Actually the ability to weaponize Twitter is amazing. Just wait until Your Posting Enemy links a tweet then comment on it on Twitter with a gore video, pop back here and report them.

Bam, ban+30. If they fall for it again, they might even get perma'd.

Switching to screencaps is most likely mandatory precaution in the future.

you can't actually moderate this in a punishment capacity because the comments are always changing (new ones added) & reordering. My personal stance as an IK is if someone in the thread posts something like "holy poo poo dont scroll in the comments of this tweet!!!" i will edit the post to make sure people indeed don't do that.

However you can't actually punish people for this stuff as long as tweets are legal. I'd place a wager that almost basically any tweet that has been posted about this kind of subject matter, if you scroll in the comments at one point or another, has some horrific stuff. It is a pretty good argument for banning tweets entirely from threads about thorny subject matter and allowing screencaps only. But until then you can't annihilate posters for it.

Reassisted Retrogression
Let's not start breaking rule 2 everyone. The SAD discussion may be relevant to this thread but let's not derail into probe territory. However to my knowledge it is mostly aimed at discussion elsewhere of the I/P conflict because as far as I'm aware we have been on good behavior lately.

This goes without saying but don't post death videos! Screen cap is probably safest, and it's doubtful that the veracity of captures will be contested. And if they are there are usually other sources to prove wether events did or did not happen which are less volatile than tweets.

That should be done anyway. gently caress posting twitter links expecting others to visit that garbage site. In fact it should be a thread rule to either screencap or copypaste the text in any tweetpost.

No, it's going to be a site wide thing. Doesn't matter if it's war gore, sports gore, work place gore etc.

I posted it more so to get awareness to it as SAD isn't read by everyone so people aren't caught out. And also to pop over to SAD to read/post.

Spengs post I quoted is a good stance imo

Yeah which isn't a good thing. 10 year bonds are what the rest of the world thinks about your economy. It's the go to place to see the state of a countries economy and the confidence everyone else has about it. Number steadily increasing is not good.

Getting a set of curated plausible(ish) front line rumors and items that haven't yet reached the main stream newsworthiness from social media from both sides of the frontline is the best content of this thread, always has been. Otherwise its just wanking about and poo poo jokes.

Sure. Just take 5 extra seconds to copypaste them or screenshot instead of pasting twitter links which require the readers to wade into the muskovite website to actually read. Espescially if the comments are relevant since they cannot even be seen these days without logging in.

I seriously doubt Russia has the means and capability to do such a thing. Iran on the other hand...
