thank you colton
this petition is due PoD's signature of the Nazi Flag and many other racist images this is not just for HIS signature it is also for all racist and offensive material the mods bann people for swearing and that is far less offensive (in my opinion) then the images some people are portraying on here
ONLY SIGN IF YOU WANT ANY AND ALL racist images removed this is not a personal vendetta for PoD this is for all images that includes the confederate flag the swastika the kkk symbols all of it

And what does this have to do with ingame activity?
If you're gonna continue this PoD campaign then at least do it in the right section.

My opinion on the matter is that, if this player wants to play the game roleplaying as an evil being, that's his playing style and I wouldn't have the right to force my style onto him.
As for the sig itself..

Honestly, by oppressing any and all images from yourself and those around you that at one point in history, represented hate, torture, and death.. you're not only taking away the ability for people to learn from humanity's mistakes, but also in the end, you lose. You lose because deep down your feelings of being "offended" can translate into simple fear. Fear of that.. "system" being brought back into the world. Let me ask you something, how did the Nazi's control people?
If you feel offended by something on these forums, there is ALWAYS the Foe List, and I'm sure it wouldn't take more than five minutes to go find a decent image blocker. If that doesn't satisfy you, there is always in-game justice, if you're into that sort of thing

It was on the top of this section tho. So there was no point in bumping it.
And why has a mod not moved this to the right section?
This is CLEARLY a Forum issue not an ingame issue.

i know alot of people from the south that dont really see the confederate flag as racist. i went to school with alot of people (granted my school was mostly cowboys or whatever the preferred term for those carhart clad chaps is) that just saw it as a flag from where they were from and there family bloodline. Not everyone who flew that flag was slavers or slavery supporters doesnt seem fair to group that one in there.

Hi.
Please note that the admin are still debating this particular signature.
Obviously this will take too much time for some people, but our eventual outcome will hopefully enable us to create some kind of precedent on issues of this nature.
Thank you for your patience, or lack thereof.
