detection would fail quite often; stupid Yahoo sends French ads to all Belgians although the majority speaks Dutch.
Al that is needed is making it a user setting, maybe preload it with a good first guess, then offer the suggestion to check and correct it when the account gets created.
The one big argument against it is there would be no end to the candidate messages for bilingual display.
IMO the correct way of dealing with offenders is the community replying one extremely short message ("wrong forum"), and then ignoring it. Programming questions in non-programming forums should not result in multiple replies, and certainly not in an actual answer. Offenders need education.

That's why the uncertainty in my question. That's also why I suggested posting the notice both in English and in the user's language, if a reasonable guess can be made.

I'm waiting for Luc's reply. He might have a bit of phlegm in his throat though.

Sorry, lunch lured me away. And Nino[^], commenting on QE competition, finals week.
Did I miss something? What gibberish needs a reply?
I'm not in Holland either, and I see lots of Dutchmen every day.
If you see double, unwarranted quantities of spirits could be involved.
And phlegm? as in expectorated mucus? not on this side of the channel, sir. Hasn't your shrink warned you about projections like that?
My throat is fine, thank you. It is the result of a nice little Bordeaux.
Not sure what preventive measure I will indulge next.

People don't read. When they do read, they consider themselves a special case.
Like the guy who parks his car at the front door of the supermarket, blocking the sidewalk ramp, instead of moving 10 feet away to an actual empty carpark. He's special. It's only him. It won't matter this one time.

What you when that happens is one of two things. If you're driving a beater truck you pull/push the offender into a ditch. If not you deflate all 4 of his tires and call the cops to report him for illegal parking.

Hi,
The CPOL license contains the following restriction at 5f :
You agree not to use the Work for illegal, immoral or improper purposes
I have some troubles to interpret this clause… Who defines what is immoral or improper ?
(Even "legal" is relative to where you live)
How does one know if he is breaking the license ? Are there jurisdictions defining morality / immorality ?
What about creating something that the original author did not anticipate, is this covered by improper purpose ? How does one know ?
Considering that the name of the author can't be used without his consent already, I don't understand this clause.
Thanks for any clarification !

Sort of makes you think of the ending of "Alice's Restaurant"/
|

|
11a states "This License shall be governed by the laws of the location of the head office of the Author or if the Author is an individual, the laws of location of the principal place of residence of the Author.", so these definitions are judged in the jurisdiction of the Author of the code.

Thank you.
But… I don't think there is any jurisdiction actually defining immorality, is there ? (or improper usage)
Immoral is not illegal, so there is not even a need to define it in the legal sense. How does it work ?
Whether what one is doing with the code is immoral or not sounds very subjective / arbitrary. If the goal is to prevent usages that the original author wouldn't approve or like, then it isn't very clear.
I know there are some moral clauses in some contracts (like in sports). But these clauses explicitely define the innacceptable behavior that will lead to the breach. With a broad "immoral or improper purposes", it seems impossible to know what exactly is covered…
Thanks!

For some reason this question[^] is tagged with: C#, SQL, SQL, database
and I am not able to remove the duplicated tag. It looks okay in the preview if I remove one, but then the double SQL tag shows up again.
EDIT: If you hover over the tags you can see that they are linked differently (possibly two tag IDs 93 and 157 for SQL?), thanks pompeyboy3 for the hint.

Not Just you!
I tried, and slightly edited the question in case it wasn't registering as there was no change to the body.
Alas, the SQL x2 remains.
BUG!!!!
