First of all, the Confederate flag does not represent "states rights" or "freedom." The flag that you used as your avatar was never adopted officially as the flag of the Confederacy, but was a battle flag used in war. It was later used by terrorist groups such as the KKK, and has become a symbol of racism, terrorism, and white supremacy.

There are a couple reasons why you cannot have an avatar that is a symbol of racism, terrorism, and white supremacy.

1) You were politely asked to remove the avatar in compliance with the reasonable request clause in our policy. If someone asks you to stop engaging in offensive behavior (in this case the flag) you need to comply in accordance with this rule.

2) Racist content is in violation of our rules.
