Now, how did I know – without looking at the originator – that you were the OP? 😛 Sorry you’re homesick. ☹ ---

I’ve got just enough German to know that. It is, however, against the rules of the SDMB to post in languages other than English, which I’ve gone through with the two of you before. Please observe the rules. Thanks, twicks ---

**Quasi** – I’m going to take your dementia into account and not give you a warning for ignoring a moderator’s instructions. I will, however, if you don’t cut it the fuck out. twickster, MPSIMS moderator ---

Hey, **Quasi**? You know how you told us to tell you when you post something out oughtn’t? I think this might be one of those times. 😉 I know you’re only joking, and that you’re not intending to do any harm; but I don’t think she has a sense of humour about this and I’d hate to see you get in trouble. ---

**Johnny** is correct, I don’t have a sense of humor about this. **Quasi** , I have issued you a warning for failure to follow a moderator’s instructions. I’m willing to cut you a little slack, but you are not exempt from the rules of the SDMB. **Do not post in German here.** For those who are following along wondering what the big deal is, [the rule is here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=7697021#post7697021). This is a rule I have reminded **Quasi** of previously. I don’t want to have to remind him of this rule again in the future. twickster, MPSIMS moderator ---

Since it is too long for a rock band name, can I use it as a sig line without getting in trouble ? Originally posted by Quasimodem: “Aber Du bist mir immer noch mein favorit Moderator (chen)!” I understand everything but the “(chen)”. any help ? Jon ---

No, the “post in English” rule extends to signatures. ---

It’s not really grammatically correct, anyway. “You’re still my favorite moderator (-ling)” would be better rendered “Du bist immer noch mein Lieblingsmoderator (-chen).” (Surely _that_ doesn’t violate any rules, yes?) ---

How about Early Modern English, or Middle English, or Old English, or Old Frisian? Or is only Modern English permitted? ---
