Question regarding Swastikas
I believe that Swastikas are a banned from nation's flags. Does any similar ruling cover the use of swastikas in graphics posted on the forum?
This is in particular reference to the thread "Check Out My New Boots", which seems to have little purpose other than to display nazi imagery.

Swastikas are banned in flags because they cannot be debated. In the forums, it's more of a case-by-case scenario. If it's being used to harass or grief someone, it'll be removed. If it's part of a discussion, it's allowed.

I remeber I once started a thread about why Nazi's are alowed on NS, and it went to 10 pages. Swastika's are offensive no matter what the context.

They offend YOU in any context. Not everyone.
Beeks, you know perfectly well swastikas are banned. And with your anti-Nazi reputation, authoring a thread making light of Nazis and Nazi artifacts, well, that's flamebait/trolling. So please, be careful.

So are pictures of swastikas banned from the general forum or not?

As Reploid said, it's dealt with on a case-by-case basis. The Moderator at the scene makes the call. On this occasion there was also consensus.

No, my boot thread was about me getting new boots (that happened to have swastikas on the soles).

The pic draws to much attention. Makes it very hard to read the post. So I agree. Take it away please.

Too bad.... I love the sig.
Too bad. If I see that pic one more time, I'm going to find out who it is a picture of and rip them to pieces.
Better then the Nazi pic sig we were beaten with for a while.

Gotta disagree there mate, I am in no way a nazi or anything else right of Leon Trotsky, yet I were a swastika symbol, the original norse rune not the nazi one, because in it's original context it symbolised protection. (It was given to me by an Irish Pagan mate. It's carved into a chunk of Baltic amber.)
