Religion and Race

Ouch, who banned you? And how is "oen izan" offensive (i really haev no clue what it means :/) Dont ban me cause i sad it either

Hint: Read it backwards.

I don't myself really care if some name/banner is offensive or not. Also, some people are ignorant of the facts and therefore get to the false conclusion about what something represents. And you have to change it or be banned. That really sucks imo. Of course if it really is offensive, then go ahead. The Von Rosen cross that FAF used would be an good example.

A bit off-topic, but whatever.

So would a name like "ThereIsNoGod" or "God=Dead" be ok? Where's the line between "God=Dead" and "N*g=Die"?

While Jew and other derivitives of it are not specifically racist, they are discriminatory and still fall under rule #7 of Trench Wars.

Accordingly, all discrimination based on religion will be dealt with in the same manner. Like Shade Child mentioned in a post that I don't care to search for, if he were having a casual conversation:

Yojo> I can't make the match this saturday arro, I'm Jewish and am celebrating Hannikah.
Shade Child> I am also a Jew.
arrogance> Enjoy your high holiday!

Is not considered discriminatory at all, although a staff member would pick up on "Shade Child> I am also a Jew." it would not be considered discriminatory because of the context. The line varies with the situation really. Christianman99 can't be considered discriminatory because it's not really persecuting anyone/thing. Jewkid99 is kind of pushing it, as it could be relativly sarcastic. The line really does vary with the situation, I'm sorry to say.

Also, if someone gets banned for having the name black_hole_sun, well that's a problem.

Edit: On second though, black_hole_sun should be banned. Let's go with black_addar.
