Offensive and Controversial

[CubeStealer]

Just having the skin of a historical person is not against the rules. However, there is associated behaviour that will get the player in trouble for instance, lingering at spawn and asking other players to come check out their cool skin. In the same vein, building swastikas is allowed or prohibited depending on context. If the player is just building random swastikas in the vicinity of spawn, lighting them on fire etc, the intent behind is malicious. However a player integrating a swastika as part of a larger build far away from spawn is tolerated.

A while ago, there was some controversy on the server where two players built a WW2-era concentration camp. I had argued that the build was a historical build, took time to make and the two players who made it were not unnecessarily drawing attention to their build. However, because the build was close to a large settlement, some players were offended. To strike a balance between allowing historical buildings and not offend other players, the admin committee of then came up with the rule that starts with "Controversial builds should be kept private and out of public eye...". When a player with a controversial name or skin joins the server, it is best to just leave them alone and not mention either the name or the skin. If they're on VH to troll, they will get frustrated and leave OR start drawing attention to their name/skin which will then get them in trouble.
