Hello there,

Palestine flag is not in the list of flags. I would like to have it.

Cheers.

To my knowledge the admins have never added any of the requests, such as states, cities, and territories. Seeing as Palestine is not an independent country, I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Skizo
I can not believe you wrote that, and since you did...
Wrong on all accounts.
I asked for Amsterdam flag & got it, skizo this is filesharing world, there are no borders, wake up. Your explanation is beyond retardation.

Aturdido attached is the Palestinian Flag (in correct format) which one of the mod's will immediately implement and also apologise for the naivity of the latter mod.

Welcome to fst.

Here is the texas flag just in case some mod spites its lack there of.

Who put a stick up your arse ffs?

How is my saying, "To my knowledge....", wrong? :blink:

Sorry my explanation didn't appease your tender sensibilities, but I was fairly certain it was accurate. I can recall requests being made before and all that I recall were turned down so as not to lead to more and more requests, so I replied as such.

I'm not sure why you're getting so bent out of shape...

The best answer to Aturdido request would have been;

"It has been added".

it is a .gif ffs

"Seeing as Palestine is not an independent country, I wouldn't get your hopes up."

This is beyond comprehension.
I sadly do not have words to explain why.

On a site with genre like this, on the internet which is free from political borders it could not be more hypocritical, such a petty .gif, which you know damn well is an extremely painful subject.

Get rid of the flags altogether.

I agree with Zed.

"Northumberland" isn't a country either, but it has a flag you can choose which was added by request.

I see no reason why the Palestinian flag shouldn't be added either.

Also the EU flag. That might be nice. It's a pretty flag.

It wouldn't be totally unreasonable.

I even put in a request myself some years back. Mine was denied then and any subsequent requests I've seen have been turned down as well. It seems the mere mentioning of that yesterday set off some fireworks, though not with the thread starter oddly enough. :unsure:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_flag

In 1967, the state of Israel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel) banned (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ban_%28law%29) the Palestinian flag. A 1980 law forbidding artwork of "political significance" banned artwork (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_art) composed of its four colours, and Palestinians were arrested for displaying such artwork. [5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_flag#cite_note-4)[6] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_flag#cite_note-5)[7] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_flag#cite_note-6)
In Israeli public opinion there had been a prolonged debate on whether or not the ban applied to peace movement using the flags of Israel and Palestine combined, such as Gush Shalom (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gush_Shalom). On some occasions activists wearing badges with such symbols were detained by police and prosecuted.[citation needed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)]
Since the signing of the Oslo Peace Accords (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oslo_Peace_Accords) in 1993, the ban has been relaxed, but is still occasionally enforced.[8] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_flag#cite_note-7)[9] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_flag#cite_note-8)

That's funny. I would like to know who gives the country "tag". If you can explain me that or show where there is a "country list", I would be delighted.

The state of Palestine is a proper country. It might not be universally recognised as such, but enough people think it is. No reason not to put the flag in.

One might wonder why we need them at all on here, like half the board use some other flag than their own, anyways, but if we're gonna have them at all, why not, since he asked.

Not having it was no great injustice or anything, though.

If you mean a duplicated account, I am pretty sure I'm not.

I didn't want to raise a political or administration issue.

I asked what I thought is fair, as there are, at least, 4 flags in the country list that aren't proper countries.

If it can be done, thank you. If not, it is no big deal. I can live without it, although I would like to have it.

Cheers.

okay, I will add the flag.
I will also add all of the american states, the canadian provinces, along with any other requests.
But I want to do them all at once.
Can somebody upload a set of province and/or state flags for me to add? (must match the current country flags).

Also I want to change the name in that case from 'country flag' to 'region flag' or something. Any suggestions?

Dont get whats with all the sarcastic comments about adding all the american state flags etc, im sure simply adding the palastine flag would have just done.

p.s. credit must go to 100% because im sure if not such a senior member had said nothing, nothing would have been done.

Also some countries and people dont recognise Israel but i see there flag here; quite righly i might add that it should be, just because some people dont think so dont make it so.

well palestine was the request in this thread but texas was requested once before.
Why would I allow one person's request but not someone else's?
And if I add one state flag I might as well add them all.;)

Fair enough go on then, ill be expecting them soon. Really dont get why y trying to make a bigger deal of this then it should be.

Im sure noone expects u to do flags of every state of every country. All u have to do is add one persons coutries flag, im pretty sure u wont be indated with 1000 requests for new flags the next day.

Animated ones that don't match but eh I'm bored:

Is this the set we use now?

Also, I have this World Glag Set, It has them all, not the states, wish I could find the state ones that match this ico set.....here's an example icon.

Northumbria is a Kingdom older than England. It's just unfortunate that maps now only show 7 counties in your Mongol Nation, only one of which retained its colours. :snooty:

I can't see a problem with legitimate territorial flags such as Palestine or Cities/Counties etc.

IF it gets too big an issue we can always alter the rules.

I don't think Admin/Mods should have to go look for them or convert them to a usable format however, if someone wants one let them find it.
