Religious symbols and signatures on the forum (24 Viewers)

"I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of God"

Translated signature of user Yasor17.

This shit, in advance sorry for the expression, needs to be removed from his signature. I'm not trying to pull a seven here, but I find these letters, which I can't understand and even when I find out the translation, quite disturbing. I don't mind you people, christians and muslims both, discussing religion and politics or whatever on this forum, but keep it in appropriate threads, which I have no interest in opening. There's a religion subforum, so take it all there, all of us don't need to see these writings on the whole freaking forum. Same goes for Chinese scribblings as well.

I already asked this kind of stuff to be implemented in the rules, but to no avail, so I'm asking again. The rules state this is a English speaking forum and that should go for not just posts, but signatures and avatars as well.

Please discuss, or better yet, get busy mods.

I'd agree with that.

 

[V]

Why?

Because I said so. As Muslims find charicatures of Mohammed offensive, I find them funny. We're all different. If you wanna preach about your religion, do it in the appropriate place where I don't need to see it. I'm not much of a believer but I'm still a catholic and I don't wear Jesus as my avatar and writings from the Bible in my signature.

 

[Dostoevsky]

But why?

If some people can be bothered with funny Muhammad avatars other can be bothered with this signature.

And boy I just had a deja vu 2 times.

It's a forum, it's not a classroom, it's not a public office. We can only be religious in our own house now?

It's a public forum with rules and everything. I'm asking this to be implemented in the rules so there are less conflicts and fights over this touchy subject.

So instead of allowing the Muhammad avatar, we're just banning everything that MIGHT offend someone?

Yes.

It's a football forum, it makes difference.

 

[V]

Your sig offends me.

Than you're on the wrong forum.

 

[V]

Ow, you mean we need to ban everything that offends YOU?

Now I get it.

Glad you do.

It's a Juventus forum, it makes difference.

Fixed

 

[Dostoevsky]

Your sig actually really does offend me.

Why?

 

[V]

Why?

His pulling it out of his ass, he can say that about virtually anything, even though he couldn't care less.

 

[GordoDeCentral]

mmh this is disturbing, why not the clamor when the intrepid atheist irish duo sported(and still sport) the long "you re dumb for believing in something" sigs?

 

[Dostoevsky]

Because it's racist.

Racist? I don't think so.

Religion discussions are usually not allowed on any football forum. But here, when it comes to it, people just get warned, banned and insulted.

Keeping or removing signature that guy has won't change anything unless religion discussions gets closed once and for all.

 

[GordoDeCentral]

It was to be expected. You ban a member for blasphemy, you have others who will want to censor religion. My take? Let them both be.

i agree, though intent needs to also be taken into consideration, blatant(consensus) provocation is different

 

[Dostoevsky]

You don't have to ban people.

It would make this or any other forum a crazy place.

It would just keep going, certain people would drag some point over every single thread and laugh at it.

Great, let me sport this flashy avatar and see how every Serb that comes along, that doesn't know me, feels about it.

It doesn't need to be censored but it needs to be in the appropriate thread.

 

[Dostoevsky]

And this would be bad because..?

Because we'd be reading about God and Allah in Live, Transfer and every other section.

 

[V]

If it's the appropriate size, go ahead.

Cool, you should put this one.

how does yasor's sig compare to an obvious act of provocation, unless you re a bigot that sig shouldnt bother you
