Yeah, but there's no political discussion on Bungie.net, so it doesn't matter. Plus, they [edited for political content]

Pretty fair arguement, but

a.) Bungie can do whatever they want. It isn't your forum. Read the Terms of Use and Code of Conduct (nicely located at the bottom of your screen)

b.) The republicans and democrats and are not commonly used (by fools) as a derogatory term. (i.e. Man, Shishka bans so many people, he's like "blamed word.") I don't believe it was "blamed" so much to oppress the the politcal group as to limit the ability of jerks to insult mods (and other members.)


EDIT: Holy crap, Jarhead proved my point just as I was making the post! He's psychic!

They blam it out for good reasons, there are always people who will misuse it. Just like the "N" word.

Well, the only place you're really going to use it is in Body Politic, and they allow cencor bypasses there (even with a list of certain -blam-ed words uncencored by certain methods). Even if you could use it in the main forums, it would still be against the rules to start political discussion.

Are the -blam!-s a current politcal party or has it ended? Man, I need to do some research......

Posted by: True Courage
No matter the intentions, it needs to be balanced. It's not fair. I find it oppressive to my political ideals. If one of my party's names is banned, yours should be too. I find it extremely oppressive and offensive.



That, and forgive me, is a little stupid? It is a valid reason, we don't rude things (-blam!- as a derogatory term, not the word by itself) here. It's a clean place. Yes, there are instances where people use "-blam!-" is correct, or un-insulting ways, but this is rare (sorry, it's the truth). There is no way to really see the context and automatically determine wether or not it is appropriate. And, again, you don't have to use this forum.

Usage is irrelevant. It's the principle of the matter. They blocked it, so either remove it or block the other party names.

What is the big deal anyways? This is a forum for Bungie, what relevence does the Na-zi party have to Bungie? This thread is pretty pointless really.

This will end right here, right now.

Warning: the following may contain references to politics (*Gasp!*)

Hitler's political party commited genocide against several different races during the second world war, most notibly the Jewish people. If a nickname for feces deserves to be edited out, then the instigators of a genocide definitely do.

There. And yes, this does belong in Body Politic.

The National Socialist Party of Germany has most likely been censored for its usage. Just because it is a political party does not mean it has to be censored. Usage does have a lot to do with it. In fact, it has everything to do with it. If you want to see Republican and Democrat censored, then you are going to have to wait until people start using them as actual derogatory terms.

The word has been censored for its usage. I'm sure that if other people were considerate, it, and every other curse for that matter, would most likely not be censored.

I know what they did. I'm not going to say if I supported them or not, but I support that party, among several parties. I'm not here to argue which party is "good or bad", I'm here to argue to ban all politcal party names. I find democracy, and it's two parties, evil. Just as you consider the National Socialists evil. Ban them all, or let them be spoken.
Well, what's the point if they aren't going to be spoken anyways?

As I said, intentions are irrelevant. It's unfair. Republicans are trying to prevent certain people, a minority, from marrying, forever limiting and hindering their love. That is just as horrid as what the National Socialists did, in principle. All parties do dispicable acts, so ban them all, to ensure that no political discussions are performed.


The acts of the parties in the past or the present are irrelevant. If people were more considerate of others, and had a better vocabulary, then this word would not be censored, simply because the only time it would be used is when some discussion called for it to be brought up.

Bungie does not censor words for no reason. Bungie censors words that are used often as derogatory terms. Calling someone a member of the National Socialist Party is a common insult, and thus has been censored to prevent its use.

The political parties of any other country will not be censored until they are used as derogatory terms, or have the possibility of being used as such. (Frankly, I believe "communist," or "commie," will be next if any more are censored.)

Then why haven't they blocked "noob", or "whore"? They are trying to hide their hatred and oppression.


For the word "noob," they most likely have not blocked it because there are an infinite amount of ways to get around it, so they have most likely just stopped caring, and would rather just enforce the "Don't use it" rule.

As for "whore," I don't know.

But how can you actually prove that Bungie has a specific hatred for the National Socialist Party? If you can prove it, I will side with you.

Honestly, this is something that needs to be taken to Body Politic. Having this discussion here runs the risk of people getting blacklisted.

Alright, now can you prove that Bungie censored the name because of its act, rather than its use as a derogatory term?

Actually, this is about the policies of Bungie on its forums. This doesn't really have to do with government.
