I don't watch war footage, or any other gore footage stuff, because I've seen enough hosed up poo poo to know it kills the soul. At the same time, I can't control what other people watch. If people are posting war porn? Then I'll be the first person to report it, and after that it's up to the mods to decide whether the content is too hosed or whatever. If your complaint is that there are people subtly pulling reverse psychology psyops on this thread and baiting people in to watch wargore under the guise of "don't look at twitter" or something then I don't really know what to tell you. Should saying "be careful on twitter, there's insta-playing gore videos going around" be punished? I don't know, but it's not right now.

Brigading this thread really has nothing to do with it and going apeshit and thinking that this is some kind of circlejerk for snuff and making it your daily mission to tell everyone that is being an insane person.

You see, if a country is the target of an imperialist power, it's wrong to have any feeling on the matter of the imperialist power uses conscripts, because then you're celebrating the death of said conscripts.

Or more simply put: the russian conscript has no business being there, and the ukrainian conscript should not be being shot at or shelled by the russian conscript. Simple as.

So probating people for posting content against the rules is creating a hosed up atmosphere?

If it gets punished less than someone pointing out that that person hasnt been thread banned or punished as harshly for pointing out that the same group of people have multiple light probations for posting war porn, then yes it is

If people are being genuine then it seems like they're interpreting "be careful if you're trying to avoid war footage, clicking through on this post will bring you to a thread with embedded photos" as some kind of cryptic tipoff that this is where the good gore is. Which is bizarre, because anybody who's looking for that stuff already knows they can go to reddit or a billion other sites for it and don't need to rely on secret goon signals.

if there's already a thread that has the correct vibe for you, why don't you just go post in that one?

are you that concerned that you need to constantly be on the lookout? do you think gbs posters are the only people on the internet browsing twitter and reddit?

That's a good point about Reddit- I think think this thread would fit in nicely there!

Hi hello!

Well this has been something.

So there were several reports asking "why we were not moderating this thread". The simple fact of it is moderating on the phone is tedious and annoying as all hell. The forums aren't set up for that yet, and we can't moderate on the app due to security issues. I had to switch to my main computer to frankly deal with the insane amount of reports we got. Beyond that, we have real lives that we have to tend to. The internet is not our lives, despite what many of you may think. I've got things I do, I don't always log in during work, etc etc. Can't speak for anyone else but I assume it's the same thing. We are not hovering over threads 24/7 waiting for the next issue to crop up. This is something we do when we have time. Some have more than others.

Secondly, why are you people biting on this? You can absolutely put someone on ignore, or just not even respond to their posts. It's true! It's a little known tactic the mods and admins don't want you to know, and 4 out of 5 internet janitors hate this one trick. Yeah, it sucks they're coming in, but it's really not that hard to not respond to their posts. It's like none of you have ever been on the internet. So they're saying something dumb and contrary to what you believe. So what? This isn't D&D. You're not obligated to a) take their posts in good faith or b) respond to them.

It's clear we may need a couple more IKs for this thread. If you know of anyone who may be a good IK for this thread, please let myself or Kit know. We'll keep this thread closed for a bit to let everyone cool off and then go from there.

Cheers! :cheers:

There is a limit but it's very high, probably much higher than the number of 'slots' you see. "Edit Ignore List" is mostly so you can remove people from it, I think. I always add from the user's profile.

It sure did!

Defmon is less hopeful than those daily tactical overview maps videos that have been going around identifying individual assaults. I really appreciate them but it's hard to tell where to land on it, but I guess probably closer to the defmon end of the scale. Fingers crossed for an orderly withdrawal on their terms

That makes perfect sense, as you would have to think the two blank slots at the bottom had some meaning or purpose, but as far as I can tell it is just an arbitrary decision, so probably Radium is somehow involved in its creation?
