Who determines 'abuse' on all these foreign language questions?

Update:

I do not use forign languages, and I was not suspended. Just wondering if we might have terrorists talking right in front of us; and who is monitoring that activity. Ty

    The Community Guidelines clearly state "Don't post things that are incomprehensible or in the wrong language", and also on Y!A's Help Page it says "The language you participate in must match the language of the site you are on", although one is allowed to ask translation questions (which still need to be phrased in English here).

    So anybody on the site who recognizes a violation of this rule can use the Report Abuse button and possibly cause deletion.

    There are over a million users on here from all parts of the world so anyone who understand the language can report the violations. The USA doesn't have a shortage of foreigners so that helps, lol.
