I think to clarify here, you are more offended by the associated acts of National Socialist German Workers' Party, also known as nazis.

He didnt reference those acts, so the word by itself is really nothing beyond a noun.

Which makes it even more important to be aware of their existence.

It is what makes us human.

You were not rude for the record.

@Lottis

Thank you for reporting the post. If anyone find an offensive post on our forums, that is the way to get things handled. We try to handle all reports within reasonable time.

However sometimes it is not immediate clear if a report is valid (better rephrase that to: is action needed/wanted?), and it can take longer before maybe an action is taken. We have beeen discussing your report among staff and unfortunatly we have not decided on it yet. Some things are not simply black or white and we have to look at each report from both sides. As you can see by other responses in this thread, this is not an uncontroversial discussion.

Starting a public thread did not help in getting your report handled faster, and you only achieved the opposite of what you want, the word has been used many times more.

Thank you fore your answere, Marco.

Geez I didnt like nazi and commie so I replaced those with neo-con and socialist. Still offensive to some but not nearly as controversial. I saw it as just an example.
You could just replace the tags with liberal and conservative. Whatever you like.

Probably doesnt help that the word has been adapted to be synonymous with strict. Something more applicable to "our" themed jargon would be mod nazi which has been used to describe one or two of my staff.

I would replace the words found within the addon...
any negative connatation should be removed ... as a business (eg. jelsoft), I wouldn't want to be associated with these word(s) in any manner.

Yes, they are just words; but, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Whilst it doesn't offend me, it's just being childish and blatently rude on the authors behalf. How does floating an image relate to nazis? It's just some guy being an idiot. And I agree that he should be forced to change the tagname. Or how about I call my stable release of DCSEO:

Dean's Nazi Search Engine Optimization plugin

I think you see my point...
