Thanks.

While we are at it there was a nation who asked me to investigate some nazi regions a week or so ago, and I found two definate swastikas (DRF Party and 88aryan88), two more with semi-sawastikas (they were rounded as opposed to squares, one name containing a term for a certain body part, a questionable motto, and a slew of questionable flags (which I now know are legal). The swazstikas are still up, and the report does not seem to have been looked at.

"One day the world will know that Adolf Hitler was right" seems to be an obvious support of the holocaust, and I had heard that it was a DEATable offence to call for or support the extermination of a religious or ethnic group.

thank you mods.


I feel the need to say this to all mods, not just TG. I would like to thank you for all of your hard work. i have broken rules in the past. However, you mods do your work for free, and are willing to make discisions(sp?) on the important stuff. the nesecity(sp?) of mods like Neut is immense, and admin needs to back him up. he did his thinking on the go. it may not have been the correct choice, but he needs to be able to do what he deems appropriate with little time. the fiasco in the pacific probably seemed like the correct choice at the time to Neut, and even if Francos Spain is a horrible tyrant, he earned his right to delegate, and (with all due respect) if people don't like him they can stuff it and move. the point is that Neut did his thinking on the go. I myself, hate Neut, but he deserves some respect, (which he just got from me) for his actions. Neut is the kind of mod who earned his title and deserves it. if people want to rank on the mods, they can go to a different game, because the mods here don't deserve it. I hope that admin will write an official disclaimer and even commend Neut for his actions. so, to the hardworking mods, and specifically Neut, THANK YOU!

that is the longest post i've ever done :wink:

Did you mean to post that on this thread? :?

DRF Party confirmed. 88ARYAN88's flag has been reset.

It's debatable. Saying 'Hitler was right' does not constitute a call for or support of genocide. Was right on what? Whilst it's highly politically incorrect (at least in this country) to say anything about Hitler that's not totally negative, I'm sure I'm not taking too much of a liberty on saying that Hitler was bound to have been right (or at least in concurrence with modern ethical viewpoints) on a number of things.

Did you mean to post that on this thread? :?
I was looking at the other threads before. i went on my rant here :D

88aryan88 has had his flag reset to default.

DRF Party is toast.

The crossed S swastikas are technically legal.

Why is a swastika not allowed? Its not like its evil or anything. Just becuase Hitler used it, its deemed evil. God, Budda has a swastika on his foot, Native indians used them, theres a town called swastika. A swastika is a symbol of good things. I've forgotten exactly what, but it should not be banned

Simple answer:

It's banned because Max Barry said it was banned

Because Max Barry and [violet] determined that they are banned.

Phoebos is correct, Max wanted it banned. As for the rest, the relevant term here is "collateral damage". We recognise that in some cultures it means something else. But it was hijacked. Most unfortunate.

So stupid... Who cares if people have the Nazi flag or anything else from that regime up? It spices up the roleplaying.

Oh well. I figured that, which was why I did not give names.

Er is the motto that I quoted ("Someday the world will know that Adolf Hitler was right") legal. It seems to be a thinly veiled encouragement of

Well, as long as they're not spamming it's fine by me.

While we are at it there was a nation who asked me to investigate some nazi regions a week or so ago, and I found two definate swastikas (DRF Party and 88aryan88), two more with semi-sawastikas (they were rounded as opposed to squares, one name containing a term for a certain body part, a questionable motto, and a slew of questionable flags (which I now know are legal). The swazstikas are still up, and the report does not seem to have been looked at.

I know it may seem wrong to you and I certianly don't support this stuff but isn't that what freedom of speech is all about?

yeah but for true debate shouldn't all sides be presented?

Ahahahaha! Hahaha! Free speech! No, it's not. I run this web site, see, so you have to play by my rules. It's like my own Father Knows Best state.

Most likely, yes.

And as an aside, I can confirm that the right to free speech on this site is limited to a certain extent by the owner, and the Moderators are appointed to enforce such wishes. Time and time again people raise the right to free speech issue, forgetting that the FAQ says they have none.

Yes. Nonetheless, speech is not without limits on this site

No.
Not here.
Otherwise we would need to round up some (for example) pro-paedophilia* advocates before we could even raise the subject.

We, on the NS website live under the benign dictatorship of Max Barry and are watched over by his secret police. Love it or leave it.
