of course i totally condone genocide + matters related, but my point is that you can't just ban people from using them.

I'm not banning people. All I'm saying is that it simply isn't appropriate to be shown on a public, professional mapping organisation.
I'm sure if somone called one of their cities 'Auschwitz', there'd be a major outcry. So why not Treblinka? The same thing applies.

Oh, but I assure you there would be.
You see, right now, everyone's sticking to their 'diverse hobby of micronationalism' principles. But when it happens for real, you won't be talking like you are now.
And even if there isn't some angst about it here, there definitely would be on MNN- mark my words.

Well it wouldn't be just from Max either, I do not in any way support the calling of such places Auschwitz. The Connotations are too strong, and even should the thing be in seriousness something to help remember the holocaust in Micronationalism, I still could not support it.

Auschwitz was made for one purpose and no matter what still represents that purpose, being one of the foulest imaginable. I know that there would be an outcry if a nation went to such an extreme. I seriously doubt I could give any nation my respect for doing something of that calibre.

Should the name be lesser though, or have parts of the name, I won't mind as long as they are used as different words, and don't have the same connotations.

The way I look at it, there are three reasons for doing this:

1) Likes the name
2) Supports Genocide
3) Show respect for those killed

IMO all of these are valid reasons, and whild I may not like the second one it is not for me to decide. MCS, Just a Map.

I apologise if Novatainia has offended anyone to do with the name Treblinka. I didn't realise this name was used for a concentration camp. I shall look into who suggested the name and ask him or her if they were aware. Once again I apologise if Novatainia has offended anyone.

OK.

After asking where the name came from, one of our upstanding citizens said he made it up, and it was a random occurrence. Once again, sorry if we have offended anyone.

Actually, Treblinka was one of the most notorious.
And it wasn't in a town, it was just one railway station right next to an extermination camp. OK, so Auschwitz and others were near towns, but Treblinka, Salaspils, Maly Trostinec, and many other camps were in the middle of nowhere.

I don't know if that's appropriate or not- after all, I doubt anyone would be too happy having an Auschwitz on the MCS map, so why must we have a Treblinka?

That was a complete accident, sorry, the name was one of a list I made up randomly that sounded cool ...
I didn't think I'd need to google every one to check if they were taken, obviously I was wrong ...
