Yup... Seems legit, I only stated what most people in Germany associate 88 with :)

most german people associate 88 with 1988 and not with some nazi stuff. As I said, nobody cares. Maybe he is a chemist and wants to say H2 ?!

88 is part of the nazi-symbolism which is still used nowadays by neo-nazis is Germany. Everyone in Germany will know what 88 means. Might seem weird for americans but unfortunatly thats the way it is here.

55 can also losely be a nazi symbol, as you can make a pseudo-inverted swastika with the numbers.
As for OP: you germans are paying for what earlier ignorant people sought in a leader (hitler).

Neo-nazis are a bad thing and nobody wants them. Thats the point of this thread but a random 88 could still mean anything, im not denying that.

No ones saying that nazis are good people, but the point of this thread is to try to get someone banned for saying 88 which is bat shit crazy.

Do you really want someone to get banned for writing numbers?

Well the thread itself was ofc a bit polemic since excluding somebody else from community makes yourself beeing a nazi at least in a way... It was more ment like what can i do... as i was life at the situation i can tell u the evidence his 88 was meant as hh is at least legit. But ofc there might be different expressions behind his 88 but none of blasdg??s or whatever he is called.

Not caring at all about that kind of stuff is mostly the best solution.

With all the new "meanings" given to numbers it's a wonder that student's can do math without getting expelled for promoting drug use or fomenting hate crimes.

Even in a german math book 88 might be the correct answer and nobody cares but it really depends on context. I guess u do know the meaning of 69? Its a bit like that nobody cares at anything science related...

Maybe the guy was a ham radio buff:

In amateur (ham) radio 88 is used as shorthand for 'Love and kisses' when signing a message.
