Hai~ !
Something I noticed a lot during my meager, unsignificant osu! experience is that some non-english new players - or even experimented players - tend to open the chat and immediately ask in their native language if there are others speaking their language. Although that is not a crime in itself, it tends to happen a lot (And I do mean a LOT) and it tends to give more work for global moderators and implicated players who try to reroute them to a channel in which they can find their kin.
Now, we know that osu! can track down almost anyone's country thanks to super-advanced CIA stuff, and what I've been wondering all of a sudden while chatting in the chat as I usually do is - what if on the game's startup, Bancho automatically opened a forth channel along with the #osu, #announce and #highlight channels which corresponds to the language those players speak locally ? For instance, if we see a mexican player, the game would open the #osu channel, the #announce channel, the #highlight channel AND the #spanish channel ?
Of course, no solution is magic, but if that gets implemented into the game, that would probably lower the amount of foreign players asking in a language few can understand a question that would be resolved by the language channel appropriate anyway.
What do you think ?
