Our moderation team really likes to go after these relatively, stupid inconsequential and meaningless things instead of doing actual moderation.

You can't have gifs that lag mobile browsers.
Or do you just like complaining?
1wolf..
and here I thought I was a bad writer..
haha..
You gotta make a point buddy, this post does not take a stance, and your message is unclear.

It's an odd world when I find myself thinking that novus, demik, and pai_crai are the voices of reason in here. Demik was always the speaker of truf, but more have joined those ranks.
It's sad to see all the dismissiveness when it's a legit question. There's a lot of picking and choosing what to enforce lately, even if some of my posts would fall under that for pictures with swear words. Some if the most disruptive members were rightfully banned, but they also kept some of the ridiculousness on the other extreme in check.
Anyways, keep challenging the status quo to make this place better. And most of the offenders are great people, the jokes are just a little too far.
Do we support white supremacy and all the various Nazi atrocities?
I have to admit that at the time, I was using my gifs to make a point about low value posts in the other boards.You saw low value posts and thought the best thing to do is annoy the crap out of everyone with massive gifs in your signature? You've lost me. And yeah, don't make new posts...?? Confusion continues...
It was a very in your face way of reminding you that just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. Consideration goes a long way and that includes not starting a new post when you can use an existing one.
Another sub-point was something like this - it's really hard to browse through the keyboard section on a mobile device when it's cluttered with a bunch of low value posts like what keyboard should I buy, is razer good?
I'm not easily offended.
I just hate inconsistency. People can have all the nazi **** they want. They are the ones that look like idiots.
BUT DONT TURN AROUND AND REMOVE PICTURES OF WEED OR GIRLS IN BIKINIS AND SITE THE ****ING RULES. Either everybody gets offended or nobody gets offended.
I vote for toughen the **** up its the Internet. I get the mods wanting to have a "safe" environment because we have Tweens and old ****s that act like Tweens but **** be consistent.
For all avatars, signatures, images or links to images, videos, etc. must not include any of the below descriptions:

2nd on the weed pics (bud 'n caps.) Some of you don't like it which is why it had it's own subforum here, till a few pricks had to go and ruin the fun for everyone else. If it's not in the general pool and you have to go out of your way to access it, what kind of **** move is it to complain about it?
am i being trolled here?nope, people think that mods are all seeing beings and that this is their full time job. So they never just miss something, that's just them being intentionally malicious
these last 2 years, i honestly thought the anti-mod team complaints were buddy-buddy jokes. they were legit serious the whole time?

Creepy is coming to a keyboard forum and read about 20 or mid 20 aged boys nazi opinions. Avatars which should be edgy and cool, and stupid opinions on races. Definitely ****ty. /pol/ seems to be strong here :(
Opening Post was confusing and not exactly well written.
As for Hitler and Nazi avatars, I don�t even understand what�s wrong. They aren�t against the law in most countries. They aren�t even being used in an intimidating fashion � eg not paired with anti Jewish slogans.
17mb signature would be quite irritating.
As for Hitler, I am really tired of the masturbatory 70th anniversary end of WW2 BS festivities ongoing in the Western press now. These are being conducted by the winners of WW2 to keep on asserting their supremacy and legitimacy over the rest of the world. Fact is, every person good or bad has his own impact on the world (often unintended). Hitler was an evil and deluded person, but he did the majority of the human race (a majority that in fact he despised) a lot of unintended good.
If Hitler hadn�t caused chaos in Europe, sapped the strength of European empires, forced the USA to come out of isolation and reform the world system including imposing free trade agreements and twisting reluctant European arms into decolonization, the vast majority of the human race could still be downtrodden by colonial masters.

Ok so the only actual issue anyone seems to have is consistency... which is something we would all like, hell when I asked about a thread being approved hoff chewed me a new ******* and then ekw808 sent me a friendly pm about it.

Sorry about that, that was my fault. I was particularly irritable at that time, and we've had countless people ignore the rules and then complain so it was an "oh another one of these" moment for me. I should have sent you a PM. That said, you also should have sent a mod a PM. ;)

I wanted to make an apology post.enjoy your multiculturalism sweetie;)
I honestly wasn't trying to be some edgy teenager by making Rommel my profile picture.
Rommel and his Afrika Korps were never charged with a war crime and consistently denied orders to kill Jewish soldiers and civilians that they came across. Rommel wasn't a Nazi, he was a German man that fought for his country; similar to Robert E. Lee in the American Civil War.
I apologize to anyone I offended and I hope you don't imagine me as some deranged neonazi because I am not one.
it's so nice to have a functioning ignore list here. saves traffic and time from being wasted on 17mb signature gifs or retarded teenagers' avatars and posts.you'd be surprised at how many functioning, voting adults can do worse

