Hi,
The name of the region my country is in was changed today, seemingly by your admin staff. The Land of Rape and Honey became "The Land of Honey."
It may be possible that some find the use of the word "rape" offensive, however, there's nothing in the region to advocate rape. (except the brief presence of the nation Tentacle Rape Demons, itself a joke based on a type of adult anime.)
The name is in reference to an album by the band Ministry, itself a wordplay on the phrase "The land of milk and honey." Ministry is one of the foremost industrial bands, and the region has that theme, as myself and the other nation are fans of that music.
So, what's next? Is the rapist punishment issue going to go away now?
I understand this is Barry's web site for educational purposes, so there's no "guarantee of free speech," but this is going a little far I think.
Oh, and why has the forum search option been limited to author only? This hurts the ability to use the forum in many ways. In one way, to see if there were any complaints relating to my region.
