That thread was the best source of updates and information about a war that has been greatly affecting people's lives in this country for over a year, you loving halfwits. It's on the evening news here every day with much less strict content rules. And you let a bunch of ghoulish psychopaths who celebrate war crimes against children close it down -- We made the decision to close the GBS thread for the Russian Inasion of Ukraine because GBS is not the place for a war thread. While GBS has many virtues, the forum's fun pants-shittng, shitposting nature is not a good fit for a thread about an ongoing conflict where people are being maimed and killed. When reviewing the decision, we came up with a another reason to close the thread, which is that the raison d’être for the thread was, in part, a belief that some other parts of the forum were genuinely evil. We should not have threads on the forum that are motivated by the belief that other parts of the userbase are genuinely evil. If posters wish to have serious discussion about the Russian invasion of Ukraine there is the D&D thread. If posters wish to make poop jokes about the Russian invasion of Ukraine there is CSPAM. If posters wish to read posts about the Russian invasion of Ukraine from goons who were in the military, there is the GiP thread. These places may be different from where you normally post. That’s okay. Over the past few weeks we have received a number of emails, messages and reports concerned about specific posts in the thread. We plan to review those posts, and may still decide that particular posts require action. -- (USER WAS AUTOBANNED FOR THIS POST)
