I have never used any language other than English in my posts, so this new rule does not affect me. In fact, it helps me because it reduces the rewards to others, increasing the rewards to me!
And yet, I do not agree with the rule, for 2 main reasons. 1 is it is a form of censorship and control. 2 is I can no longer read your posts without using a 3rd party website! But like Yayogerardo said, there is nothing we can do about it. Unfortunately, this means I will probably not read many posts by authors who do not write in English, because that is an extra step and drain on my time, and I have always disagreed with any blockchain activity that requires 3rd party software.
I imagine the intention here was to reduce abuse... but it damages the experience for everyone, even the people not abusing.
Ray, I will still try and read your posts when I can, but I really disagree with this new rule.
What will they go after next, people who copy and paste a large segment of text onto each post, advertising their other projects, sharing links, banners, a signature? Because that too is a way to increase Blurtbooster rewards, without any extra effort. Is that the next rule? Then what, will they tell us we must use contractions like "can't" instead of typing "cannot", to stop people who type with extra unnecessary characters? Will they start to police our choice of words, claiming we are using more than necessary to convey our meaning or creativity? What's next? : (
