Is using 'Hitler', 'Adolf' or anything else like that offensive?

If yes, is it so offensive that it should be censored?

If yes, should the culprit be placed under house arrest or merely blackmailed with bogus prosecutions for tax offenses?

The most self-loathing statement is "I am offended by that". Whenever anyone uses something along similar lines, they prove themselves base, saving me the effort.

The owners of the site can ban anyone they want. If there is a name that causes a stir in the community, then the owners may ban that name; but offer the user the option to make a new account and new name.

There are more names that get censored than just Hitler and Adolf, btw.

-----I was told by Greek Dog.. This is an off-topic forum from CC. Topics. So maybe your talking about. Facebook accounts etc.etc. However. as for as CC goes. This topic has already been addressed and locked. In Removing players..General Discussion. By Qwert. That is what made me write my first post EVER. I'll defend free speech..always. I will say one thing. In 3,000 years from now. Adolf will be a popular name again. For Joshua a Jewish genocider. Did to the Canaanites .What the US Government did to the Native Americans. Wipe people out in the name of God and take over their land. Stalin was 10 times the monster Hitler was. By the time Stalin left office. Hitler would say something like banning. Book burning etc. When his name is lost in History. Because we are quick to ban and forget. That is when another Hitler will rise up and bite us in the ass. Instead he should be joked about always. The laughing stock of HISTORY... ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion).

What about if I say "I find that distasteful"?

Voted yes btw.

Also I voted yes on the premise that I can ruthlessly mock them for being stupidly childish and exceptionally uncreative.

It depends on what you mean by that. There are 3 components to any message: what the sender intends, the actual words used and what the hearer perceives.

To me the middle portion doesn't matter. If I say bitch or AoG, and they both mean the same thing, then it really doesn't matter.

Well if you were to show me a picture of two gay men having sex I would find that distasteful. Not because I have any issue with two gay men having sex, but simply because that does not suit my taste.

Similarly if you say you think a womans place is in the kitchen then I will find that to distasteful. This time I probably will take issue with misogyny, but that's because typically in misogynic relationships there is an element of exploitation and/or power asymmetry.

I find a lot of people state they are offended don't really mean they are offended, but are simply trying to communicate their dislike and ensuring that dislike is widely recognized (along with whatever they dislike being publicized).

-----Ha,Ha, now that's rich. If you put women back in the kitchen ,where they belong. You would open up the job market by 50%. Thanks to Rosie the Riveter. The American family and structure has never been the same. American kids have been running wild ever since. Where as in other cultures,Asian,Hispanic. There is more of a family base,tradition and respect. It all starts at home. In America both parents work. If there are two parents in the picture. The kids raise themselves. If we all could have Charlie's family from Willy Wonka. America would be a happier place. ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion).

What if you marry a woman who has a higher earning potential than you? Do you forego a better life because of convention?

Usernames should be censored exactly as much as any general content should be censored. If the site is geared towards children, education, or functions as a proper professional setting, they have the right to ban any content they deem as offensive.

The only stated rules of this forum are the community guidelines, so it depends. Is the name Adolf Hilter violating the rules of the forum?

Trolling? Maybe, depending on the intent.
Bigoted? Not in and of itself, once again it depends on the context.

If a name itself meant anything offensive without context, we would have to censor history books and articles. If the user is using it for satire, or playing a character for historically themed matches, I say it's acceptable under the rules. If they obviously have genuine admiration for Hitler's ideals and are promoting anything bigoted, them ban them for bigotry.

Then again, from what I've been seeing in some threads lately, is it even possible to get banned for forum related offenses anymore?

I guess I'll have to do the dishes then. And cook. But there would be some things that I will not do because I can't do them. I may have to work during those times.

Of course I could always run for political office.

Why don't you help raise "them"? You seem to have the biggest issue with "them".

If you aint part of the solution you are part of the problem?
