Notes on India v. Pakistan

152 Upvotes

Hello all! We've had a pretty dramatic surge in new users posting because of the recent scrape between India and Pakistan. Long-time users have noticed (repeatedly!) that the posting patterns here have shifted to a more bellicose tone and propaganda-based content, prompting this note.

Dear new users: this community is not a place for propaganda; reference Rule 5 in the sidebar. It is also not a place to wage war digitally on behalf of your country - to be explicitly clear, r/war is not a place for you to re-litigate the Indo-Pakistani conflict. In particular,

  • posts that are clear propaganda (example, or other posts that violate Rule 5)
  • posts that attack other users (e.g., hate speech, bigotry, racism, or other behaviors under Rule 1)
  • posts that glorify, celebrate, or otherwise promote warcrimes

are unacceptable conduct and will be removed. Depending on the severity of the conduct, violators will be launched into the sun, or banned until such time as the mods gain the necessary spacecraft to launch them into the sun.

As you come across content that doesn't belong on this subreddit, please help the mods out by reporting it. There are roughly six active mods on the sub, and we've removed somewhere above 5000 violations in the last week - double our usual traffic amount.
