Is flying an upside down American flag as a player emblem acceptable?

I believe it represents an american in distress. It that is the intent it is probably OK in my book anyway

Hi Buzz, thanks for stopping by...im glad to see that people come here with questions...and Karow for the quick answer....I had to look it up....and Karow is right...."Flying the American flag upside down is an officially recognized signal of distress. Here is the relevant part of the US Code of Laws regarding how to fly the flag when in distress: THE UNITED STATES FLAG CODE.    I really had no idea...and Im glad to see people pointing out emblems, it helps the admins that aren't in game to see it..Thanks again

Thank you again for the reply.  I do know an upside down flag American Flag is a signal for dire distress.  But I also know in real life nobody playing BF4 is under distress.
Why it bothers me, I don't know.

You've never seen me play.   I would say I am in distress for the entire game.

I see no issue with the emblem.
