignore bullies or avoid places where bullies tend to congregate. Yes, it would be better to say "potential bullies, stop bullying", and this in no way is blaming the victim- it's risk reduction, not prevention. And hopefully punishing the offenders will lead to less bullying if they know that there are consequences to their actions.

If the post is really hard to read or understand due to poor English, then yes you can ask them to clarify their point but no one should be jumping to insult another person just because English isn't their first language.
