Don't use it. The swastika is clear as day.

One might question the wisdom in using a flag that appears to attempt to piss off several groups of people all in one great whack ... just something to ponder in the future, or for anyone else taking a peek here.

Sorry if this is off topic, but would the use of that flag be okay if the swastika is removed?

I hope I'm not spamming by asking this, but are Confederate flags banned the same way Nazi ones are?

I don't like the Confederates, but I'm thinking about making a Confederate themed puppet for my collection.

I had a Confederate puppet with the stars and bars at one point. It's allowed. I've also seen other people use the battle flag. Mods don't seem to care.

The one I'm talking about is the stereotypical Confederate battle flag, like on the General Lee. I would just rather make sure it is alright.

If you really want to, that's your choice. The only image specifically noted as being against the rules in that flag, is the swastika.

How does it piss them off? If anything that flag shows unity.

Swastikas are not allowed. End of story. The Mods will say the same thing.

Even though it meant good luck at one point, the Nazis corrupted it and turned it into a symbol of hate and violence. Because of what the modern day swastika meant (not the Finnish Air Force swastika), it offends an ENORMOUS amount of peoples. Therefore, to keep it from offending people, the Mods, Admins, and Barry banned it from ever appearing game side.

Forum side? It's allowed, as it can enhance RPs.

Hope I didn't overstep my bounds as a player.

To which there's no point. Max established the rules of the game. He said no swastikas, so there are no swastikas.
