Removal request of several flags

[Rasbelin]

As the flags proposed were denied, I will ask for the equality that the following flags would be removed from Poly's flag collection as they don't fill the requirements stated by Dan in the response to the request for new flags. I ask the removal as that would mean all flags would be treated equally and there wouldn't be any double standards.

Second, the tribes of the Finno-Ugric languages are not recognized nations.

This means the Sami flag doesn't belong on Poly as no other tribal flags used by speakers of Finno-Ugric languages are accepted on Poly. Otherwise this would mean a controversial and discriminative situation, but also double standards. Refering to the same criterias that excluded tribal flags that aren't of recognised countries, I also demand the removal of the Aboriginal and Maori flags from Poly as they aren't flags of recognised countries or in general recognised flags.

Rasbelin... You do know that they can do WHATEVER they want to since they own the site

You really should give it a rest... But I won't close this thread... I will leave it up to the owners to respond...

Really? I thought this site is no one's land. I already declared Livonian ownership of forum chatroom, but somehow Tass and Wombat burned the flag twice after I rised it to full mast in the chatroom. I then had to remove it permanently as Markos got there.

A) You will get your 18 some odd flags added.

B) You will get these other flags removed.

C) This thread will get locked.

If I was a betting man, I would go with C.

Rasbelin,

If you want your flags, just draw them out yourself and use those as your avatar. What seems to be the problem?

[Rasbelin]

If I use the falg as my avatar picture, I can't use my real avatar. It's that simple. And those flags would have IMHO deserved to be included, but as things went different, I'm demanding the removal of these 3 flags as it's an equality issue too.

The Sami flag has a semi-official status in Norway (probably in Sweden & Finland as well), kind of like the English, Scottish and Welsh flags have in the UK. Same goes for the Aboriginal flag in Australia methinks.

So if you remove the Sami flag, it's logical to remove other sub-national flags as well.

[Rasbelin]

Gangerolf, read my "Rasbey's flag initiative" thread. As a Swede you can read also those untranslated law paragraphs from the Swedish law. BTW, the falg doesn't have an official status in Norway. And the Aboriginal flag is just a tribal flag. So my arguement to remove the Sami flag too is leakproof compared to keeping it in the flag collection.

Get rid of all flags except the EU and US ones.

That'll get rid of all them fence sitters!

The temptation to use the Libyan flag is incredible. You justcan't beat the imagination of those guys...

Wow. rasbelin, i think you've taken political correctness way way WAY too far. Tiny little flags on a website are now an equality issue....that worries me.

Another "who cares" issue...

Hey Ras, your giant title distorts the thread BTW.

What is all that stuff anyway?

[Straybow]

I come from Pittsburgh. I want the Pittsburgh flag included. It goes back almost 250 years, predating most of these national or tribal flags. It looks cool, too.

I'm curious: in the quote in the first post, what were the first (and maybe third, fourth, etc.) reasons given by Dan?

Also, I demand that we have a Burger King flag, since their hamburgers are clearly superior to McDonald's hamburgers.
