Simply put: The job of the moderators is not to expunge content YOU may find
politically inappropriate or in poor taste. They merely enforce the content and
usage guidelines set forth by BrickShelf. As for the "Iron Reich" glorifying
Nazism, I'd say that it's not at all the case. It appears to be a parody of both
Fascism and certain elements of the Soviet Union. It's a joke, lighten up.
