You don't have the ability to remove posts. And, before you ask, that would not be justifiable basis for a ban.

>> I believe there are many Hispanic investors that would celebrate an opportunity to express themselves in their native language.

What is stopping them? The French speaking boards manage quite well. I don't see what the difficulty is.

What if the Hispanic guy goofs up and posts in Spanish on the non-Spanish board, are ya gonna whack his post with your post-whacking powers, as you would the non-Spanish post on the Spanish board? "The board description will clarify that all posts will be written in the Spanish Language, lest they will be removed. I believe there are many Hispanic investors that would celebrate an opportunity to express themselves in their native language."

As long as we're not thinking this through very far, we could really short-think it and set up a Lithuanian board that will clarify that all posts be written in the Lithuanian Language, lest they will be removed. I believe many Lithuanian investors would celebrate an opportunity to express themselves in their native language. Or maybe just let Lithuanians type in Lithuanian if they want, and the Spanish can type in Spanish if they want ---- on a regular, all-around board. The ones who can and do converse in those languages will do so anyway, whether the Board Title says "Spanish Only" or "Lithuanian Only".
