i saw a ref do it in game, it looks like the hitler salute. It doesnt matter how exact it has to be they still shouldnt have that as a signal.

@Donpatch88 It does not. The german salute in the Third Reich was the roman gladiator salute - i.e. the outstreched arm, 45° from body and horizontal line. The illegal motion signal looks a bit like the variation only Hitler himself used to show at parades, but even this version was vertical (hands top), not horizontal (hands to the side).

The illegal motion signal awfully looks like the WW2 German salute.
