i agree, i refuse to take this discussion further as it seems pointless and exhausting to me too 
Umm, here in the UK some of our police cars even have the rainbow now , not to mention every facet of social media, advertising and such 
It’s absolutely inescapable what it symbolises, so I can flip your argument around and say that is being forced on other people. So put it in a build, some will see it as a display of lgbt.
/Just incase you say “They can ignore it”, that’s true for every symbol or build then.
Anyway i’m done, i’ll read any reply but this twice now I got into these debates and trying v hard not to continue it.
Staying on topic, I’d like to say I’ve seen crosses in some of the random graveyards. Not many, and I wish I had taken a screen shot, but they are there.
So I think architecture is something that would be allowed.
Signs/pushing beliefs, though, I can’t say anything for. That’s where the devs step in.
IIRC they said in the past they were explicitly removing these and I see none now, so they would probably appreciate a report with in-game loc.

Continuing the discussion from A really serious question about svastikas:
My 2c-
If you want to build something with a religious tone, make it a boundless religion? Something intentionally fictional rooted in-game.

Ooooh… well shoot. I’ll be sure to do that if I happen across another. Pretty sure it was on alnitians or serp as I was mapping those at the time. Narrowed down to two planets at least. =/
He isn’t even religious I don’t think. He’s a massive troll and he has some friends there grabbing up plots as they become available around psyborgs area. I was checking it out a min ago, seems the guy has made it his mission to troll psyborg. He even said it, been going on for many weeks.
So now I get the anger.
Sadly the only way to deal with trolls is ignore them. Eventually they get bored and quit or get more aggressive and break a CoC so you can report them.
Also, having a video capture tool always ready can be useful I think this guy already broke CoC by harassing people while they are online.
About the crosses… is the only funny this I saw coming from this guy. But signs with any king of propaganda(religious or political at least) from real world should be banned. My opinion of course.
Then you would be breaking peoples born rights, protected by the Constitution… Through freedom of expression, and practice of religion. This game can’t afford to make enemies with large groups of people this early… Sure you can say “this isn"t America” etc…but you’re going to just be barking to yourself.
The only real way to combat it, is ignore it.
I agree with this 100%.
I’d rather see “Satan is Lord” than “Jesus prays for you” personally. I’m very much against organized religion. All or nothing seems completely fair to me.

I actually disagree with this. While I personally am not bothered seeing it, I believe that religion has hurt human society and that any spreading of such beliefs has a negative impact on the world as a whole. To each their own, I dont attack people for such beliefs, but I’d much prefer not to see it around.

Exactly, and straight to my point: How do we draw the line between an accurately reproduced cathedral that was built for its architectural beauty and one, similarily accurately reproduced, that was built with the intention of proselytising?
I guess we can’t, so I’d leave it out of the CoC.

TIL what proselytising means. Thank you google and thank you @gnarly
Not an American, but I don’t think your right to freely express your religion includes the duty of a foreign, privately owned company to provide you with the virtual space to express said religion.
