The fact that Ukraine still holds parts of, still fights, and somehow gets supplies in, and wounded out of Mariupol is pretty excellent.

I am not sure whose rereg you are. I honestly don't care.

McNally does a pretty great job of keeping GiP threads mostly free of stupidity. There are a few IKs who pitch in and help keep things generally on track. Unfortunately, this thread attracts a ton of attention from all over SA and we get lots of drive by poo poo posting from other parts of the forums.



If that's you. I will refer you to my previous statement. Everyone else who hangs around and contributes with good faith discussion are better off without these stupid interruptions.

I apologize for the reddit link, but pretty interesting interview (if it's real) with a Donetsk separatist spetznas guy about the situation in Mariupol. Not sure when exactly it was filmed, but tl;dr is Azov battalion dug in and armed to the teeth and they control the comms, though the separatist guy appears pretty confident they'll eventually be able to finish off the Ukrainians because they have a lot more manpower and can call in airstrikes. Also no actual Russians to be seen in Mariupol, it's just DPR separatists and Chechens fighting the Ukrainians.

I'll chime in as one of the outsiders to say that I appreciate this thread for being a fairly grounded source of information with a commendable signal:noise ratio that also doesn't tolerate lovely political derails or post inline trauma porn.

I'm not posting much because I don't have a lot to add, but I appreciate the contributions that are made here by the regular posters and also the effort put in by the moderation team to keep this thread on the rails.

One of my twitter follows observed that Putin can let the DNR guys take all the casualties and it won't blow back on him. Same for the Chechens whose casualties will blow back on Kadyrov, or so he hopes. For the bloody urban slog, these groups are the fodder and they're paying for it.

And yeah, Mariupol is pretty fuckin doomed, sadly. The area of likely Russian control is steadily tightening over time.

Really hekk? It’s a legitimate observation. Based on the communicated minimum punishments, it’s worse to skate on your membership fees, or gently caress someone over in SA-Mart than it is to post loving photos of 3 year olds raped and killed in a war. Think about that. Tack on the history of the people running SA’s moderation being of loving extremely dubious character Aattrek, Schmorky, Shim, etc and it leaves a real bad taste. I personally believe that if anyone were brazen enough to post that poo poo here McNally would give ‘em the spicy ban- but I’ve been in GiP for a long time, I doubt herstory has, as I’ve not seen posts in GiP by them.

Really what it is at the heart, is a communication issue. McNally wants to make sure we don’t do it, so he knows that Ban+30 is more than enough to keep us regulars in line. But this sub forum is a part of a larger organization, one that prizes :tenbux: and smooth e-commerce so much that when you gently caress around with those things- it’s a permaban. Saying your punishment for something like this is a minimum Ban+30 says that the crimes aren’t equal.

Again, McNally said that would be the minimum punishment. And again, SA as a whole has said that :tenbux: or being a scumbag in SA-Mart is a permaban. At a minimum.

So observing the incongruity of these rules and punishments really shouldn’t be met with “gently caress off elsewhere” and maybe needs to be met with a clarification or a clearer communication of things.

Besides, your a goddamn IK, not GiP gate keeper. My nephew is a hall monitor at his elementary, he’s got more juice and pull in that role than you do as an IK in here.

In short: Communicate better, and don’t be a dick to new people here. We have a hard enough time getting people to come in here and commiserate with us. And that’s without telling them to gently caress off when they accurately observe these inconsistencies in punishment.

And the answer isn’t QCS, it’s you and McNally doing a better job communicating.

I want to emphasize that I don’t think you or McNally would give any jack rear end that posts that stuff anything less than scorched earth, but that’s not what was communicated in here. And you can’t expect a non regular to know that or even think that.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk, I’d like a large whopper and a McFlurry pls.

More of a comment than a question really. I don't know whether you're a troll, a naive idiot or a cynical propagandist but if this site had even semi-competent moderation you would be permabanned for being a member of an illegal paramilitary invading force on a sovereign nation, a mercenary and a probable war criminal. I know Russians operate in fantasy land where they believe the constant stream of bullshit pumped out by Kremlin approved media but in the west we have actual independent news sources who don't have to clear their narrative with a neofascist dictator and his cadre of crooked thieving oligarch cunts before reporting them so I don't think your lies are going to convince anybody here except the kill Amerikkka crew who was already on your side. Your little "man at the scene" reports are as believable and trustworthy as an IS jihadi's. Please stay out of Ukraine and stop killing and supporting the killing of innocent Ukrainians by a neofascist regime mad because Ukraine finally told it to gently caress off.

Also the Ukrainians can't be occupants because they're operating in their country. Novorossiya and DPR doesn't exist except in the diseased minds of Putin, Dugin and the useful idiots they employ to destabilize Europe.
