  • Zylka's avatar

    Am I the only person who holds that the use of the Nazi swastika as an avatar should not be allowed?

    Uber used one before and was "moderated".
    I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

        I couldn't give a **** about what Zylka does or doesn't do with his avatar.
        If I'm posting here then Counterglow must be down.

          I don't think it should be banned.

            Like FP says :

            I couldn't give a **** about what Zylka does or doesn't do with his avatar.
            Or are there people on 'poly who have never even seen a war film or whatever. Its just a cross with legs. But if Zylka wanted to put anything on his avatar I wouldn't care. You know what he's trying to do, and UR has taken the bait starting this thread.

              While I tend to agree, that avatar sets a less friendly tone to Apolyton than does, say, FP's avatar. Mind you, I have not even seen Z's current avatar.

                I thought it was a joke for the banning the nazi party thread.

                  Zylka's profile (with avatar)

                  On my last vacation to SE Asia, they had swastika signs on pretty much every street corner in the Indian/Buddhist parts of the cities I visited. It's quite a popular symbol of luck/prosperity among Buddhists, but somehow I suspect Zylka's not using it for its religious significance...

                    Maybe they were Finnish Air-Force -symbols (Like swastikas, but lines were pointing the other way)?

                      Yes... people have been moderated for using swastika's before.

                      Zylka's avatar has been removed, and he's been told not to use them again.

                        Tuo,
                        IIRC I've seen both variants. Apparently Indians aren't very particular when it comes to such symbols

                          Now that it has been settled, please close this thread.
