In the event you need to have a user banned please contact one of the forums administrators to facilitate this for you.[INDENT]Forum Permissions Include:[INDENT]1. Delete/Undelete Posts & Threads

[/INDENT][/INDENT]Since the LoCo forum will be managed by you for your team, you are welcomed to speak your native language in your forum. Please keep in mind the rest of the ubuntuforums is English only. Also please keep in mind users must follow the official forum guidelines when posting, we try to maintain a friendly environment for everyone.

  1. Stick or Unstick Threads
  2. Open/Close Threads and posts
  3. Move threads

Requesting your LoCo Forum: Make a post **here** with your LoCo team name and the following information:

I'm sure you have this covered already - but please make sure that you don't open a forum for a local team that already has one on their own website, creating allowing rival forums to spring up would be problematic.

Hi,

This is Sriramadas contact person of Ubuntu Tamil Team.

We are recognised as Ubuntu Tamil Team and is listed at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamList

Website: www.ubuntu-tam.org Wiki: wiki.ubuntu.com/TamilTeam

We would like to request you to host a forum for us.

http://tamilteam.ubuntuforums.org would be the desired URL.

Please help us getting a forum.

Regards,

Sri Ramadas alias Amachu :) wiki.ubuntu.com/sriramadas IRC: amachu AT freenode

I have a question (couldn't find the answer yet):

In case the LoCo team is from a non english speaking country, can they write in their own language or the subforum must be in english?

This is exactly what I've been looking for. I'm from Uluga (Ubuntu User Group Argentina), and we're finishing the final setups.

According to the oficial wiki, this would be the best place to setup our forums, which by the way, will be in spanish.

A quick response would be greatly appreciated since we want to have everything up and running by the end of the month.

Thanks a bunch.

Martin

P.S. We are listed as the LoCo por argentina: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamList
