I think it's all about context; each situation judged accordingly.
A blanket ban would kinda feel like a continuation of America's retards pulling down statues.
Honestly I wouldn't imagine anyone getting upset by this until now, but it's good foresight to avert any future situations where something isn't done in good fun, like an avatar with only a swastika or the symbol for planned parenthood.

This instance seems geared more to the tongue in cheek 'all in good' fun category.
It's like trying to ban poor taste.

Good luck.
You'd be better off trying to delete the internet.

My opinion is that such jokes harm the site much more than they are funny. And I recognize this was an attempt at humiliating another user, not promoting the ideology. It's still not very funny and simply is one more thing unbecoming to members and guests alike.



Also on the topic of of certain behavior...
Y'all can be angry with me, but I'd like to see an end to the random bikini women that have popped up in the last months. I thumb through the site at work or even just in public and don't need everyone assuming I'm porn watching when I'm reading mma and news articles.
Thread about motorcycles...random womans ass in a thong. Keep that shit in the relevant threads so it can be navigated around.
Well, shit. That's your call, so that's the way it will be. (re: girl pics)

Jeez.

The swastika is indeed poor taste but that's the point. We've also had Registered Sex offender, cum farts and all kinds of offensive SNs and avatars so why the fuss now? The majority of SN bet losers end up with something homophobic generally speaking, can't recall a time this was frowned upon.

As far as the bikini girls that Splinty @Splinty is referring to it may be shit posting in the sense it's not related to the thread topic but I'd never see it as a problem. Having said that I never use a PC to view the site so I don't have worry about others creeping on my screen and judging. I'm more annoyed at a thread having three or four members go back and forth with random bullshit for pages on end.

Either way when staff start to mod members posts one group will claim censorship and get upset. Then we relax a bit and a handful of members will keep pushing the limits while reporting each other for the same shitty behavior.

I started doing it on another forum. One typically would post "TTT" to get in a thread or bring it to the top or whatever, but I accomplished the same by posting a chick in a bikini. To me, it was a better way to TTT. I'm not running this operation, so I got no say.

You're just fishing for positive ratings you porn-addicted prevert.

Create a poll and put it to a vote. Let the members decide. TMMAC democracy in action.
Might be a good idea to hash out some clear definitions before holding a vote. The term "racist" has an every expanding umbrella as of late.

to me this is the difference .are you laughing at or trivializing hitler or nazis in a way that makes them into a joke or are you promoting a nazi ideology ?if you cant even joke about things then this will become a no fun forum. no one wants this to be a stormfront but that is not what is happening here. if you cant post a swastika what about posting a hammer and sickle? are we going to ban that too? are we going to ban everything that might offend someone? good luck with that. people need to get thicker skin and not be offended by everything these days. this is the internet. no one is making you be here

Yeah, agree...could potentially open a can of worms.

Just read your other post above and you covered it better than I could anyway.
