i was forced to remove my banner

[Kid Kaos]

Read my signature. Anyways, goddess <er> decided to silence me using her er powers just because I said the word slit....

Now that you know how stupid a bitch she really is, you should not be surprised when she gives you a moderator warning before even talking to you.

I think your complain is in the wrong place:

Staff complaints and compliments
KJW - Dec 18, 2002

We now have a new e-mail address for any problems you may have with any TW staff member(s). To register any complaints about a staff member, e-mail your side of the story to complaints@trenchwars.org. You may also e-mail the same address for any staff member(s) you think did something above and beyond the call of duty. You may or may not get a reply, but be assured all complaints will be investigated further.

Greetings,

[Jester]

banned for using that banner is just fucking stupid! People think the Swastica was created by Adolf?

[Machine of God]

thank you roger.

[Verthanthi]

This has been rehashed multiple times. Go find one of the other threads to bitch in.

First off, if you have a genuine complaint about a staff member, it is best to use the formal complaint process. That way we can be assured that the necessary parties are informed of the situation, and a resolution can be found. These forums are a great sounding board, but are inappropriate for these types of situations. Granted as staff members we assume that there will be a natural aggression and hatred towards what we do and how we act, and that we should expect public outcry when situations such as this arise. However, looking at it from a different perspective should show you that there are times when an issue must be dealt with through official channels.

Secondly, the use of possibly offensive banners has been outlawed in SSCU Trench Wars. This was made quite public when the rules were adjusted 2 months ago, and should come as no surprise to anyone. If you happened to miss the discussions on this forum over the issue, that is understandable. If you did not read the news.txt as you entered the zone after the changes were made, then that is your fault. As staff, we did all we are required to do for notifying the public of the change.

Third, the argument of whether or not the swastika represents this or that, is a moot point. Civilizations and cultures have used this symbol to represent many things over time, and those uses have been both negative and positive. In order to silence the argument, it was found best to outlaw any form of the swastika for use in SSCU Trench Wars. This resolution satisfies all parties, with the exception of those who are too young to realize that their actions have an effect on those around them (which is wholly inexcusable) and those who feel it necessary to push the envelope in order to supplement their own lack of self esteem.

In closing, thank you for making us aware of this situation. Often times our rules leave open avenues for personal interpretation, and that can caue conflict. I appluad you for removing it, and for coming forward.

I think you overreacted to Goddess's warning to you. As you quoted, her first message to you wasn't that you will be banned for it, but that the banner is cause for a ban and that you should change it. She may not have said it in a way that I would have, but nevertheless, she did ask you to remove it. Staff has no real onus to explain to you that decision, as the reasons for it could be found in news.txt, although an explanation would be better.

The way that you described your discussion, it looked more like she just came in to tell you to change it after complaint, and left without thinking it was such a big deal.

[Verthanthi]

Does anyone else think tk made that post just to say onus?

[Machine of God]

oh well, i guess il just have to look at my banners more carefully before putting one on next time. but I still dont like that rule, its just a game, if people dont like what is being said or shown they can either ignore that person or not play...

I BET NOBODY IS ACTUALLY OFFENDED BY SEEING A SWASTICA and if they are then that is pretty sad because you should forget about what happened 50 years ago and relax.

HOW ABOUT WE BAN THE HAMMER AND SICKLE ALONG WITH IT
this banner offends me as a Canadian that is paranoid about communism taking over my country. Im serious here, i want anyone with a hammer and sickle banner (whether they are using it because they play C&C or not) to be threatened with a ban because i am offended by it

WHY NOT ELIMINATE THE BANNER ALL TOGETHER
as a "christian" i find the banners with nudity and anything to do with hell or satan very offensive, ban anyone with them now


...anyways, enough pointless rambling. I relize that you guys have to lay down certian rules and I will follow them because I like this game and its fun, so now I will just shutup and play, ty
