What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
This suggestion adds a new dedicated Discord channel with reaction roles that allow players to self-assign language roles (e.g., English, Spanish, Russian, etc.) by clicking on corresponding emoji reactions. It does not remove or modify any existing features—only introduces a new organizational tool. (This will mainly be used by UK server players.)

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
No, this has not been suggested before.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
• Improves communication efficiency by allowing players to easily find others who speak the same language.
• Enhances inclusivity for international players, making non-English speakers feel more welcome and reducing language barriers within the community.
• Reduces clutter in general chat, as players won't need to repeatedly ask "Who speaks [language]?"—they can simply check role members instead.

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
• May slightly increase server role count, which could become visually cluttered if too many language roles are created without organization.
• Requires initial setup and occasional maintenance (e.g., adding new languages or fixing broken reaction messages).
• Some users might assign roles for languages they don't actually speak, though this is a minor social issue.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
The benefits significantly outweigh the drawbacks. The setup is a one-time effort with minimal ongoing maintenance, while the improvement to cross-language communication and community inclusivity provides lasting value—especially as the player base grows internationally. The potential downsides are easily manageable (e.g., grouping language roles in a separate role category, using a bot).

This would massively increase the number of roles and encourage people to speak other languages in the Discord, which makes it impossible to moderate. -Support
Well, can also leave communication exclusively in English. Just add this so that players on the server itself can find playmates and conversations who know their own language.
It's not like I was offering communication in foreign languages on discord.

It is also that this would make the server get close to the discord role limit with adding a ton of languages, 250 is the limit and it is already over 200

I'm not suggesting adding all the existing languages. You can add a few of the most common ones
 
Кроме того, это приблизит сервер к лимиту ролей в Discord при добавлении множества языков; лимит составляет 250, а сейчас их уже более 200.
Например, только: английский, немецкий, французский, испанский, русский. Или те языки, которые администрация сервера сочтет необходимым добавить.

How would this even be useful over people just putting it in their Discord bios? afaik you can't search for players by role without admin perms, so you'd have to manually click profiles one by one anyway.
 
English, French, Spanish, German, Polish, Russian, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Arabic, Urdu, Hindi, Bengali, Portuguese. That's already 14 roles.
Well, I still don't know how many roles of the maximum have already been created on the server.

It is possible to search by role without the administration rights, but you made a bit of a mistake here.
 
Plenty of Russian/French/German etc servers out there who ban you for not speaking the language.

There is zero need to accommodate additional moderation or channels for other languages
I'm not saying that people who don't know English should play. I suggest this for those who know English, but also know other languages.
In addition, I did not suggest adding text channels for communication in other languages at all.
 
I suggested adding only a channel with language roles. Nothing more.
The moderation of the discord will not be affected in any way. She won't have any problems or new responsibilities.
 
Suggestion Denied

Hi @Leonid7557 ,

Thanks for taking the time to make a server suggestion.

We have chosen to deny your suggestion due to the following reasons:

While the benefits of being able to connect to others in your own language are not underlooked, the effort in implementing that and the potential issues aren't really worth the quality of life improvement. The first issue would be which languages get a role, while it might seem simple to just pick the top ten most spoken languages, the distribution of our players doesn't necessarily always reflect that, for example both mandarin and Hindu are very common, however the people who I have encountered who speak either of these languages is next to none. On the other hand, a lot of Swedish people play the server however their language is not as widely spoken worldwide. The second issue is that our servers operate on an English only policy as we are based in the UK making it our main language including that of the moderators. My concern would be adding country or language roles may mislead people and potentially lead to issues down the line or people exploiting that line of thinking where they claim innocence in a case when they were deliberately breaking said rule. Alongside all that, if you really wish to find people who speak your language in our community, you can ask around on discord, or alternatively if you open up teamspeak by default it shows peoples country of origin.

Your suggestion will now be locked and marked as denied.​
