"In a national-socialist context, the phrase Meine Ehre heißt Treue refers to a declaration by Adolf Hitler following Stennes Revolt, an incident between the Berlin Sturmabteilung (SA) and the SS: in early April 1931, elements of the SA under Walter Stennes attempted to overthrow the head of the Berlin section of the NSDAP. As the section chief, Joseph Goebbels, fled with his staff, a handful of SS, under Kurt Daluege, were beaten trying to repel the SA. After the incident, Hitler wrote a letter of congratulations to Daluege, stating … SS-Mann, deine Ehre heißt Treue! ("Man of the SS, your honour is called loyalty"). Soon afterwards, Heinrich Himmler, head of the SS, made the modified version of this sentence the official motto of the organisation."

Sorry acash, but I really can't endorse this ban. These are four german words, each for it's own absolutely not offensive. If he says that his honor is loyalty then it's his good right to say that. It's not necessarily a nazi credo.
On the entrance of many concentration and death camps you can read "Jedem das Seine" (in english: Each to their own). Nobody would condemn you for saying that, because it's a phrase that is still very often used in germany today.

Then why have this name? Are you kidding me? Do you hate germans or why don't you let him choose his name? Will you ban every player with german words only because Hitler spoke german, too? This ban is ridiculous as ridiculous a ban can be! There are other players you should take care off. Blackhawk for example is back. Why don't you take care of him instead of randomly banning players from a nation you don't like?
Admin Soldier also tried to terrorize me only because I'm german. You know what happened to him.

That is your opinion. In till you give me another reason than your opinion please make your own topic on why he should be unban. Also to add, I was told by several fellow Germans that did not like the name. Zoals altijd, hebben mooie dag!

Oh I see you are dutch. That explains it all. You take every chance to kick your big neighbors butt, don't you? I also notice that when I make my annual vacation in the netherlands. My weirdest experience in this context was a waitress in a nice cafe at the Amsterdam train station. A real nice cafe at one of the canals. When she noticed that we are germans she just treated us like animals. Dirty dishes and complete ignorance.

Well, I hope that another admin takes a look at this ban. It's a completely unjustified one.

The name is obviously provocative and chosen for that goal. It is just as much a group of German words as 'Arbeit macht Frei', but groups of words have other meanings than the words seperately, and this refers to a German military unit which caused alot of suffering in the world, and I understand that people can be insulted by it. Acashmoney made the right decision, the player was warned several times. But because I have never seen this person speak in the server, and he didn't reply to the warnings, I think he might not read the ingame chat or might not speak English at all.
No, that is not an excuse for having that name, but I think he might begin wondering what he was banned for after he notices the 'Banned from server'. So we'll keep him banned for 1 week, then warn him again, see if he gets the message. If not, the ban will stay.

I already gave the "Jedem das Seine" example. It was at the entrance of the KZ Buchenwald and many other concentration camps. It's absolutely not offensive, if you're not using it in a clearly offensive way.
Would you care if his name was "My honor is loyalty"? No you wouldn't give a damn about it. You just care because he says it in german. Think about it.
Never saw that fella saying any nazi stuff.

„Meine Ehre heißt Treue“ war der Wahlspruch der Schutzstaffel (SS). Seit 1932 wurde der Wahlspruch in die Koppelschlösser der Allgemeinen SS und ihrer Nebenverbände (SS-Verfügungstruppe, SS-Totenkopfverbände und der später aus diesen bewaffneten SS-Verbänden entstandenen Waffen-SS) geprägt.

....

Der SS-Wahlspruch oder Abwandlungen davon sind in einigen Ländern strafbar, in Deutschland durch das Strafgesetzbuch (§ 86a StGB, Verwenden von Kennzeichen verfassungswidriger Organisationen), in Österreich durch das Verbotsgesetz von 1947.

For those of you who do not speak German, this is from the German wikipedia page. It says that this sentence is the SS's motto. That is also how people will recognize it. The second part tells that it's illegal to use this motto. This obviously shows how this can be offensive to people ( seeing as it's banned in Germany and Austria). I think this closes the discussion about the interpretation of this particular sentence.

German laws are in fact over-sensitive in this context, because they don't want neo nazis to use these phrases in the public. No german would find these words offensive when it's not in a nazi context. Other armys/organisations use almost the same credos.

German paratroopers: Loyalty for Loyalty
French Foreign Legion: Honor and Loyalty
US Marines: Semper fidelis (Always loyal)

So if you leave out the context of german history the phrase "Meine Ehre heisst Treue" (1:1 translation: My honor is called loyalty) wouldn't offend any german. Most germans just don't want parts of their language to be stolen by some nazi morons forever. That's the whole point actually.

I am beside myself wondering what Bunty really contributes here.
Dude, Bunty...do you realize what you are defending? Or are you Really just being a shithead troll?
You sound like you think the genocide in which hitler brought forth was just. I hope you Do take offense Bunty, IF you defend Hitlers actions, and Defend people who use his SS motto, as 'just players in the game' you yourself ought to be cast out from here.
I'm sorry, but even the fucking dumbest of people wouldnt defend someone on this topic.... I MUST ask
what the FUCK is Bunty trying to defend here?
Do you guys think that Hitler was right?
speak out against bunty and tell him hes a fucking idiot for defending ANYONE on this topic.
Good job to Cash, and Beta on this ban....fuck anyone that condones what hitler did. IMHO!
No favs, no parts, this is how someone Should be banned.

IN THE BEGINING OF THIS TOPIC, you were defending someone who was promoting An SS or Hitler regime... A society designed Solely for the purpose of seeking out and irradicating Jewish/Polish citizens.
You were defending this player with that name.... THATS WHAT OR WHO YOU WERE DEFENDING....
You actually have the Integrity to Try and defend yourself After I call you out on that.... How i wish MORE people could see this conversation... To see what an arrogant, Oblivious individual you are.
I am not blind... as you continue to Spew.... I however would NEVER defend someone representing an organization such as the person YOU are defending... DO you EVEN know who your defending? or just PROTESTING because thats what you do??
You truely contribute almost NOTHING EVER..... to the forums, besides your smart ass remarks, and your snide insults to unsuspecting posters.... You hide behind the curtain that blackhawk laid forth, for you COULDNT ever do that wrong... so you ever so gently dance on that fine line.
You tell me I'm a clown... yet you point out NOTHING that makes me a clown... you call me a clown because I do not defend your arrogant defiance. Anyone that defends ANYTHING that hitler did,HAD DONE, or Continues to promote what he did is an idiot. Even moreso!!
Try as you will... like i said, I'll be more than HAPPY to continue this with you until you or me, or both of us are banned.
FUCK TARDS would defend the person they banned.. GET IT?
