So should I ban swastikas using a UN proposal?

----------------------

Swastikas Ban

NOTING that the Swastika is a reminder of the terrible times suffered by the Jewish in World War Two, and the Nazi Party.

NOTING that the Swastika was a religious symbol of the Buddhists, but in which no longer relates to.

THEREFORE the United Nations ban any use of Swastikas in any Nation as a symbol, or on the flag.

Unfortunately, this is my first shot at it, I admit that it may be real world stuff, but it could be already implemented in terms of Gameplay Rules. Should I press ahead to clarify, or should I be convinced that Swastikas on the Gameplay Rules have enough effect?

I'm sorry, but this is ridiculous.

1. RL references - which you acknowledge yet keep in.
2. Redundant - as no nation can have a swastika in their main flag.
3. I fail to see why this is the UN's business.

I really don't think you will get anywhere with this, and I'd recommend you not try.

Nope. This is already covered by the rules on flags.

You should indeed be convinced of that. Besides, your proposal is illegal anyway.

Correct.

What this would mean is that any nation who put a swastika on their flag would be banned from the UN until that changed, and as I don't think that the code can do that, the mods take care of it.

So yeah, this would be just like something stright from the Redundant Department of Redundancy.
