    Just to be clear, we don't have any intention of ever banning anyone for the appropriate use of any flag, as long as it does not violate any site rules. The simple inclusion of a flag on a build in this manner doesn't violate the rules, it's placed in the same boat as people who put the swastika on replica/fictional german builds. However, the use of any flags to generate political arguments will be removed.
    As Dorian has stated on the actual post, any users who report posts that have flags used like this going forward will have strikes added to their accounts. This is an issue we shouldn't have to be dealing with and reiterating with players constantly. Let players the flags they want in this manner, it doesn't affect you ability to have a good time on the site.

    @CanadianAircraftBuilder its under the hood of the car. And the reason that they’re mad is that the CCP (chinese government) would much rather try to convince people that Taiwan isn’t a country, instead of invasion. Since China is a dictatorship, it means that it is very risky to have an opinion that differs from the government narrative, so a lot of people end up getting fired up over what really shouldn’t be that big of an issue.

    Although some Chinese users may be angry, they should consider that alongside the build seen here, This is also allowed with the comments removed only after it got politically heated. So they shouldn't quite feel like the Mods are against them.

    @AWind46 I'd say that PRC flags shouldn't be allowed either, if the softcore war going on between them is your reason for censoring the RoC's flag.

    @AWind46 So you're fine with a swastika on a build for historical accuracy but want the build dead when a man you don't even know just wants to put a taiwan flag to represent his family. Go cry lol

    @MintLynx Well, you do have a point, but that doesn't mean that other people who share my views also agree with you.

    @bjac0 's work is really good, but if possible, I hope he will pay some attention in the future, after all, the situation in Taiwan and the mainland is unstable now, and posting some works about political issues in such a period will really stir up others' emotions.

    @AWind46 Arguably, though at this point editing to cover it up would only stir up a new flame at this point. Given the precedent of allowing swastikas even on fictional German WW2 builds I wouldn't count on Taiwan flags being prohibited.
    .
    There is an argument to be made that allowing Swastikas infringes on the sovereignty of Poland, France, Russia, and all the other places Nazi Germany invaded. Not to mention it being offensive to Jewish People and even many modern Germans. But due to such builds being made in the context of the Historical setting they aren't deemed as pushing the ideology.

    @MintLynx In this case, wouldn't it be better to slightly modify or shield the flag of Taiwan?

    Kinda sucks for the mods here, there's literally nothing they can do that won't stir things up politically. There's a lot of Chinese users and it's evident that the flag provoked them, but removal would have provoked a lot of non Chinese users. Then again, it can easily fall under similar context of argument to the use of Swastikas here.
    .
    I just hope this situation doesn't get the game banned over there because there's some great builders from the country and I'd hate to see them forced to leave the site due to politics.
