Why does vBulletin allow this?
 

I have seen a hack, witch i reported yesterday.
Nothing has been done with this.
This hack, sends out a message in the hack witch i find defending.
If vBullitin has a policy that allows sutch hidden message, it will dissapoint me alot.
The hack is Borgs who is the owner. And i really like the hack, but the message is totally discusting. I hope some of you can react to this now, because reporting it, dident seem to do the trick.
Just remove the Nazi stuff, pls.

what hack are u talking about ?? link?? url??

My very first complaint thread! :D

Hi and, no.

I think that's sufficient disclaimer on the words there. They're a joke because on my (politically centered) forums, many people accuse people in favour of censorship or right wing views, people will accuse one another of being nazis at the drop of a hat.

If anyone's at all liberal or left wing, the commie insults are mentioned just like that also. In the same vein, I took these 'far right' and 'far left' names to be used in the 'float left' and 'float right' tags, however I mentioned that other names like imgr or imgl could be used.

Man, and I thought I had seen some worthless threads in the past.... :D

So why bother answere it then?

I dont find this "joke" funny at all.

Why, are you a commie?

No, im none of this. Nazi ore commie. I find them both not worty mention on a hacking place. Are you?

Whilst I agree controvercial language does not have a place in code modifications, the fact remains that I use these tags because there are used by users and thus the more memorable the bbcode is, the more likely they are to use it.

I agree.

Stepping in here because I noticed the complaint yesterday and we are actively discussing the issue on my own forum. First off, I didn't find the terms offensive and thought the complaint was an oversensitivity. Upon discussion with some very rational people though, I have learned that many people DO find it offensive.

At this point, I'm of the opinion that you don't want your code to insult people or tick them off. If your members are fine with it, leave the words as is. But, because somebody has said they were bothered by the posting of those word choices here, I think the polite thing to do would be to change them here. No harm, no foul. Just good manners.

But that's just my thoughts on the matter.
