It was brought to the attention of myself and several other members of the Administrative team, that Ravensbruck Station takes it's name from a Women's Concentration camp.
Now, ignorance of the rules regarding naming, or the forums being down, are NOT valid excuses as to why you would name your base after such a thing.
Where's the common sense at, people?
In short, the supplies were removed from your base, and we fed it to the wolves.
Don't build another base with a name like this again.
We would have happily renamed the base but you decided to go ahead and destroy is without contacting us.
It was 40+ hours of ingame effort to build it to the point that is was at.
There are absolutely no rules on the naming of the base, AND the forums we offline. We also were not aware that the name was related to something terrible.
I honestly think this is extremely unfair. And a reason why I probably won't continue my playing on this server.

1) Here is my perpective. The entire forum was down when we buil this.. so we had no idea what the rules were..
4) Like i said before we didn't know the rules
7)And yes it so happens to be named after a Nazi camp LOL
that would be my rebuttal bye— Wolfgang - Zach, Today 7:30 PM
The above quote is an excerpt from a conversation I was shown last night. Those aren't exactly the words of somebody who had no idea what their base was named after, are they?
The action we took, was initiated because, in fact, the base name itself falls under "Racist or hateful content".
As I said here last night, ignorance of the rules is no excuse. You and yours should've had enough common sense to choose a different name to begin with.

End of story.
Yes when this so called player said it was named after a nazi base I said LOL cause I had to look it up. I didn't even realize that.
This isn't even in the rules so I am not sure why you had to destroy it. It just should have been renamed. Seriously this is such a harsh thing just to destroy a base i spent so much time on.
Also I am not sure where you got that from but that person who contacted me was really not so nice.
I'm just going to say this plainly and keep it short.
We (members of the Admin team), do communicate with one another, you know?
You told one of us that you got this name by googling "german name with raven", yeah?
Seven pages into that search, nothing with "Ravensbruck" came up.
The German word for Raven is "Rabe"
Oh and for comparison, if you search "Ravensbruck", seven pages in, the results are -still- about the Concentration camp.
Please, don't take us for fools, You chose a name that is clearly offensive, for reasons that are plainly obvious upon a simple google search, and so we decided to take action.
You've been a member of this community since 2009, that's plenty long enough for you to know that this sort of thing is unacceptable here.
You made a bad decision, and consequences have been set.
