I am interested in how the thread feels about military stuff moving forward - the missile one didn't result in any harm to anyone (I'm familiar with the video) but the helicopter crash definitely did

I'm open to keeping it frowned upon but case-by-case, or it can just be a flat 'nope not worth it' - feel free to let me know here or via PM.

I'd rather not just implement a rule without taking you guys' thoughts into consideration so please do provide your opinion!

Oh death is definitely not allowed, I'm talking more along the lines of things like the misfired rocket.

If people are more comfortable disallowing Ukraine war content specifically rather than military stuff generally that is also OK! I'm not a frequent reader so I would like to get the thread's opinion rather than imposing something by fiat

I don't personally care about unseen death too much, either way, so the above ^^ preference is totally reasonable.
Also, bloodlust is obviously bad, but most of the people I've seen claiming that about this thread have been lunatics that are the ones posting the worst things as a weird way of justifying their claims.


What is really loving irritating is the people that Kramer into a post with a car crash and saying confidently that someone died in that, implying that they have researched it. And then after a two page derail, someone uncovers the news article that says everyone was fine.


Like even in that situation, when there's no bloodlust, are people traumatised by seeing two vehicles hitting each other where you can't see anything? Taken to logical extremes, someone is dying in all the pictures of the Earth from space.

Honestly it's a derail I'm requesting so I apologize in advance to the thread. In the helicopter instance the tweet itself stated that 3 people died so it was an easy call to make

Thank you all for indulging me in this btw. In light of the recent St DA's Day Massacre I think it's best to discuss this stuff openly

I'll hijack the end of the OP and post whatever we come up with there just so future IKs/Mods know what's up later

Put in a derail asking for clarification all you feel you need to. It's much better than how this thread was moderated previously and helps keeps things funny/interesting rather than some kind of one-up-manship of who can get the thread closed the fastest.

As the original poster of the missile one, will share just a couple of thoughts:

- did not intend for a derail, derails inherently take away from what I come to this thread for
- I originally interpreted the clip as 'automatic missile did a u-turn and blew itself up, lol' vs 'idiots killed on camera' (I also assumed anti-missile stuff is automated so limited human impact)
- no immediate harm/death imagery (no people directly in the video)

There's already a Ukraine War thread that's gleefully posting every time something goes badly for the Russians in Ukraine, so I feel like if folks want a Schaden thread free of war posts, that won't deny others a place to post or see them.

I, personally, don't mind it, but I think we should keep respecting the "no death/visible maiming." So something like the "benny hill" video that made the rounds a few days ago, where a terrified Russian tank driver bonked his tank into a tree trying to escape a single Ukrainian infantryman, would definitely qualify.

Or at the very least, if someone feels they have a real knee-slapper of a story that does unfortunately involve a spectacular moron losing their head, keep it as a well-described clickthrough link rather than inlined.

I think the thread just proved that harmless stuff like the misfired rocket opens the door for deadly stuff like the helicopter crash. Making a rule against death won't help much, after all there was already a rule against war stuff in general. Moving that line back isn't going to help.

I'm fairly sure there was already a rule against death. I'm happy to re-up the rule against war stuff - war is inherently a deadly endeavor, and there are other threads for it.

Military in general? more of an open question - things like the hilariously inept videos from the tank olympics in Russia, for example, are defintely Schad, but it also only exists as the result of machines designed exclusively for killing people. It's not as clear-cut imo

This is the kind of thing you're encouraging with this line of questioning, so it's probably better to just blanket ban military schad in general unless you want more bloodthirst and debates about what counts as schad and whose explosions are good to cheer on etc.

Russian rocket, sure that's fine according to this guy's standard and i don't think many people would argue, even if it turned out people died. What happens when someone posts a more ambiguous video or one whose provenance can't be figured out? Are you ready to start looking at every report involving one? For the thread that can barely handle non-military violence?

Soldiers do stupid poo poo all the time that can be absolutely hilarious. Blocking combat poo poo is fine but laughing at, hypothetically speaking, soldiers rolling a truck in Ukraine because they hosed up should still be postable.

Just ban war chat and use the no deaths rule for images/videos.

I think there are enough instances of soldiers loving up in non-lethal fashion that aren't directly tied to an active globally significant combat situation that it's not that limiting a rule. Easier to not tempt war chat in the first place.
