A question for a moderator out there-please read.
This is to any mod willing to listen:
As a national socialist i think it disgusting how i am not allowed to have a swastika as my national flag, my question to you is can i have a flag that has Adolf Hitler on it/in it/as the main image?? Ive seen a few nations with a picture of the Fuhreh as their flags, and was wondering whether it is possible to have a picture of hitler as my national flag.
And if so, why cant i have a swastika, if i can have hitler?

Why you can't have a Swastika on your flag (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=275081) - by [violet].
The Hitler question I leave for the mods.
Only the swastika is banned.
This will not be changed.
Hitl0r is fine.
How can you have one rule for a symbol, and one rule for another symbol. i see no difference, they both represent "Evil" as much as the other.

Essentially, because Max said so. His site, his rules. This will not be debated.

Max Barry and Game Administrator [violet] made a specific ruling regarding a specific symbol. The swastika was banned from NationStates flags because of the associations that most people make with it. However, this reasoning is not extended to other symbols; only this specific symbol and its mirror image (the swastika and the reverse swastika; 4-leg varieties only) are banned.
Other Nazi symbols are allowed on NationStates flags.
This has been argued up, down, forwards, backwards, rightside-up, upside-down, inside-out, diagonally, left, right, and center. If you wish to read previous discussions, then I recommend a forum search on all topics in "Moderation" with the words "swaktika" and "ban".
