Breto:and would've suggested it myself if there weren't a 3-day waiting period to post; congrats on making me make an account by the way
I meant to respond to this earlier but I dropped the ball and didn't get to it. This is a small digression and if anyone wishes to discuss this further, please open a new thread.

I'm on the site's administration team, and we are very sorry about the waiting period, but we instituted it as a protective measure against spammers and trolls. We had problems with people spamming users or trolling in the forums, getting banned, and opening up a new account right away to carry on with their annoying behaviour. The waiting period interrupts their fun and on our end, makes it a bit less like a game of whack-a-mole; they don't come back as frequently as they used to. We have tried a lot of countermeasures against both populations (spammers and trolls) to try to minimize the inconvenience to serious users, but it's hard to strike the balance between dissuading spammers while not excessively impeding normal use of the site. We're really sorry about the inconvenience it causes to sincere site users. If anyone has a great idea of how to solve this, please do open a new thread, or e-mail us privately (teamo@lernu.net) with your idea. FYI blocking IP addresses doesn't work; a lot of trolls are relatively knowledgeable technically and can get around that easily.

Again, we're sorry for the inconvenience with the waiting period. We instituted it mainly due to trolls but it has helped a lot with reducing the spamming as well.

From: Don Harlow...

"dvarvo: homsimila nana estaĵo, dika kaj kun densa barbo, ŝatas loĝi subtere kaj mini oron kaj juvelojn.
gobleno: homsimila estaĵo, ankaŭ subtera, sed kruela kaj eble antropofaga; ŝatas elveni nokte por ĝeni la homaron. En la posta trilogio La Mastro de la Ringoj, Tolkien renomis la goblenojn aŭrkoj."

Kaj: Here...

Tri ringoj por la elfo-regoj, sub la chielo;
Sep por la dvarvo-moshtoj, en haloj de shton'.
Nau por hom' mortema, kondamnita de mortpelo;
Unu por Malluma Moshto, sur Malluma Tron',
En la lando Mordor, tenebra pro malhelo.
Unu Ring' por regi chiujn, unu por venigi,
Unu por sklavigi kaj mallume enchenigi,
En la lando Mordor, tenebra pro malhelo.

For anyone who doesn't read EO, Dvarvo=Dwarf and Aŭrko=Orc in the above passages found on the internet.

MrCorwin (Kwerekana umwidondoro) 13 Nzero 2013 13:46:24

English: dwarf
German: Zwerg
Spanish: enano
Italian: nano
Russian: карликовый
French: nain

English: gnome
German: Gnom
Spanish: gnomo
Italian: gnomo
Russian: гном
French: gnome

All of this is from google translator, but i hope it has some points!

Edit:
from hVortaro:
It (En) = Eo
Nano (dwarf) = nano
Orco (orc) = Ogro
Coboldo (kobold) = Koboldo
Gnomo (gnome) = Gnomo

MrCorwin:
Orco (orc) = Ogro
Great, and here come the ogres! (Good thing I have an ogre slaying knife. It's got a +9 against ogres.) The dictionary says Ogro is ogre.. ogres and orcs are also different. I prefer Orĥo
