¿Question #679?
[Deleted user]: [deleted question]

Thorin2001: As long as noone feels offended: No.
bethnart: Yes!
Phil Fleischmann: Probably not a bad idea. It can only be a source of conflict which serves little or no positive purpose. Think of the result: If you put your political ideology on your avatar, then someone else will likely put the opposite on theirs, and it will only escalate. We have plenty of other ways to express our political ideas if we want to. Remember that your avatar is like your internet face - putting your politics on your avatar is like tattooing it on your face.
weed131: no
TiwazTyrsfist: No. people should have the right to express their beliefs, even if they're controversial or can cause disturbances.
Nahain: Politics are everywhere and should be everywhere. Sometimes they can get tiresome but this is not utopia.
karlosMD: yup
Cygnus2112: no
jellospike: Sure, who cares.
softflow: Freedom of speech, unfortunately. But it doesn't give you the right to make others suffer...
The Unbeliever: 42
fatetwister64: Nah, they add character. I like knowing i have things in common with people
jessitron: noooooooooooo
ExcitingJeff: No. People will find a way to express their political affiliations anyway.
asutbone: No.
Numskull: Definitely not.
ricardofo: No. We live in democratic countries.
hannibal twin 8: of course not! How on earth would they enforce that anyway?
Blott: No.
catosulla: no
ThePilot: Yes
Thundergoat: Only if the moderators deem it to be somthing totally innapropriate for a board environment.
Hector Vortac: no
DHEK: No! Why should they be?!
CardboardCultist: Oh yeah. Lets start down a slippery slope that will eventually forbid everything on a badge with the possible exception of Alf pogs.
jcarvin: No, what's the point?
jeffwolfe: No.
aleo09: surely not
Eric Haas: No
WalkerRedEye: nope
POvidiusNaso: That's ridiculous. Are we supposed to hide everything people care about because it might cause a discussion?
unixrevolution: No. If you don't like it don't pay attention.
kuchick: should we live in a fascist regime?
puffinge: no
tdyck: no, don't be intolerant
Geosmores: no
MightyMike: not if they coincide with my views
rmartinc: no
Ebon Wendigo: No
greglios: No
MaksimSmelchak: Would it be such a bad idea to keep the focus of BGG on games? I'm with you, Maverick. It would be tough to enforce though. Look where the Geek Questions have gone. I suspect that well under half of them, maybe alow as a quarter of them, have anything to do with games, the focus of the site.
Cut & Space: Not really
dmomo: Nah.
ilovekatusha: yes
chad56s: No. What is this? Nazi Germany?
bkindt: Yes
vampywife: everyone has the right to their opinions, wrong or not
Nekura: As long as they're not overly offensive (like a Nazi Party emblem), I don't have a problem with them.
nnf1: No
brainrob: No
Avatar_69: No.
marshalljansen: I feel that censorship of viewpoints is unnecessary. Save the censorship for offensive and obscene content, not things you have decided to be all militantly against.
mlanza: Are we not Americans?
bigbadsteve: nah
RadAlienDad: No, I think some strong political opinions are unavoidable in thinking people. Suprising how inconsistent they are though. You'd almost thing there were a lot of valid conclusions derived from many life experiences.
Loquutus: No.
arkibet: 1st amendment, dude. no.
JamesT: No
Null Signature: don't care.
mrbeankc: Yes
Thedalek: No. Blatantly obscene ones, yes, but political statements, no.
sourwyrm: no
matthew.marquand: I'm not opposed to people showing their true colors
shotokanguy: no
rdmasters: Nahh...Let'em battle it out! It's not like politics matters, after all. Now poeple having particular games in their avatars, that's another matter!
scriptorum: Banned? No. Tastefully self-censored? Would be nice.
Bergbau: No. It is fun to see people not being libertarian.
toulouse: no
Lord_Prussian: No
Ardos: NO
Musti: No.
skrutsch: no
TaliaIsabelle: No
nouge: No. Wait, is 'Magic Happens' a political statement? Then yes.
mbs808: Why?
meshuggener: Only by the jack-booted though police.
