Not an option, English is a requirement. See my previous mail.

I agree it may still be a bit confusing to some users and i agree
those who don't take the quiz won't become an official member.

You're not serious, are you?
These people have dedicated a lot of work to the forums and
Gentoo. They are doing a great job. Why fire them?

You're still not serious, are you?
The purpose of this GLEP is to solve a problem that was introduced a
while ago. Giving 1/3 of the mods the boot isn't exactly my definition
of solving a problem. What if there is no outcome with this GLEP, will
everybody get the boot who isn't a developer then?
I think the current suggestion in the GLEP is the best we can
achieve. Old moderators may take the quiz, new moderators must. Given
enough time all old moderators may retire sooner or later and one day
all active moderators will be official.
