These people troll in every vote thread, they'll just make stupid votes in english.

A better solution IMO is to move the voting to somewhere where free-form votes are not allowed.

One of them asked if the word was Austrian or German. Google Translate
does not offer an option for Austrian, and one of the votes was German for
"potato salad"

Regardless if the people voting in other languages were being silly or
not, I think it would be a good idea.

Hi,

A number of individuals are voting on proposals in other languages
(Austrian? German?). Not everyone can speak these languages, and I've
never seen languages other than English spoken on the list. I don't
know how to process these votes, though I'm hoping someone else can
before time runs out (or until someone translates them for Jonah and
I). But in the future, unless the demographics in this shift into
speakers of another language, who can reverse saide policy, we should
require voting in English, with votes in other languages considered
invalid.

What do you think?
