1.1 Avatars/Sprays
Emblems/Avatars on steam which may be deemed inappropriate by staff will be punished accordingly. This also applies to sprays in game, examples of this could be "Porn-sprays" etc.

1.2 Discrimination
Discrimination in any form (sexism, racism, prejudicial remarks) are not permitted on any server.

Hitler is a name. Just because one person a while ago who was a pretty horrible person was called Hitler does not mean that there is something wrong with simply the name. Anyone can be called Hitler, and there is really nothing to say that it is referring to Adolf Hitler who started World War II.
You kicked this guy about 3-5 times for his name, even after Kitty kept on telling you not to because she was going to ask Clarky/Max about it because Clarky (higher ranked than Para, may I add) had said before that it was fine. I would not be surprised if sexually retracted hitler made a report against you for it, and if I were them then I definitely would.

Just because World war II is 71 years ago doesnt mean people can be heavily offended by it, i stand up for those people, it might be extremely difficult for people to accept the fact that it is just allowed to make nazi remarks on the server (wich is just fine on this server) Adolf hitler is the most recongnizable person related to world war 2 and a mass killer, so people get offended by it. And it gives a wrong image of the server that we dont want.

You can ask someone to change his name for that. And if he doesn't, you can kick him. Discrimination in any form is not permitted on the server. I don't see why there needs to be a change.

I think the person that told you off should re look over the rules because it is in there. Maybe they meant to ask them to change it first

I think it was either Clarky or Max.

I'm a Gipsy but I don't get offended by someone calling themself Hitler. There is a guy who usually joins the server called "Stalin" and he does still not get punnished even though Stalin killed over 20 mil russians in his own country.

The rule doesn't need an edit. There's already a Discrimination rule which should link within the In-Game Names.

Even though, in my perspective, just saying "Hitler" or "Stalin" with no context doesn't really mean much; more so as I'm not one to get offended easily. But it's still a sensitive topic, I know people to this day who are still uncomfortable talking about the horrifying events that took place during the second World War. It's like talking about 9/11, sure, it might not offend you specifically but it is, and probably always will be a sensitive subject.

All-in-all, the discrimination and graphic material rules are already in place and we need to start being more proactive when enforcing these rules.

Like spooder wrote, if somebody Jewish had joined the server and was heavily offended with the name Hitler and us as staff do nothing, then they will probably leave as they don't want to think about what their race was put through, anyone with names like Hitler, Osama Bin Laden etc should be asked and if the need arises then kick as well as these may be greatly insult towards player and if we do not do this then players who are offended by these names may leave the ZARP community forever and thast would lower our popularity

I was busy when you guys were messaging me on steam. You have to take into account the context of things. If it's clear it is to be offensive then it's a problem but however rare it may be some people in the world have hitler in their name. If it's in reference to Adolf Hitler it can be understandable offend some people. Context is key.

The rule is already there.
