Well the svastica was(now its considered "bad") Latvian ethnic symbol. It is a thundercross (perkonkrusts in latvian). It resembles thunder. Latvians were pagans and belived many gods (like sun, thunder, animals etc.) before the catholics in the middle ages came and forced latvians to belive one god and made them catholics too. So i see it more like a religion symbol (i don't belive in any gods :)) than nazi symbol. To me it's not offensive.

Correct. The Nazis used the Swastica as their symbol in order to decieve people into thinking good about Nazism (Or so I've been told...)

I don't really care about the swastika. Since you have a disclaimer, you should be fine. You might want to put the disclaimer in a brighter color though because I can barely read it.

Maybe your disclamer should go in the sig

it is fine the way it is. Its just like using the Iron Cross in your sig, its another German Nazi symbol. But as long as you aren't really having any racist remarks in it, it should be completely fine, cuz these are boards for a game that is nazi's vs. the rest

Just don't run around and say stuff the Nazi's were.
Other than that I'm fine.
