[QUERY] Swastikas galore, perfectly acceptable?

Postby Hurdergaryp » Sat Dec 03, 2016 6:27 pm

I couldn't help but notice the pair of intertwined swastikas in the flag of recent NationStates member Svaroga. Also the infamous Black Sun, an alternative type of swastika popular with neonazis because of its ritual use by the SS, tends to pop up in flags with a sickening regularity, as shown by this member.

Since classic nazi flags are prohibited, it would only be logical if attempts to make fools of the moderator team by sneaking in alternatives that mean the very same thing would fall under the blanket ban as well. Anything else would simply be appeasement, after all. Does the official policy still condemn whipping out swastikas in order to rub them in everyone's faces, or have there been a number of soft changes?

Flags are a gameside issue, so if you wish to report a particular flag, please file a GHR.

There isn't a blanket-ban on everything resembling a swastika, but if the nation appears to be endorsing genocide via Nazi symbols, that's the time for the GHR.

Doesn't exactly look nazi-like to me, in my opinion.

You've had repeated warnings and even a 1 day ban for spamming in Moderation. As those haven't worked, take a *** 3 day ban for spamming in Moderation. ***

You're not a Moderator, your opinion was not asked for.
