Simply using the name Hitler is not racist, it was the associate political and social views.

If I made a faction called Mao's Army, would the families of the 50 million Chinese that died under the Cultural Revolution complain about it? Perhaps. That's why I said it was ON THE LINE, meaning if no one is particuarly offended, it's not a big issue, if someone is (as Walrus was) it should be looked at.

But speking of Nazi and Hitler is not funny for Germans

*scratches his head* "Hitler" is a name. "Nazi" is a buzzword.

If he had said "Nazi Army" I would be the first to /ban.

What if his name was actually Hitler in real life (Few do it, but it is known to happen).

I merely want to distinguish between what IS (a faction called: Hitler'sArmy) and what IS NOT (A concentration camp with the swastika flying and people in the faction blurting out racist or hateful messages).

There is a difference. *sigh* Forget it, I'll just have to amuse myself at the hypocracy of being allowed to name a faction "Bush's Army". Thank God there aren't any Iraqis or Afghans around to say I'm being racist

Seriously, we are going to nerf a fucking NAME because someone who had that name did some bad shit in the past? There's a pretty long list of people, with names, that did some bad shit! Should be not use ANY of them? Seriously.... wtf.

you don't have to ban him.
just tell him to change the faction name.

im with arashi om this one, it just shows how political correctness has gone wrong when the name "Hitler" is seen as racist i mean i can see how "Nazis" can be seen to be offensive but Hitler is just a name so shouldn't the faction only be judged upon what actions they take with the name?

while i dont see how this is ban-worthy, i agree with walrus. its not something you should do. i think that the worst offense here is from changing the name from "nazies" (COULD be seen as racist) to "Hitlers Army", as its just as easy to get offended by, but harder to condemn as truly "racist". while i dont think a ban is neccisary, they should not be allowed to walk away from this unpunished
