goodbye -:undertaker:-

he would have never put it in his signature if all the controversy surrounding it didn't come to light in the past few months. he was asked to remove it and comply and he kicked up a fuss... this has been going on for weeks i believe

hate to pull this line again but it's a habbo forum, we're not even allowed to curse so get over yourself if the flag is apparently offensive to other people they're making the right decision to remove it and he needs to get over that. undertaker there's a reason your date kicked you out the other night and when this hostility happens with more than one person maybe you shouldn't be so quick to put the blame on others way of thinking or logic and start thinking that you as a person need to just shut up sometimes. every day id like to tell customers where the **** to go but bite my tongue, YOU CAN TOO

good luck in the future shame it happened but all you had to do was argue your point about the flag, and if they still insisted on you keeping it out of your signature RESPECT THAT DECISION FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF THE INDIVIDUALs who got offended

A signature is offending users so you remove the signature and warn the user as per forum policy. ISSUE RESOLVED, NO FURTHER ACTION, DONE. Unless you're a HxF GM in which case you completely overreact.

Nobody needed to be fired over this, and why flags are being banned I don't even know, really if people are offended by it then I suggest they go watch Fox or CNN and learn about how the Pope is the evilest man of 2015 as that seems more pressing. Maybe we should ban pictures of the pope as he's offensive to a large amount of Americans... that'll be the next offensive issue of this year!

Anyway, @Wispur; have a bit of humility, revert the firing and revert this silly flag ban. If you're going to fire Dan over other things that he's done before, it may have been worth growing a pair and firing him before he upset a couple of people with a .png file. Or stick to your guns and convince yourself you were right, that'll be one person convinced at least.

LOL FFS i had no idea, thats just petty and ridiculous. its a habbo forum, trying to organize a change.org petition isn't the way forward. i would say its a non-issue though, and i'd be intrigued on just how many users constitutes as "multiple users" complaining.

I'm confused! Is the flag in question the one that's plastered all over the beginning of this thread? If so, then if the moderation department have banned it from existence on the forum why hasn't it been removed from this thread? Surely that's just the same as having it in your signature?

If it's not the same flag then I apologise, but if it is then bloody hell what's going on!


I can't really comment on whether it's bad or not since I'm not really clued up with my flag knowledge, but it is kinda pretty!



Thank you for all of your work Dan! I hope you will continue to stick around the forum!

What is his reason for even adding the flag in the first place? Has that been explained somewhere?

Dan's Debate Leader style was rather brash, he didn't moderate anything, he just continued to provoke until he got a reaction. When that didn't pay off, he would turn to insulting people and claiming that the whole world was against him. So I'd probably understand if he was fired based on more than just a flag, but I don't know anything and I'm just a SJW for posting this obvzzzz -.-

Anyway, thank you for your time, Dan. You're a genius at riling people up and that was good for the forum.

I believe he put it in his sig right after it was announced gay marriage would be legal across all of the USA, but I could be wrong.

just missed out on all the drama!!

It is the same flag, basically, double standards - especially since mods, GMs etc. have viewed this thread and not edited their posts.

Let's face it - if it was GoldenMerc rather than Undertaker in this situation, would this be happening now? No. I personally think that the mods are either taking such serious action because it's Undertaker and know what he's like in regards to stuff like this, or that perhaps forum members only complained because it was Undertaker using such images.

So are the forum rules going to be updated to say 'No offensive flags to be shown on the forum?; - so surely all Nazi and ISIS flags would also fall under that?

And as I said in a previous thread - if I post my holiday pictures of me and Charlotte in front of the Mississippi state capitol building, will I get an infraction?

Personally I think the rule is pathetic.

Time to annoy the SMods and start reporting a load of posts with 'offensive' flags I guess.

Edit: Ok, they've started removing pictures of the flag but apparently you don't get a mod warning (but you do get fired!)

So you've fired him from a non-power role, over having a legit American flag on his signature, which you have now banned. How can you ban a legitimate American flag over one guys opinion, thus now discriminating against Americans... -Claps-

Why is everyone blaming mods? Im sure they dont eve have a say as to whether he got fired or not?? Unless thats just an expression.
(wasnt a dig at you Kardan, just generalising)

Thanks for your time dan.

So guys, as you all know I went to Mississippi two years ago:

That's the best picture we got of the flag :(

Because they were only targetting Undertaker - mdport. has only just gone through and removed images posted by other users just now despite viewing the thread several hours ago, and modwarning Undertaker several hours ago in this very thread.
