Wrong forum... you should ask in Moderation, I guess.

No, swastikas and their numerous variations are not permitted on this site.

I don't see why not. It's not the image, but what it represents and I see no harm in this form. Of course if it were up to me, I would allow them in all forms, because any one offended by a symbol needs to grow some skin.

This has been debated time and time and time again...the link Frisbeeteria provided should more than answer any questions. *sigh*

Regardless of what anyone may think about it being unfair, the rule will be staying. Which I believe is a good move.

Good Lord, people, what are you doing to that deceased equine!? it's actually gone squishified from the incessant pounding!


(Continue to debate it all you like, but not in moderation. The ruling stands -- no Swastikas are allowed.)

Filum Clasum!