Wife's bike got stolen. Bye bye five hundred pounds.I hope you're enjoying the multiculturalism of your new home :) :) :)
Sorry, got a bit distracted there. I actually intended to just make a 1-line post which directly addressed the OP :
If someone has a Nazi-related avatar that does not make them a white supremacist. It does not even mean they support/agree with any of the Nazis actions. Don't make assumptions like that.
I respect the KKK because they love their people.The two really cannot be compared.
And while the Nazi's did some good and the Blitz has helped the UK's big cites with town planning, they also went about committing the worst genoside (?) in recorded history.I clearly said that the Nazis did horrific things, and that Hitler had serious mental problems and did terrible things.
It's like how old Italians glorify Musolini and the famous fact that the trains always ran on time, and then forget that he brutally murdered anyone in his path.
Like let's be ****ing real and have some perspective.
If you pic the picture of a Nazi general in full uniform, then people will associate you with said Nazi and Nazism.I wouldn't associate somebody with a Nazi uniform with Nazism. I would think that the reasons behind the avatar were more complex than "Woo, Nazism!". I wouldn't make an assumption with so little information.
creepy
You bring up the U.S. and compare it to nazi Germany. Remind me what the Jews did to Germans that warranted the genocide. Compared to us and ISIL. See I would have agreed with you if you would have brought up the systematic elimination of native americans.. But then I remembered that was British immigrants.Firstly, I did not mean to imply that my education was better than anyone in this thread. I was just saying how biased the British and American education system is when it comes to the Nazis.
But my education is obviously not on par with yours.
Dude that's exactly what you implied. Even singling out your specific school.As I said, I really did not mean to imply that at all. Until recently I thought everyone was taught the same things I was when it came to the Nazis. It's become apparent to me that isn't the case, and that I was lucky to not receive the same amount of bias. I can safely say that (perhaps outside of my History lessons) my education is on par with state educated children in Britain.
And let's not fool ourselves here, the UK/Europe has as much oil blood on their hands as the U.S. does.
Ha the fact you think public school is only for the upper classes shows how young you are, or brainwashed...I never said that. I said public school is where all the upper class kids go. I didn't say that nobody outside the upper class went to them.
I think it's clear that my education was far different from most other people in this thread. I was taught about the horrific things that the Nazis did, but also about the amazing things they did for their country & people. It seems that most other people have been brainwashed into thinking that the Nazis were pure evil, and the worst group of people in the history of mankind. It really sickens me how biased the education system is in America & Britain (excluding my school, apparently). Instead of pointing out what the Nazis did wrong and what they did right, then trying to learn from those things, we just brainwash our population into thinking they were pure evil from an early age. Anyone who says otherwise is branded as anti-semitic, racist, and a monster. Any media which says otherwise is branded as extremist. Banning Nazi-related avatars is no better than this.god what the **** am i reading
If bad groups of people = offensive groups of people, then you should find my current avatar FAR more offensive than any Nazi-related avatar. Barack Obama - the face of the US Government. The most horrific, unethical, monstrous group of people that's existed in the past few hundred years. A group of people that has decimated and torn apart countries just to line their own pockets. A group of people who is in the process of ripping their own country apart. Again, just to line their own pockets. You say 6,000,000 Jews (a grossly exaggerated figure), I say 6,000,000 Libyans.
I saw billnye apologizing for his Rommel avatar. Firstly, I would like to give a reason for me having Hitler as my avatar. It was because, iirc, I lost a bet. I won't use that to defend myself though, as I probably would have had him as my profile picture at some point even if it weren't for that. While I agree with most people - Hitler had some pretty serious mental problems and did some pretty ****ty things, I have a tremendous amount of admiration for the way he came to power, and his intentions for his country and people. You cannot deny he loved his country and his people, and you cannot deny that while he was in power (until before the start of WW2) he transformed his country into a powerhouse against all odds.
I will not apologize for having Hitler as my avatar. If you were offended by a picture of a person who died 70 years ago then you deserve to be offended. :)
I'm sure I'll be branded as a racist anti-semite for this post. Frankly, I do not care. I would rather be branded as such than surrender my opinions to political correctness.
Then you'd also be wrong about that :)I'm talking about public schools specifically, e.g Eton. I don't mean private schools or independent schools, but rather the more expensive, more elite public schools.
god what the **** am i readingRight on time! ;D

OMFG.Well, can you deny it? Just the same as I cannot deny that he did terrible, terrible, unjustifiable things, I don't think you can.

