I have started editing so it makes more sense to me. When finished with same, I will make note here if this hasn't been moved. When I'm finished, any Moderator or above has my permission to then move it to the Rules forum and make additional changes as they see fit.
I have now finished a rough grammar correction. This may now be moved, if desired, but I highly recommend someone fluent in both languages read through to verify the intent of this post remains the same as the intent of the German post. Please note, this post was a little harder to decipher, so there are some sections that were not changed from the electronic translators output. If in doubt as to the meaning of any particular section, I left it alone.
I publicly verify that I am not a Staff member on this forum. My only intent is to create an English readable version of the Forum Rules for myself and anyone else interested. I waive any possible rights to this content and verify Staffs right to move, edit, and/or simply delete this entire post.
