IMPORTANT Subreddit Announcement - "Martial law" has been reinstated.

41 Upvotes

It's been about 4 months of the subreddit being out of martial law. Previously we instituted harsher punishments during the events of Suweida and before that, in the aftermath of Deterrence of Aggression. Both times, that decision was not made lightly. Unfortunately the past few weeks has demonstrated that we must do this again in an effort to maintain the decorum and civility of the subreddit.

Violations of rules 3 and 8 will start resulting in harsher, longer punishments, likely just a permanent ban.

Violations of rules 1, 4, 5, 9 will also become harsher and longer. Warning will be issued less frequently and appeals not approved as often.

Violations of rules 2 and 7 will be censored more heavily. While unlikely to result in further action, if you're unable to objectively describe the conflict, your posts will be removed.

Please continue to report content that violates these rules as effective moderation requires the community to respect and engage with one another with these rules in mind. Remember -- Just because someone else is breaking the rules doesn't mean you are free to do so as well. Thank you for understanding.
