NOTE: I put up that pic for enlightening purposes only, no way am I associated with any forms of Nazism.

Now....you wouldn't truly take this image as a serious offense....

A little clarification here: Hack was referring solely to the use of that particular picture. Now, should it be spammed, or over-used, it will be disallowed.

Mammimi has more pucker lips and pinkish hair....and I doubt she'd ever wear something that covers herself up...

Max Barry himself =p The idea is that in the forums, it can be debated and discussed and so on, but nation flags can't be argued or whatever. That's also why the mods have orders to be stricter on offensive national mottos and stuff- those can't be argued by the general populace like a forum post can.

In response to questions: I'm only addressing the swastika here. I understand that there are many other symbols that are offensive to other people, and it's arbritrary to draw a line in the sand. Nevertheless, that's what needs to be done.

Reverse swastikas are prohibited, as are yellow swastikas, or 3D swastikas, or anything else that looks an awful lot like a swastika.

because Max and [violet] said that they were ok,
that and Soviet russia was more than just Stalins gypsie killing machine, they actually contributed to society, and didnt mindlessly wage war to go out and kill otherfolks minorities like Hitler's boys did.
They respected the rights of Foreign nations to oppres their minorites as they wanted .

i'm guessing its there because the image could be discussed on the forum as a pro/con issue. or for its artistic roots (as happened here almost immeadiately) while in the game, when used as a flag, that discussion would be limited or non existant. (restricted to telegrams, and regional HQ) inside the game, one could be offended by it (as i am) but have no recourse to open discussion (as i have here) .

IIRC, the reason only the swastica is banned is because it is far more assocciated with the Holocaust (even if you think it didn't happen :roll:) and WWII, and all the pain and death caused by those, then the Sickle and Hammer is with Stalin's purges, regardless of how many people were killed. Basically: the soviets had better a PR man, so get over it.
