Taliban Forces

Today I saw someone with the guild name Taliban Forces. I can't understand why there is a guild allowed with the name of a group of terrorists.

I dont' see whats wrong with this. They're not seriously influenced by the Taliban. They are only mocking the name.

Overall I don't believe in censoring things like this just because the world considers them a bad thing. The name isn't hurting anyone.

Who said these guild members are doing terrorist activities? Let alone, anything illegal? Or even REALLY supporting the Taliban?

While I can see what you're saying, and more than anything, I don't want to agree with Moonie, but if you let that go about, then why have guilds resembling the KKK been rejected in the past? Same arguement. The name of the guild itself probably influences illegal behavior at least a single time.

We should get rid of the Terrorist vs Counter-Terrorist game on G2k1 too! ATROCITY!

Yeah, removing it would be pretty stupid seeing as there's events on Graal in which the aim of one side is to conduct terrorist activities.

Of course, we would have to read past his typos and stuttering.

One is racism, the other is mocking the terrorists. How many times have I seen someone named Osama, Saddam, and such on Graal with no actions taken?

Graal is an game as Andrew said. But even that needs to have attention. We should not support any terror groups by giving them a kind of monument. Games are fiction, terrorism by radical groups are reality. That's the difference.
