In case people here aren't aware, when neo-Nazis use the number "88" it is code for "Heil Hitler", "H" being the 8th letter of the alphabet.
Such a usage on their part is wasted if their potential audience does not know that.

It's a sign of recognition to other neo-Nazis. It doesn't have to be recognized by the general public to be effective.
Compare the [[ichthus]] or [[rainbow flag]] or the various code-words, hand-grips, and whatnot of secret societies.
For other numerical examples, compare 420, 93, 42, 23, or 17.

Regretably, I'm not familiar with the numerical codes. Has anyone written an article on these in general? Without this thread my tendency would have been to associate the number "88" with piano players. :-)

Well, we have a [[List of numbers]], and many of the articles for numbers do discuss symbolic meanings. I don't think we have an article for numbers as bywords or signs of recognition.
For those specific numbers, see these articles:
[[420 (drug culture)]] [[93 (number)]] or [[Aleister Crowley]] [[The Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything]] [[23 (number)]] or [[Discordianism]] [[Yellow Pig's Day]]
Please note that it is not reasonable to infer from this posting that I am a stoned Thelemite hitchhiker Discordian mathematician. :)

I suggest that all users using neo-Nazi numbers be monitored by the sysops, and in case we find they are inserting Nazi POV, or displaying Nazi symbols, or generally promoting Nazism in Wikipedia, then they should be banned forever (and notify authorities etc if possible).

Ooh, 23 and 42. Just the numbers I like to use online. regards, sabre23t =^.^= ... btw, 23 there is a play on "2/3rd" that is a play on "toothed" ... ;-)