TamiWhitsett: no
Gonzaga: I think so ...
erli: It's a free contry freak! Not some theocracy!
2amp: yes
Quest22: Yes
nexttothemoon: Or maybe the better question...should all Geek Badges and Avatars be banned from political statements...kinda chicken and egg if you ask me.
heli: n
thoia: Nah, I just ignore them because I don't tend to care. I think political questions should be banned from GeekQuestions...you can't ignore them you have to at least read it a bit then BOOM your faced with politics on the BGG. Avatars, I look at them once then never again. YES the questions I don't like I click Never Answer but still they annoy me more than the avatars and badges.
Cal Mac: No
Wintergoblin: no
FullTinCan: No
batman: No, let's the idiots be proud of their idiocy.
djflippy: Nah.
AlorielLelyn: As long as they aren't derogatory, I don't see a problem. I don't care if someone has "pro-life" for a badge or avatar. But I would care if someone had a racist commentary.
stephensj23: Yes, you freakin commie pinko.
DenverWolf: yes
isolated: I haven't seen one yet. But I'd say no.
echoota: no
gnomehome: No
manowarplayer: No.
Ebonwoulfe: I think something like "Green Party" would be fine, but "Screw Bush" would not be...
Chris__M: No
Belash: no
StormKnight: Nah
Karlsen: How could you tell if it was from a different country? Burning Bush is NOT a political statement where I come from it is about hair removal
Jackwraith: Of course not.
mfrederick: No, though the admins should always have the ability to choose to disallow whatever they'd like.
fsumarc: ehhh tough call... no decision yet.
onky: yes.
Ryno8: I dont care
Blackwind: no
sos1: No censorship, please. Simply ignore them if they bother you.
Bluenose: No. Let 'em say what they like. The only people who should have a say are Derk and aldie.
dracomjb: yes
shumyum: No (unless involves out-and-out bigotry)
DangerMouse: Nah.
chaddyboy_2000: No.
Michael Becker: no - if you don't like it just ignore it. why should anyone get twisted over anything in this world?
nerman8r: no
dietevil: No, as long as they are not imflammatory or hate-filled
haraggan: No
darthcliff: Nope . . . they'll just find another way to get the attention mommy and daddy didn't give them
Randy Cox: Banned is a strong word. My answer: no.
geberus: No!
sdownin: No
dakarp: certainly not. I actually got the gold for my badge during the US election season so that I could have a campaign badge.
hibikir: I don't think they should.
louiseh: No
djlg: Nah. Who cares?
BobDodgerBlue: I don't think they should be banned, but I wish they weren't there
Aldie: Nah.
Flyspeck23: No, unless they're offensive (whatever that means).
scribidinus: I do not wear my politics on my bumper but I'm always opposed to more rules of participation in any org. Those who choose political phrases should be prepared to take some heat from unlike minded members, just like anywhere else.
cornjob: If they are generally offensive
Shakar: Please no.
CDRodeffer: No
ct_cruiser: Anything that could be considered offensive should have no place on the geek. Not what its here for. There are other places to discuss that sort of thing.
Yekrats: no
netfilterz: No
snoozefest: no
MisterCranky: Yes, just as soon as the game related ones are.
tragicpoet: No, freedom to be an activist bastard is covered by the first amendment.
Friendless: no
queequeg: no
jttm: Nah....
Jim_P: Why?
ScottBecker: No.
CortexBomb: As much as I dislike the flame wars that politics have inspired around here I would have to say no, simply because politics is a very important part of many people's lives, and they should be able to express that if they so choose
ynnen: Nope. They earned it. As long as it's PG-13 or milder, I could care less
LudesFactor: yeah, and muscle cars should be next : )
skelebone: Probably not, flames be damned.
ValJor: No
Gelatinous Goo: no, you fascist
