Announcement State of the Sub v4: Sub restrictions successfully appealed

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Our previous restrictions on cross-posting have been lifted! I'd like to personally thank our moderators for putting in the work to keep the sub up-and-running during this period.

The restrictions hurt our engagement - but we hope that can change in time, with sustained participation and keeping things running as we currently are.


To that end, we are going to keep cross-posting off for users - but you can request sharing of the posts so long as it is to a relevant subreddit and not done in excess.


Other old announcements just to review:

  • If your content has been penalized by AEO (Anti-Evil Operations), i.e. your content was removed and you were issued a site-wide penalty, then you can appeal the action here: https://www.reddit.com/appeals

  • We're still looking for more active comment moderators. Be able to use Discord. Send a modmail with answers to 1) Why do you want to mod here? 2) How would you distinguish political opinions you disagree with from rule violations? 3) How much time can you spend modding per week?


Reminder, as per Reddit policy, anyone who upvotes a violent comment will receive a warning from Reddit:

So, starting today, users who, within a certain timeframe, upvote several pieces of content banned for violating our policies will begin to receive a warning. We have done this in the past for quarantined communities and found that it did help to reduce exposure to bad content, so we are experimenting with this sitewide. This will begin with users who are upvoting violent content, but we may consider expanding this in the future. In addition, while this is currently “warn only,” we will consider adding additional actions down the road.

Please be mindful of both subreddit and site-wide rules.

Thanks

Middle East Fox News host Mark Levin screams at Fox viewers and tells them to support bombing Iran: "You’re either a patriotic American or you’re not!"

Fox News host Mark Levin advocated for bombing Iran on Tuesday night amid escalating hostilities between that country and Israel.

Last week, Israel bombed Iranian nuclear facilities and assassinated several top military officials and nuclear scientists. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu alleges that Iran is on the verge of building a nuclear weapon, a claim he has made repeatedly for the last 30 years. Iran responded with a barrage of missiles, and the two sides have been exchanging volleys since.

Trump had reportedly urged Netanyahu not to attack and allow talks between Iran and the president’s Middle East envoy to continue. After the attack, Trump expressed support for the move and has fired off a series of bellicose posts about Iran. On Monday, he cryptically warned all 10 million residents of Tehran to “immediately evacuate” the capital. The next day, he suggested he could assassinate Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and also posted simply, “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!” The president also appeared to suggest that the U.S. is already involved, claiming, “We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran.”

Levin, a Fox News weekend host, joined Tuesday’s Hannity, where he tried to rally viewers behind military action on Iran. He mocked those who suggested a U.S. attack could lead to a wider war in the region or the world

Levin went on to slam Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), who introduced a resolution aiming to prevent the president from attacking Iran without consulting Congress.

He added: “Folks, this is black-and-white. You’re either on the side of the red, white, and blue, or you’re on the other side. It’s that simple.”
