Watermelons have been viewed as a major symbol in the iconography of racism in the United States since as early as the nineteenth century. The truthfulness of this stereotype has been questioned; one survey conducted from 1994 to 1996 showed that African Americans, at the time 12.5 percent of the country's population, only accounted for 11.1 percent of the United States' watermelon consumption.
While the exact origins of this stereotype remain unclear,[better source needed] an association of African Americans and watermelon goes back to the time of slavery in the United States. Defenders of slavery used the fruit to paint African Americans as a simple-minded people who were happy when provided watermelon and a little rest. The stereotype was perpetuated in minstrel shows often depicting African Americans as ignorant and workshy, given to song and dance and inordinately fond of watermelon.
I'd wait until someone important posts an outline of what is and isn't allowed after the banner purge.
I want a message from the devs themself why its a "inappropriate banner."Hah, good luck with that.
Well your banner is clearly not medieval, you could figure it out by yourself. Nobody sliced watermelons like that back in middle ages.

So what, did they just swallow them whole? Guess I forgot that archaic homo sapiens could unhinge their jaws to swallow large prey...

As much as I like to eat watermelon, the banner should be obvious to anyone that it doesn't fit with this mod(no fun allowed).

I had my cup clan banner removed from the last cleanup (RIP CUP CLAN) even though i was max rp banner and now i never buy custom banner againCUP CLAN WILL FOREVER BE BEST CLAN :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
what makes you think panos being banned will stop mods from banner purge?
Well... Looked it up and here.. From Wikipedia!
Strange.
I think it's because a bunch of banners that aren't "authentic" are being purged. Some M&B village maps do have melons growing in the farm areas. Maybe if you swapped the pallet from 90s pastels to "authentic" middle ages colors you could keep it? I'd wait until someone important posts an outline of what is and isn't allowed after the banner purge.
