For the past 2 weeks, I've only suspended and terminated chinese or foreign language sites that are not in German, English, Spanish, or French. Is that bad? Or is it fine for me to do it? They are the only ones uploading illegal content and harmful files. So...what should I do? Keep suspending and removing them?

If you're ruthlessly rational about it, it is not predjudice.
"If Filetype=.exe & AntiVirusWarning=Yes Then Nuke".

It becomes predjudice if you find yourself exhausted on a thursday at 11:38 after three hours of server maintenance and NewUser signs up in SomeLanguage and you find yourself going "Bah, screw him".

well i think thats ok.....
coz the languanges one doesn't know he can never be sure what are they using his sapce for.

So i think you are right but on the other hand it may be bad for those non english website owners who dont do any illegal acitivity on their site.

No you're not being prejudice. Better safe than sorry. You've got to do what you've got to do. If it was me, if it was a language that I couldn't understand, and I don't know what the h the site is about, or even if there was just a little bit of hint of something that's not right, I'll immediately terminate~

We all are at some point in our lives, we'd be major hypocrites if we dared speak about someone else doing it... o...

I do not allow any sites if they are not in either English or Spanish, because those are the only two languages I understand. I do this for legal purposes (I don't know what someone is posting in Chinese, Russian, French, etc) - to stay out of trouble.

So no, I do not think you're prejudiced.

Do you state that no other languages apart from German, English, Spanish and French will be accepted?

Prejudice is the person that have propaganda, stubborn, stoneage mind, small world do something from their own selfishness than reason & always undestimate others without caring what's good inside. The person that do something with reason without selfish hatre is not prejudice. Read the below & watch yourself what type do you thinking.

1. I ban, I hate them they're that country, they're black, yellow skin, they're low life country, they're gay, they always like that etc. It's my rights I can do what I want. [prejudice, disgusting person, mental disorder, dregs of society]
2. I ban, They abuse, they deserve what they do. I can't monitor that country, language so I've to block them first for my safety. Unless I've anyone that can monitor that langauge so that I can allow it later. [normal person, wisdom, lawfulness]

Answer yourself who the type you are & accept yourself. You done what you get that it the result of what you've done.

It's your business so you can make whatever rules you want. I haven't had many problems with Chinese users, just some of their sites can get a lot of traffic that overloads the server. The biggest offenders are the Nigerian and Algerian accounts running scam sites!

I think you have to suspend first all the suspected accounts but please don't suspend them just because not in english, I don't know if you are european or not but in europe is not legal to suspend people's account just for the language (as I think in other parts of this crazy world).. see, I am italian and I was warned in a forum because I met another italian in trouble, he's not able to write in english (not that I am better)... well, many user pmed me to say that was not right!

As many said, you can suspend saying that you are making some checks on the account, using some online translators you can have a brief idea of what they are saying and then take your conclusions! Mind that warez is not only english, is a worldwide used word... but if they are clean, let it go! :)
