And Pentagrams have what connection to satanic imagry...?

No seriously, they don't. I could go and force you to read several books, but I'll just point out that Pentagrams have, and always SHOULD HAVE BEEN just symbols used for magic. Nothing about satanic things in them. Cept then Christianity came in and screwed everything up and made people believe that they were satanic just because they were used by the other religions that Christianity rolled over

Well my point was more or less, yet not direct in any way, was that swastikas and pentagrams are symbols with certain conotations with ideals considered evil by society. So if swastikas aren't allowed, neither should pentagrams.

It's basically the same reason Wizards of the Coast stopped using artwork that had any kind of symbol with real-world significance in it several years ago.

I still stand on my opinion, that the only NAKED skins and models should be deleted, no more. I'm russian and as u know history, we had a primary role in this war, my both grandfathers were on war, got alot of medals :P, but more to point: all mapers know, that if they gonna dl nazi skins, they'll put them in the map for nazi units. Most maps contains nazi az an enemies, so what's bad in shooting the nazi's, not giving them honor ect. To all germans, i don't consider u as nazi, so don't take offence on me :)

you do know there 2 versions of the "Nazi" symbol... if your gonna complain about it please use its right name SWASTIKA.

ok the first one is the well known german symbol that hitler used

now the second one is not as common... in ancient china there was a ruler who used a symbol quite like the SWASTIKA but there were some different atributs to it
    it faced the other direction not |- but -| *<<bad acilli art*

    it was not slanted at an angel it was straight

    the ruler who used this symbol was a realy good guy who brought prosperity to his land



now befroe you go deleting something that looks like the "Nazi" symbol please remember that there are 2 versions a good and bad

actually both the swastika and the backwards swaztika were symbols of friendship almost worldwide (yes, even in the america's) many centuries before the concept of nazism even came around. let's think about it this way... Hitler considered himself a devout christian. Hell, he even considered changing the swastika on the Nazi flag into a cross when he was the head of the nazi party. If he did, we would still use it as a symbol for christianity, wouldn't we... Ok so some sick guys decided to kill a bunch of jews and gypsies and gays and everybody not fitting a specific profile, but as the bumper sticker says, Shit happens. The best we can do is to get over it and try to keep it from happening again.
