Yeah, it's SEEN as a bad thing, but it really isn't, so I see no reason to treat it as such.

It's always been my opinion that the bans that some western countries have on public displays of swastikas and/or holocaust denial and/or other "hate speech" are things completely unworthy of free nations. There is no such thing as the right not to be offended. There is, however, such a thing as the right to freedom of speech. National socialism is an ideology based on trolling real life -- banning swastikas is just feeding the trolls. I wouldn't ban swastikas even if it were the case that the symbol had nothing but negative connotations across all cultural divides.

We're having a dev session right now, and some of the stuff we're working on should help you in your policing efforts. Expect an update in a few hours.

Stay strong.

While i think you're right, freedom of speech does not mean freedom to discriminate and racism.(both illegal in my very freedom of speech based country ( we may insult cops here, go figure)).

Either way, i think it's immoral. And the fact he's using flaws in your game to perhaps hurt people's feelings doesn't make it any better for me.
I sure do hope whatever you're brewing in the dev session is going to be something to fill the gaps made by the flaws that are still in the game.
The ones who see things differently.

You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

Oh, your insightful comments on how "it just a symbol" have convinced me to go around town digging swastikas into people's front yards.

Really, do we want the only defense from griefers to be running away from them?

Ahhh... why does this game have to be so much more stressful than real life?
Surprise.

Where I live, it means "Temple"
And the maps are covered with that symbol. You see it on Kenpo Gis all the time.
Its just a symbol. I support making it harder to do things like that in a town that does not want it, but the new vandalism update shouold pretty well fix that.
