It seems a bit unnecessary, and a bit distasteful considering its in a German-themed country.
I don't want people thinking that Dundorf is endorsing national socialism because we certainly are not.
J94CK,
Moderation has discussed and stands by its previous decision (linked by Siggon above) to allow usernames such as the one you have pointed out, in an effort to allow political opinions to be expressed. This is, after all, a political game.
The name "adolfhitler123" in general is not banned, but if the player were to engage in OOC hatred he would have broken the rules. Simply for the sake of not setting a precedent - if we ban "Hitler," should we ban "Mussolini?" "Stalin?" One man's enemy is another man's hero. So long as the player does not insult other players out of character, he has not broken the rules.
In any case, it seems that the user has not logged in since he created his party; he may go inactive in 4 days, as many new parties do.
Thank you for your understanding.

I want to ask legality of use of symbols that has been associated with Nazism, because as we know they are banned in Germany.
