Does this member's avatar comply with terms of use?

The symbol is illegal in several countries in which WP members may be accessing the site, and potentially exposes WP to legal risk.

I'm unfamiliar with the image in that avatar. Can you tell me what it signifies please?

3rd SS Division Totenkopf.

Quote:

The division is infamous due to its insignia and the fact that most of the initial enlisted soldiers were SS-Totenkopfverbände (SS concentration camp guards).

The member seems to have reverted to his previous, perfectly acceptable avatar. If that was a matter of moderator intervention, I thank you. If he has done so on his own initiative, I apologize for the intrusion.

It was, and you're most welcome.
