The guy wrote in portuguese. After taking a look at the other groups
addressed in his message, they're all video/graphics related. So I don't
think he meant to spam the group. It seems to me he didn't catch that this
is a English language group, or he's willing to participate and he just
doesn't known English.

I agree with the suggestion. It should be clear in group's rules that the
posts must be in English only.

By the way, in my opinion, the post is not Blender related.

For now, moderators should warn the guy to not post non English messages
again.
