If there was ever a need to justify the forum's no tolerance policy explained here we're seeing it now...
Took me a minute to figure out you weren't talking about the forums . . .

Does anyone else find it ironic that Robot Monkey had 1939 posts when he was banned?

Oh No...

Also If I started something, I am deeply sorry. I have a good feeling the forum no tolerance policy was cited against me. I had a question, and I took it too far.

I don't think you did anything wrong. I think Brag was talking about what happened at the U.S. Capitol.

I'm sorry if this seems like a dumb question, but is anything that has N@zi symbols (i.e. swastikas, the double lightning SS symbol, the Iron Cross, the Black Sun, etc.) on it unacceptable? Regardless of whether it's a mockery or something completely unrelated to the N@zis at all?

Also, I have an as-of-yet unreleased Faction that is heavily inspired by the Wermacht (German Military), to the point of using historical weaponry and vehicles for my faction. But, they are in no way aligned with the N@zi party or their beliefs. Is this something that would not allowed? Simply because the Wermacht was the military of the N@zis?

Im not sure if the others share my opinion but, I think using historical aesthetics in your armies are fine (What would I do without mah spiked helmets) but actually placing imagery of the Nazis is were I personally draw the line.

so in short:
-Grey Uniforms and Tanks, similar style of tanks and gunz Okay

-Fockin swastikas everywhere, No Good

at least, that's what I think

Pretty sure this has been answered previously in the thread. But really you need to realize that if you're asking "how close can I get?" you probably shouldn't be doing it.

If symbols used by the N@zis are not allowed to be used at all even if it doesn't have anything to do with the N@zis? I just read the entire thread, and couldn't find a post talking about that. Unless you count Natalya's post: (Also, I have no plans for showing something that has any N@zi symbols on it, I was just curious.)

No swastikas. AZKAMAT got b& because his shit was like over the top, he had swastika stickers, and he incorporated anti-semitic jokes too. There wasn't like room for interpretation with what he was doing.

That's not my question at all. My faction has no N@zi symbols or imagery, and aren't racist or have a superiority complex or think they are the "master race", etc. They are merely inspired by the Wermacht.

Afraid so. We used to have lots of nazi-mocking parody factions on here. It seemed harmless and funny enough for the first couple of years, but a lot of it turned out to be joking-not-joking (because of course it did), and all of it helped normalize nazi shit and attracted relentless brigading from the "but you kind of have to admit the nazis had a point though rite" sea lion crowd. So now we don't do that anymore.

It's hard to avoid wehrmacht design influences entirely - probably 99% of all wargames are about beating up either germans, fascists, or german fascists one way or another. Just be aware that there are something like 100 unhinged mods on this forum who are all looking for excuses to get drunk and start banning anybody who even smells wehraboo, so whatever you do is always going to be a roll of the dice.

Which is not to say that there's anything wrong with fighting nazis in your home games! Some of the best early brikwars battles were straight-faced historical Western Front scenarios, played seriously by serious wargamers with extremely serious facial expressions. But we've made the decision that we don't have that material here on the forums or in the discord, because of the type of attention it attracts, and because of the type of community we've decided we want to maintain.

Bear in mind that the Wehrmacht in itself was never ideologically separate from the nazi party, no matter the amount of historical revisionism.
