Hello Frederik, All the entities like forum/wiki/talk are global. It would better to have common guidelines forum/wiki/talk.
Splitting the guidelines each forum say, India forum, Germany forum would not do any good. I understand your point and can be part of the guideline for the forum. First, raise in the forum. Second, raise to Moderator. Moderator can take the call ? When Verdy was blocked in the Wiki , we didn't had any policy. (still, we don't have) It was discussed on the random talk page. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User_talk:Lyx#Verdy_p_2 Thanks, Naveen Francis <http://wikibooks.in> On Fri, Dec 21, 2018 at 3:48 PM Frederik Ramm <frede...@remote.org> wrote: > Hi, > > On 21.12.2018 10:36, Naveen Francis wrote: > > Is there any policy on the language used in OSM talk/forum/wiki ? > > I was going through Thailand OSM forum > > Generally, you should only appeal to authorities if you cannot resolve > the matter in the community.
