Java (Serious) Bannable skins on Java; a rules suggestion.

Make it more obvious which skins are and arent appropriate

I think cubecraft should make it more obvious what is and isnt an inappropriate username or skin. Just today i got permanenty banned just for having a soviet logo on my skin. Yet the official rules dont specify which skins are appropriate.

www.cubecraft.net

So stalin and hitler skins are bannable right; this is because these people are associated with hate crimes and genocide. The problem is that several figures in country a can be seen as a hero and also as a tyrant in other countries - so this is somewhat sensitive.

Since cubecraft has a western playerbase, it makes sense to specify the rules a little better with these players in mind:

Allowed skins:

• Historical figures prior to WWII, these skins are to be allowed because nobody really takes offense to what things someone from 1902 would have done

• Historical figures from medieval and ancient times; all these people were bad but their skins should be specified to be allowed. Why? Simple; we dont know how these people looked like, and also, current society holds no grudges against, for example, Gengis Khan.

•Present day world leaders - even if they are terrible.

•Symbols not inherently associated with hate; for example religious markings, Any present day country’s flag, symbols associated with economic ideology.

Disallowed skins:

•Skins bearing markings/uniforms associated with hate groups:

•For example, the ISIS symbol, the KKK ghost suit and Nazi Swastikas.

• Any skins bearing genitalia, animal or otherwise.

•skins bearing swear words.


Also, a clause stating that moderators may issue punishment on any skin deemed inappropriate with their discretion.

I agree with this list and think it should be made official.

I agree with all of them but this. I think that in some areas it shows pride. However, I do see the ideology that people could be offended by some flags. Not too sure at the moment.

Thats not all ~ when its an existing country, one is expected to be patriotic for their own nation so it doesnt make sense to punish them for that you know, even if its offensive.

ex for a Syrian, they’d probably get pissed seeing Turkish flags, some people get pissed seeing American flags. The world is a complicated place and it’s not their fault.

I agree but why no poll? :(

If someone votes no on this post, we’d have no idea what or why they disagree, that’s ok for gameplay suggestions but we need constructive discussion for rules building. Flesh it out all nice

Well done! I agree with the list. I think this would help a lot to the community.
Hope to see this being an official list that everyone must follow!

Thanks for taking the time to suggest. Keep up the good work!

I agree 100% This could be a little tricky to implement, as wether a skin is ok or not mostly comes down to opinion.
I do agree that the list should be clearer.

This is a good suggestion, I agree.
