Hi, I have a quick question about the forum guidelines: what exactly counts as a nazi sympathiser?

1) Being a nazi
2) Promoting being a nazi
3) Not having any strong opinions on nazism, including not having anything against it
4) Being against nazism but thinking they have a right to their opinion
5) Being against nazism but thinking they have a right to spread their ideas
6) Being against nazism but thinking they have a right to, well, do anything, including killing people
7) Justifying nazism with cultural relativism

The first two and last two probably count, but especially #2 and #3 are unclear. What about the last one as a provocative thought experiment? #justcurious

Let me tell you what counts towards being a Nazi. We all remember our friend who was unfairly banned for "being a Nazi", even though he was no Nazi:

Apparently if you hold some right-wing views that's sufficient.

While we are discussing the guidelines, here's a copy of a PM I sent to a moderator (no response yet):
