An attack on our symbols
TheRepoMan
Today, my first thought was to write an article in Spanish focusing on a topic that fills our national press these days, but I soon changed my mind when I logged in and found this:
http://www.erepublik.com/es/article/-iquest-inflamable-significaba-flamable--2309371/1/20
The whole article is an insult to the eRepublik community and shall not be ignored any longer. For that reason, this article is made only in English, without any bias for any particular nationality. Many of our national symbols have been insulted by Vihesito (http://www.erepublik.com/es/citizen/profile/4522503), who posted images of a wide range of flags being burning with the only propose of insulting people.
As a result I call on the eRepublik community worldwide for help to encourage respect for others. I know trolls will strive to convince us that what they do is insignificant, trivial, but we all know (or should know) that it really isn’t. To them it’s simply funny, but the reality is that it is teasing, and unnecessary. Not everything must be tolerated as a 'joke'. Today pictures were shown of our flags burning, so what will they do tomorrow? People should always keep in mind that sinister acts grow from relatively small things such as this.
Personally I cannot let this go unnoticed. I don't see any reason to tolerate acts like these, so if you consider yourself part of a decent community then act against this kind of action that clearly violates laws, and thus the terms an conditions of use of eRepublik (part 5 paragraph 1 line 14). Regardless of being largely pointless - this is offensive. Please help in the spread of this message.
Let me encourage you to re shout this article showing that users like Vihesito are obviously unable to respect national symbols, and/or contribute positively to society.

republish this when they post pictures of apple-products being burnt... more people will care
Or puppies.
I really hate it when they burn puppies.
i was just making a little joke but you come with your crazy fetish and place it reverse psychology-style here in a game for people with age starting at 14y - you make me sick. reported
You're right. That was totally uncalled for. I would definitely not want any such pictures posted.
In the future, I'll stick to condescending comments about how people have a limited scope of concern. Less nationalism seems a good thing to me. But not so much if it is replaced by vapid consumerism. I'm not sure which of the two you were getting at. oh well
good that you realized your mistake
I also realized people care more about puppies than apple products.
The world isn't such a bad place after all.
Have a nice day.
I think it´s ok to let them burn flags, to fight unemployment in the flag industry.
Them we would, has seen an offer, to buy or improve q1 flag industry, time ago.
As a RL American, I would hesitate to consider such actions illegal. However, I would probably discourage it unless someone is trying to make a legitimate purposeful statement of some sort.

Full Israeli support
Thanks! Lets keep the work, and let everyone know our demand, for respect to the national symbols, of each country.
another full israeli support
damn I hate those haters
I dont think we should pay attention to it... the flags are random and it's obviously a troll... so.. who cares?
Cause its inappropriate to burn a nations flag.
so..? they didnt burn it they just post images of it for the sake of posting images of it without real meaning... it's called a troll and we should'nt take trolls seriously.
Personally, I think, than is a limit, to what shall be aceptable, that images of flags burning, its just a part of it all. And we have atleast the responsability, of let know, than actas like that one, aren´t welcome.
Fair enough but I just ignore it.
Lo vuelvo a repetir : You Are Sili and in your house they don't know
