Possible Edit to NationStates.

As this forum is a discussion for NS edits, I suggest the removal of the Iranian flag as a possible flag option in settings.

I believe this belongs in technical or moderation.

This is for alliances, diplomatic meetings, and alliance summits.
Not suggestions or reports.

The forum is called 'NationStates' so I think that would include suggestions.

No, it doesn't. This forum is primarily for diplomatic roleplaying; if you had read the stickies and the forum description you might have known that.

Technical is the forum this should go in.

It not you think. It is not for suggestions.

It clearly says:

Where nations come together and discuss matters of varying degrees of importance. [In-character]

Why? Iran is a country that exists and has a flag. It's widely recognized. :eyebrow:

Why? That sounds like a really pathetic and ultimately selfish idea. I'm guessing it has to do with the Palestine-Israel stuff and you dislike Iran because they support Hamas...

It seems illogical to remove the Iranian Flag. The moderators have already ruled on the ISIS flag as legal, and the Iranian flag should be legal as long as ISIS's flag is legal.

As I said, it most likely comes from Iran supporting Hamas and therefore the OP feels the Iranian flag should be removed. (by the OP's flag and name I assume they're, as such, Pro-Israel)

The Ruler of Iran calls America the 'Great Satan'. And they held hostages in the American Embassy to Iran.

We called Iraq and Iran as some of the Axises of Evil, when George Bush was around. And Iranian officials didn't do that. Those were Iranian Militants. And they had a bit of a good reason. We shot down a Iranian Civilian Flight, and killed over 250 people and never apologized. America has been involved in more worse things, so has Palestine and Israel, so that's not a logical response.

Well,then the Palestinian flag shouldn't be there is the OP believes Iranian flag should be banned. But it is ruled legal since it is a observer country of the UN, and is not to be meant as a offensive symbol to people.

by **The Zionist Nation** » Sat Aug 30, 2014 9:53 pm

That doesn't justify holding hostages.

He never said anything should be 'banned', just that the Iranian flag be removed from the list of flags to pick instead of uploading your own.

The techies aren't going to remove the flag from the list. [/thread]

Just because a nation is against America doesn't mean their symbols should be removed or censored.

Holding A few Hostages for 295 Deaths. Not Justifiable, but equal. I'm not saying they were right, but to me, it seems like a equal trade of violence.

Which would still mean it's banned. Say there was a Israeli flag available from choices. Then it was taken down. It signify's that NS is not willing to have Israeli mentions, or anything about Israel, same with Iran.

I just looked in the settings page. It isn't there.

by **Furry Alairia and Algeria** » Sat Aug 30, 2014 9:58 pm

I retake it. It isn't there because NS isn't willing to support it or treat it as equal because it isn't a official state.

Even further - are we going to remove national flags from the list just because they've done controversial or atrocious things in the past? If so the list is very, very long...

That wasn't the point; the ISIS flag is legal but not on the list.

And so are you, but it should not be used in an attempt to urge the techies to change something.

He means that it's legal to upload the flag to use as your national flag, not that the flag is a default flag.
