Since it's over I'm gonna be entirely honest too:
First: At first time, I had no clue that nazism was even banable, so I thought that drawing simbols, wich finished to be an inverted Swastika, would have any kind of problem.
Second: I never thought that someone would get so much offended with such thing? I really had no clue people would react to this, in such a bad way to happen this ban. I never talked about such subject with anyone from Germany or these affected countries.
Third: I mentioned his name?? Well I don't remember it but I know we started tallking about those things when someone said it was banable and then Azarael came in the game.
Well ok, decision's taken, I Feel horribly bad, but so be it, that's how life is.
Good bye, gl with the server, I had fun a lot of times there, thanks.

Are you sure you don't want to give him a last chance? He's being honest and doesn't insult us, and it's hardly believable that he didn't hear about the WW2 and the swastika but it's possible. 6 months-ban sounds good to me. He will have time to study it

The crux of his argument was that he is not a proponent of Nazism. When a variant name of Hitler was found in his nick list, this argument was destroyed.

Well, until the "Hitler" thing I guess I would have defended him in a way of declaring it as major stupidity.
It is a true thing, that in other cultures the swastika even as of today is used, though the left facing version of it. I was surprised seeing it out of the blue tons of times when going to Japan 1 1/2 years ago, and even today, being a japan studies student, I sometimes feel a bit uneasy when seeing it, but I grew accepting the pre-Nazi history of that symbol that still lives on elsewhere.
But well ... when naming yourself Hitler, it's not just major stupidity, but even beyond that. Before doing such a thing, anyone should at least inform themselves about the historic dimension of using that name, "car"-drawing that sign and so on. It is not just Germany, where the symbols use is officially banned, except for documentary and educational purposes, but also the majority of the European countries, as to where that symbol is connected with a cruel, bloody past and whose feelings might be shaken when seeing that thing.
Even satire, which is said to "be allowed anything", always needs to treat this topic with care. So, not informing ownselves about neither the swastika nor what the use of the name "Hitler" could have as consequences ... and declaring it as "fun" ... if that really was out of unknowing, then - I beg your pardon - that is such a stupidity, that I would rip out my brain from

ing to it. Though by the quote "I hope it is not seen as such or such a way" you at least DID have a slight clue about what you just did.
Therefore I can't see any reason trying to defend anymore.
my 50 cent,

Michael: I hope no one takes this seriously and comes with shit saying we are anti-semitic
Even more lulzworthy when you take the 'HEINS_HITTLER' name into account.

Regarding player evolution (swastika is Nazi??? -> swastika is Nazi but is it bannable??? -> HEINS_HITTLER) I think there is no reason to defend him.

I don't see any reason for doing such thing, like naming myself, and I don't remember doing so, and if I did was for plain stupidity.
Now I got surprised at myself...
