I think it's ridiculous. There are plenty of other symbols just as bad that aren't being banned. What about all the dicks that people make, not just in this game but in Halo and in Modern Warfare? I even saw one the other day that had a dick ejaculating on a vagina! Yet I'm sure these people will not be banned.
If Microsoft is going to dictate what we use as symbols then they need to ban all the vulgar and hateful ones.
I guess I'll make one now that has a plane crashing into two towers and see what they think about that. (not really, but you get what I'm saying here)
you can report the emblems you do not like. if you cant understand what they are saying when they say
Quote:"It?s not political correctness, it?s fundamental respect. If you think the swastika symbol should be re-evaluated by societies all over the Earth, I think that?s great. Your Xbox LIVE profile or in game logo, which doesn?t have the context to explain your goal, is not the right place to do that. And by the way, that doesn't just go for the Swastika, it applies to many other symbols as well that my team does indeed take action on when we see it."
then your not that smart me thinks
oh and i think the opening paragraph of the article was directed at you:
Quote:If you read that headline and think, "Duh, that's obvious," congratulations: You're not an idiot. For everyone else, Microsoft has made it expressly clear that if you use a swastika as your multiplayer symbol in Call of Duty: Black Ops, you will be banned from Xbox Live.
of course i expect to see you back here next time ms does a banwave saying "OMG MS banned me they are so stupid i will show them"
No I don't use the symbol. I sold my modded console and don't really care. All I'm saying is that it seems stupid they would ban people for making a symbol when there are plenty of other ones out there that people make that seem worse than a swastika. Example, dicks and animals f******, etc. If they are going to ban for something offensive then they should ban everything offensive.
I could care less about what someones stupid symbol is in a video game, I'm not offended at all. I also don't go around reporting people for acting like idiots, who cares if they want that symbol or say something bad.
The whole point of my post was to say if the swastika is bad then why is ok to have other vulgar and offensive symbols?
And I also don't appreciate you acting as if I hadn't read the article. I was just making a point jack ass. Besides, I've never been banned and I don't plan on it ever happening. If you have some other smart ass remarks to make go f*** yourself.
You are acting like they have no intention of policing the other emblems when it clearly says:
Quote:And by the way, that doesn't just go for the Swastika, it applies to many other symbols as well that my team does indeed take action on when we see it."
they are only speaking out on the swastika because of what it represents in todays society. if you need someone to point out whats vulgar(horse screwing a monkey with a pickle dick) or not with an article then thats pretty sad.
so this shouldn't be a big deal or a surprise at all that they are doing this.
and you say you have no intention of reporting people...... how do you expect them to take action if its never reported. thats the kind of attitude that lets murderers and rapists run free