Dear berserkfan the fact that nazi's crimes against mankind, cause this is what they are not simply something someone 'don't like' or 'aren't cool', are not the only one in the history don't makes Hitler a good guy or simply an old story we can forget
What a cluster **** this thread has turned into...(Not that it wasn't one at the start) :))

I guess that's what happens when you call out a bunch of Hitler fans eh? Lmao
I guess that's what happens when you call out a bunch of Hitler fans eh? LmaoOh go away. I'm not a fan of Hitler. I respect some (that word is very important) of the things he did, and I think he was a brilliant public speaker. I am NOT a fan of him on the whole, and I do not respect him on the whole.
I'm an idiot or a troll for not sharing the same opinion as you and having very little interest in discussing it?
Or another option, I'm off the opinion Hitler had no redeeming features.... Except his dreamy eyes ofc *O*

Hitler did have good taste in women
White girls <3
Tufty: so you are saying you don't believe Hitler had great demagogic skill? To me this is an intelligence. I do not presume to know how economically intelligent Hitler was.Of course he was a demagogue, but I really don't think he was all that intelligent. That's not what I was arguing anyway - Photekq claimed Hitler was some sort of economic genius, having turned Germany into a powerhouse, and that this was somehow worthy of respect.
Maybe you should use the Report feature for these "offensive" posts instead of *****ing like a 12 year old girl? Not removing certain images or threads about downloading content is not the end of the world. I personally don't engage in or condone either, but it's as simple as ignoring it. This is the Internet, there will always be something you don't like and the moderation staff can only catch so much. Remember too that they have to use their own judgment to take action and you probably won't always agree with that.ahhahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahhahahhahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
But don't be a prick. Don't have a history of being an obnoxious poster and post 17 Mb gifs, then get butt hurt when they are removed and try to tattle on other people. Man up and deal with your **** first. Don't try to attribute psuedo-racism to the moderating staff just because you don't like having action taken against your post but not others. If you do, you come off like a *****y little kid stomping his feet that has no appreciation for the true impact of his accusations. I would hope that if you had a better understanding of the impact of actual racism or discrimination, you'd be able to recognize it when it actually did occur and not just when you want to find something to complain about.

A lot of people think Hitler was a great economist when he actually happened to �do the right thing� (for most unemployed Germans) by using the wealth of an ethnic minority to fund it.Not initially.
I dislike it when people don’t make the effort to read my posts and understand the complexity and nuances and breadth of what I am saying.PM sent
Like most Europeans pasph has this annoying habit of saying how evil the Nazis/ Germans were -and deliberately shy away from any honest talk about evil in perspective (which is far from a Nazi or German thing).
Incidentally, Mussolini used concentration camps and death marches on Libyans 6 years before Hitler came to power, and wiped out 1/3 of Cyrenica. Mussolini started a Lebensraum movement on Libya in 1937, before Hitler invaded Poland to do the same. He evicted lots of Libyans to make room for colonists to farm. Today Italians are still electing Mussolini’s clan into power. Thanks to having switched sides at the right moment the Italians got away without having to be denazified/ de-fascisted.
Unless you are an European from one of the ‘bullied small guys’ eg Ireland/ Latvia/ Slovakia or one of the Scandinavian countries, don’t let me hear you talk about how uniquely bad Hitler was or I will pull examples of systematic genocide, large scale anti-Semitism, ethnic cleansing, etc from your own (conveniently forgotten) history.
Incidentally, Hitler played the Good Guy when Mussolini invaded Ethiopia. IIRC he was the only Western power to send aid to the Ethiopians. In contrast the ‘good guys’ who have currently written history, UK and France, were very quick to recognize Italian rule over Ethiopia and fell over each other to get sanctions against Italy (imposed by the League of Nations) lifted so that they could get back to normal business exporting to Italy.
The lesson I get from European history is not that ‘Hitler is evil’, but that ‘be on the side of the victors and you can write all the propaganda you want’. I wonder how many people realize that the English colonized, enslaved and genocided the Irish for hundreds of years before the IRA harmed a single English hair. There were a lot of vile Englishmen who, thanks to being on the winning side of history, don’t get bad press unlike Hitler.
Tufty, I love your economics discussion about Hitler’s policies. A lot of people think Hitler was a great economist when he actually happened to ‘do the right thing’ (for most unemployed Germans) by using the wealth of an ethnic minority to fund it. He could have 'done the right thing' by using the wealth of all wealthy Germans to help out the impoverished German masses who were genuinely desperate at that time, but that would have been Communist and therefore 'Evil'...
what great did hitler do to his nation? let's probably start with this little war that cost Germany over 7 million lives.
Only to cut unemployment! He really is an economic genius!
By the time WW2 started he had transformed his country into a powerhouse
