Hi there was this jerk that joined my clan and he got kicked for his base...it was a swastika which a few members (a few Jewish) and I found highly offensive im not Jewish its just my great grandfather nearly died in WW2 and I really dont want to see it...I was wondering if he could be banned if i reported him

If you find it offensive and it has negatively affected you and your clan members gaming experience then let Supercell decide. I can tell you from past experiences they take offensive base designs seriously and will bring the hammer down very quickly.Quote:

The swastika was founded long before the nazis adopted it! So you may see it as offensive but in reality it is not. It's just your perception of it since the nazis adopted that symbol.
you said he has been kicked you should leave it at that.
.......He may have not meant for it to be a swastika. Many strong funneling bases slightly resemble a swastika, but it is very much mistaken because most bases that resemble it HAVE A CORE. Swastikas DO NOT have a core or ANY CENTER STRUCTURE. This makes it a bad base to use, although it may just be a disrespectful troll.
I think he was trying to upset people he found it funny and was bragging about itQuote:

A swastika or similiar symbols have been used to signify many different things worldwide.Quote:

A swastica isnt offensive. Maybe if u read up on your history you'd see lots of cultures had used the swastica before the nazis did. Smh
Some of my past bases have inadvertently had a vague resemblance. Others have had a much closer resemblance. Hard to say it's deliberate, but if he is deliberately referencing offensive imagery there's a good chance that SC could (eventually) ban him. Report, kick, ignore, move on.Quote:

So if i decide to make a swastika base, im actually hoping for the godly powers to keep me off the nexting radar of higher level people ;)
I can not believe all of you missed this.....

If you could re-type that and use english this time...thatd be greatQuote:

Its a base, i'd say let it be and just 3 star it if you find it offensive the next time you meet one. :D
Which word do you need simplified? Other than thatdQuote:

The middle finger may not be the same thing in other countries, but if someone had a big middle finger made out with walls on their base, super cell would find it offensive..
I can list examples all day.
This guy says he was bragging about it, and making jokes. I highly he doubt he was bragging about his sign "for peace".
The fact that I, and others clearly find this offensive, is enough to have it be taken down; whether or not it can symbolize other things. Not to mention, the fact that some of you are trying to justify it, and make excuses for it, is kind of sad. I understand there are other meanings, I highly doubt this is one of those situations..
The swastika used in India looks a bit different..Quote:

Would someone who is from India, who used this as their base, be making jokes and bragging about it?
Are you illiterate?Quote:

I believe that, maybe not the 99% part, but still doesn't justify the base, who say's this guy is Indian?!Quote:

Yes, that symbol has different meanings. Please report it to supercell through your game settings, and if it is clearly meant in an offensive way, then they will take action.
