    I played a heads up against a guy (I_TILT_ME) who had the nazi flag as a picture on stars. I just cannot believe Stars let him upload this pic. I'm so pissed off about that, what should I do?

    thx for your advices

    Or you can quit being a child about a picture, and use the feature PS gave you. Block Image. ITS JUST A PICTURE!

    Must be nice to live wapped arround cotton wool and enclosed in 9ft bubble.

    And yes you can just ignore it. I'm sure you ignore plenty of other thing in life that stars support can't help you on.

    Cant ignore a picture, grow up. I got a picture of my mustang, if someone who owns a chevy is offended by my pic, am I supposed to change my pic because of it? What if I am offended by every picture of a flag other than the American flag, are they supposed to change it then? The list can go on and on. Someone will be offended by every picture there somehow. So I say to you again. Quit being a child about a picture and use the features PS provides for this kind of situation.

    It may just be a picture, but it is a picture of Hate. Being sensitive to the people that lost most or all of their family and ancestors in the holocaust, this is wrong. Picture must go. Email stars

    stars will ban inappropriate images if you report them. They will even ban inappropriate handles.

    Your Mustang did not try and wipe out the entire population of Chevys from the face of the earth, The VW's country did. get a clue.

    The flag/symbol was also a picture of love for millions during that time. Now a picture of a bunch of dead bodies in a concentration camp would be different. The flag itself is no different than the American flag or any other flag. How you see it might be different. To each his own. Block image and go about your way.

    No, I am not a Nazi or support it, I am a firm believer of the ignore image button.

    You don't think Ford would like Chevy's piece of the market? Let me make a better comparison. Someone in your family was murdered, you see a picture of OJ, your offended. But 7 others at the table are football fans, they aren't offended. Who should block the picture?

    I said the list could go on and on about who is offended by what picture. THEY ARE JUST PICTURES!!! The past is the past, worry about your future.

    <SPAN>The Amerikan flag is indeed a symbol of genocide and hatred to many. The Nazi flag didnt commit genocide. Block images you find distasteful, play poker and quit being a pic-nazi.</SPAN>

    I want PS to ban the avatar of the guy who has the Amtrak logo-to me it symbolizes the thousands of my Irish brothers who died in the genocide that was the intercontinental railroad. Seriously, dude, flags are symbols and as such are interpretive objects. Poker players find self-righteous people really obnoxious. Pls read stars TOS, take your own action with PS, keep it out of the forum and lastly, but certainly not least, GTFO.
