Witch Hunt for Nazi material

[Kleidophoros]

We would like to initiate a witch hunt;
We are not cool with all these nazi material on the forums so we will be taking all of them down with your help; if you are using any nazi material in your signature/avatar please take it down. If not we will.

We are aware of the Alpha Centauri business and the signatures to go with it; you may keep it confined to that thread.

Thank you for your cooperation.

[Austupaio]

You've clearly never seen The Producers, I have no clue what the Alpha Centauri business is. I would encourage watching my signature some time. Maybe before you take it down.

Silly people, being frightened of Roman symbols. Well, I'm too lazy so you do it.

The chick in the avatar took a whole five minutes to cut out for transparency, taking my hard work away from me. Tsk, tsk.

Question, was it a report or your own delicate sensibilities?

[Kleidophoros]

Swastika is not a Roman Symbol; it dates back to Neolithic period.
Nazi Swastika is another business though.

[Austupaio]

Yes, I knew was older than that, but Romans really gave it a meaning and used it the most prolifically. Well, after the Nazi party I guess. Not that it's even relevant, since I've clearly got SA in my avatar. The sig is a bit ambiguous, so can I keep that?

There's no swastika, no eagle, no silver SS.

Ah, thanks. Of course, now I can't actually find it. Was tempted to just blow up this avatar and put a big Axis symbol behind her, but I figured you'd be a sour-puss about it.

Just before you go swinging banhammer and whatnot, I've got a question. Will the communist crap also be removed?

[Austupaio]

Pf, of course not. Communist symbols don't make the unwashed masses go 'oh gosh you hurt my feelings'.

[FrisianDude]

Eh? So now everyone who didn't add all sorts of crap to their sig and avatar is part of 'unwashed masses?'


Anyway, burn it alllll cooo-eee!

[Austupaio]

What sort of strange way did you read my post that prompted that response?

No the 'they' I refer are the folks that get stingy with swastikas.

And again, I'd like to point out I was referencing a rather funny movie, it had nothing to do with any fads.

[Darwin]

Ah, finally. Thanks.

[Austupaio]

Ah, finally. Thanks.

Sissy.

Would it be helpful to go ahead and post those with the alleged contraband, since you're intent on purging it? I wasn't sure if you were giving people to time to log on and see this or just going at it.

Only two I can think of, it wasn't actually that common. I see what you mean about that thread though; although the wide-spread use of it and the incurring wrath makes it really difficult for me to work in the Producers to my profile.

Traitor! 

[Austupaio]

Yeah, 'cause Tib was totally flying under the radar with the supermodel bearing all in front of the swastika.

[The_Freeman]

I support this, in fact I had in mind of reporting or at least asking about all this nazi stuff before seeing this, but decided not to because I figured that the moderators would already have noticed and maybe were thinking about it.

[Austupaio]

So does it actually offend you somehow, or do you just go with the flow every time the public makes a decision?

Not instigating here, just wondering why any one other than those acting in the outward-image interest actually cares.

My grandfather has been in concentration camp.
Why do you care so much about having nazi stuff in the signature? I just wonder if you want to be the "anticonformist" guy or if it's something worse.
Also, I'm sorry but how are the Alpha Centuari signatures ok? They could at least make it clear that it's about a game, because as they are now they seem like political propaganda.
