Do the People You Report for Offensive Emblems get Banned?

[Mac Tonight]

Because last night, a friend and I were playing Tribute and one player's emblem almost made me wanna go offline due to my beliefs and how terrifying it was. It was an Upside Down Pentagram, the worst of it's kind. I reported it, but I don't know if he was banned or not. And you people better not derail this thread due to my beliefs. Stay on the topic.
EDIT: Mod, please lock this thread.

I think he means no. I'm not certain myself though so I can't verify. Personally it doesn't seem like it should be a bannable offense. Just have their banner reset to default or something

Well I hope it restricts them from making emblems for a time being.

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: Yes, each report submitted to the team is thoroughly investigated and dealt with accordingly. Offensive emblems are not condoned by the team.

this is a joke right?

Here's the real question: would an upside down pentagram be a bannable offense? Not everyone follows this guys religious beliefs, and some religions see the pentegram entirely differently. That would be like banning someone because they had a man/goat head emblem (largely considered satanic) because it offendes someone's Christian beliefs.

No offense to the OP, but just because the emblem goes against your personal beliefs, it should not be a banable offense. So I'm really interested to know if such an emblem would be. And if so...where and how does Ubi draw the line?

Why do I feel like I made people laugh at me? Also, are Pentagrams used in other Religions as a sign of hope and peace? I'm sorry, but this emblem was stuck in my head after I saw it the entire time. So please forgive me for just asking this. Not just emblems that go against beliefs, but any offensive emblem.

I'm sorry, but I could easily turn it around if you had a cross on your shield (something very common by the Knight faction) and say your cross offends my Wiccan beliefs (not that I'm Wiccan, just an example). See the problem here?

Speaking of wiccan, many witchcraft type religions, including wicca, use a pentagram during their rituals, not as a sign of evil, but as a sign of protection.

Maybe some in this thread are laughing at you, I'm not. I'm legit asking if that kind of emblem is considered offensive because I think it is wrong to ban people over a religious or faith symbol. Again, no offense to you, but that is wrong to even expect Ubisoft to do.

Well, I'm sorry. It's that seeing a Pentagram terrifies me. So if I offended you or anyone here, please forgive me. Is there a way I can get a moderator to lock this thread?

Apparently not. You'd have to be pretty misinformed to take offense to a pentagram, one would assume. But that's just my atheist POV.

I'd argue that anyone with an inverted pentagram has a pretty good chance of using it just to be offensive (Warranting a ban) but the symbol itself isn't inherently "Evil" or "Satanic"

Providing the symbol is used satanically, that's just the flagship for their beliefs. No different than the Christian cross. Makes me wonder what would happen if I went around reporting crosses under the guise of "Being offended"

I'd probably be banned myself, actually.

Anyway, my bad. Kinda got carried away there but I'm slightly confused as to why this is actually a bannable offense in the first place.

Not trying to belittle you or anyone else. I'm actually curious. You didn't actually offend me at all, but I am very interested in Ubijurassic's answer to this. The thing is, what is considered offensive and what isn't can be very subjective and they need to be very careful what they ban or don't.

Just want to know where ubi draws the lines with offensive emblems and what they ban for.

[Skygaze]

Makes you wonder what's actually considered "Offensive" as it's pretty subjective and if people are being banned for having pentagrams that confuses me even more.

I mean, the five points represent the spirit and the elements in Paganism, and it was even used by Christianity to represent the "Five wounds of Jesus"
