DD, I'm not saying it has to go (personally, I would think that would be rather silly: it's clearly mocking the two ideologies depicted).
The difference between hammer & sickle and swastika is that hammer & sickle are symbols of communism in general and are used by communists all over the world, while the swastika is a symbol of Hitler and Nazi-Germany in particular: other fascist regimes use different symbols.
That, combined with the fact that fascism by its very definition preaches rasicm and hatred, while communism is at its heart a perfectly acceptable ideology (even if it may arguably never work in practice and has been abused as an excuse for terrible atrocities).
Anyway, I don't make site policy, so my opinion doesn't count anyway

Yeah, I find your avatar sacrilegious.

At least he brought a flag...

Uber is still sporting a swastika.Originally posted by Skanky Burns
Uber used one before and was "moderated".
One that mixes and matches the top two murderous ideologies of the 20th century. Good going, man! 
Edit: I see that this has already been noted. My bad.Last edited by JohnT; May 31, 2003, 20:07.Comment

Well...Originally posted by Locutus
Well, I'd say either both are still prety darn close to the Nazi swastika and should prolly be avoided in avatars, unless there's a very good reason for it.
If you have seen both of them once, you could tell the difference. At least I could

/me wonders when someone will complain about his avatar, even though it's only to represent a position in a democracy game

You see, this is the problem! I, for example, never even noticed your avatar involved anything (I have to squint to see it anyways
).
No one ever does any harm until someone overly sensitive raises the alarm. If it weren't for the alarm-raising, I wouldn't have noticed Uber's, H's, or probably even Zylka's...oh well, Apolyton must be sensitive and cuddly-fuzzy I guess
