Sorry Swap Fox...

Looks like the post regarding your avatar has been removed. No doubt, the person who complained the first time did so again rather the discuss it openly. Instead of deleting it.why not simply move to the Off Topic section?

That is not the American way. If we are going to censor for "offensive comments" what is the point of free speech?

This is a website. Not a country. This website has guidelines. Nothing that can be construed as racism is allowed here and it has never been allowed here in fact. The flag in question is not as innocent as you and some other people make it out to be. Free speech exists here. As long as it is within our guidelines. Our rules. You cannot go to a neighbors house for a visit and start yelling that you want to shag their pet dog and then go flail around about your 'free speech' when they throw you out with a black eye. Just like in that example you are guests here. And by coming in the door when registering you agree to abide by the guidelines or the rules of the house.

Any further use of that flag and ignoring our rules will result in a long suspension.

The flag in question is used by white supremacists and white nationalists. Did you know the swastika was once a symbol of good luck and good will prior to the Nazis perversion of it? Would you ignore what it represents now and claim that it is just a symbol of good luck and act surprised and bewildered if someone didn't want a swastika avatar on an elvis forum? You are doing the exact same thing with the B.R. flag. It once had a very noble meaning. But not anymore since racists and nationalists perverted it the same way the Nazis perverted their symbol.

Any further use of that flag and ignoring our rules will result in a long suspension.
