Hello everyone,

Some of you may have noticed an increased number of posts/videos getting removed from this subreddit. The Reddit Admin team has reached out to us and have warned us that certain types of videos that are getting posted on this sub are in violation of their rules and may result in a sitewide ban of the sub. Particularly videos showing the perspective of HAMAS whether they are combat related footage or not will no longer be allowed as per the Reddit Administration.

We want to make it clear that we do not agree in spirit with this form of censorship, but we will respect the decision and act accordingly. We are here to moderate the Combat Footage forum/community, NOT pick sides in a very complicated and tense geopolitical conflict. Ideally, we would like to allow our users to see the conflict from a variety of different perspectives, but that will not be the case going forward.

It's important to note that footage of terrorism is not allowed on this subreddit. This has always been the case and that rule will always be in place. We have allowed videos and pictures of combat operation strictly of the military sense that sometimes includes footage from terrorist organizations. The reason was not to glorify any terrorist group but to serve as a source of information, news, and education that many mainstream news media sites do not show.

We are currently seeking clarification as to what is classified as legitimate footage to be posted on this subreddit. We hope to maintain that line of communication between the Admins, the CombatFootage Mod team and the userbase.

Finally, we want to make it extremely clear that any violation of the rules of this subreddit may result in a ban. We encourage you to look over the rules of the subreddit. Any glorification of violence, tit-for-tat quarreling, calls for genocide, mass murder, racism, xenophobia, homophobia, etc. will NOT be tolerated. You will face a ban and will be reported to the Admin team for further action. Not knowing the rules is not an excuse, they’ve been up for years now.

Thank you for your patience and confidence in our team.
