the proposed “flag the whole Ukraine community NSFW” approach has.

To be clear, I was not proposing keeping this community flagged NSFW permanently. That was a quick, naive solution I temporarily implemented not realizing how much of an effect it would have. I'm really asking 'what content should be required to have a NSFW flag?', and unless you have additional concerns we've settled on flagging combat videos that show the people involved (see pinned post / sidebar).

Sometimes stuff gets through for longer than it should /shrug

The rule is right there on the side bar and has been for as long as I remember.

 

In consideration of those who use UI's that autoplay videos, and that posts would show up in /All, the rules for posts containing combat footage have been changed:

From now on, any new post containing combat footage should have "[Combat]" in its title. If any of the footage contains visible humans in combat, alive, injured, or otherwise, then the post must have the NSFW flag checkmarked.

As always, extreme violence, and gore are still prohibited.

Thank you for your understanding.

@[email protected] this will probably affect you most. Thoughts?

All combat footage should probably be flagged nsfw,

I think that is too aggressive. There is all kinds of footage that is clearly safe (eg: drone on drone).

I'm thinking a rule requiring NSFW for combat footage where bodies (living or otherwise) are visible.

I'm being objective. It is an assumption either way as there is no concrete evidence visible in the video. Do you think every drone cam that cuts to static should be flagged as NSFW?

What they 'think' was the last moments. The follow-up drone shows no body, or even blood, so it is likely they got away.

I've been getting complaints about footage that is technically non-violent but leaves enough to the imagination that it apparently bothers people, so I wanted to get input regarding where the NSFW line should be drawn.

The video posted here is a perfect example of where I think the limit is. The only complaint I can see is the discharge of a firearm. Does that count? Is 'being able to put 2 and 2 together to know what happened' enough to warrant flagging as NSFW? Was the previous status quo good enough?

Setting aside the obvious "I know it when I see it", please share your thoughts.

Until a better consensus of where the line should be for the community I will leave it temporarily flagged as NSFW.

I changed the community to NSFW because people were complaining that drone footage cutting to static was NSFW and displaying in 'All'.

Edit: To be clear I do not think this is NSFW and would gladly revert to not-NSFW if admins and community don't care about the inevitable complaints.

While it has been public since late '22 that special forces from a few NATO countries are in Ukraine for advisory and training purposes, I am not aware of any credible evidence for them participating in front line fighting (unofficial/volunteers don't count).

FTR it is an obvious typo: the correct year is 1895

Server rules also apply. R6 is illegal content.

 

Recently, we spoke about the state of Russia's economy after more than two and a half years of war. It was characterised by strong growth but also signs of overheating, as the economy ran at or beyond capacity.

Today, I want to cover the other side, and look at how Ukraine's is holding on after extensive Russian pressure. I'll look at headline economic indicators, the budget, defence production, and the impact of attacks on Ukraine's energy grid.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has firmly stated that Ukraine should be allowed to conduct long-range strikes inside Russian territory, despite threats from Moscow.

This stance comes in the wake of Ukrainian forces occupying parts of Russian territory for the first time since World War II, and Ukrainian officialls asking Western partners to remove restrictions on the use of Western long-range weapons so that Ukraine can degrade Russia’s logistics and airfields in the rear and bring the war to an end faster.

“Canada fully supports Ukraine using long-range weaponry to prevent and interdict Russia’s continued ability to degrade Ukrainian civilians and infrastructure, and mostly to kill innocent civilians in their unjust war,” Trudeau declared at a news conference in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, Quebec.
