I completely agree with you as they are potentially insulting to people of the community, some of whom are very young: it is only against the rules if someone finds it insulting and they refuse to take it down.

If I see someone making one:

1. I warn them and tell them to stop
2. If they continue, I ban them for an hour (server ban)
3. If I see them continuing to make them on a different server I will apply for a ban.

Making swastikas is unproductive for gameplay, it is a team game and have no purpose for being built.

 

griefers do what griefers do. it's annoying but you have to deal with it or else you'll just get kicked. some people are just plain retarded. what you should do is go to the irc and report them there.

 

I tried to do that but was unnefective, i just wish nobody ruin this game with their idiocy, also i was not the adim server,( and i tried to talk to another player but without any sucess i talk to the admim of that server a whille ago, and he is going to helpe me , he is a great guy:)

Thanks for your time:)

Thing is that it isn't considered against the rules unless somebody voices that they think it's offensive however you'd also need the agreement of the admin as well but in some cases the admin even joins in....

 

Dont hate on the symbol. Its a great one.
However, if they link it towards the nazies then it may be inappropriate.

 

Its usually presumed if they build one ontop of the base, its to offend.

 

I know but unfortely the adim was't there in that game:( but ther real problem herer is the symbolism, its ofensive, have a dark history , have they should have more respect about other gamers, griffing is bad, but put this type of symbolism is far worst.

 

It's not the symbol itself that is offensive, actually it played a massive part it society today not to mention the brilliantly efficient economy Germany have because of it. Its the fact people build it with intention to offend that is the main problem, it can also be considered greifing as it wastes resources and space where a tower or something more productive could be.

 

I know the symbol origins and the different of the nazi and the hindu one and trust me that was a nazy symbol:( ...

You are right sir, but we need to consider hte pass of is symbologie, what he represents and what he signifie

 

just dont jump to conclusions. If some1 built a master tower and wanted it to look pretty they might do that symbol as it is simple.
Once again, it may just be for entertainment not harassment.

But according to u it wasint, so action should probably be taken.

 

Overall I believe there needs to be a stricter ban system for these kind of things, same with crosses and ladder towesrs as they're meant to either offend or annoy players aswell as it considered greifing as explained in previous posts. I'm sure Van can vouch when I say some admins condoning this type of behavior is far worse than just one player doing it. Edit: Its also quite obvious that they're doing to cause issues considering most of them will repair or break things to retain the original image, if they've done it for decoration presumably they wouldn't mind if somebody took it down because they find it offensive.

 

The worst was that that guy was warnd and is symbol was destroy, but he just make it again!

 

Nazi symbols are hurtful to some players. They should not be tolerated. KAG is going on Steam, it's time for it to grow up and be mature.

 

But was not this, case the adim help me :) And i am gratefull for is actions...And yes i think you are right with a stricer ban system

 

Im just defending the symbol here. My countries flag gets discriminated and i hate it when other shit like that happens.
Best thing would be to warn him, then take a screen shot of his name and post it on forums to get him banned.

 

I would like to remind everyone that KAG is not minecraft or any other similar sandbox game. The game main point isn't to build fancy towers or tiny houses, it's to beat your opponents in the field of war (in CTF that's the point at least).

I would also like to say that there is no property in KAG. If someone destroy your pretty little swastika or anything of the sort (outside of sandbox mode), don't be mad. You shouldn't be screwing around while your comrade battle nor wasting resources. If you built a shelter in Zombie fortress, share it. The point of playing multiplayer zombie fortress is to survive together.


Sorry about digressing from the topic a bit, but I thought this issue should be address since it's somewhat related.

 

I know what you feel, same thing's here, and i warn him , and i think is name is xdiaddi.

 

It has already been mentioned.

 

The game is to have fun. If u want intense war then join the gather. I can see how if the symbol gets spammed at shit places it may be seen as griefing. But ontop/behind a tower as back ground wont do anything.
