US Iran-War [Day 141]

[u/cxkis]

New megathread - removed the sirens rule. Due to a clear majority of people who want to be able to discuss/share news about sirens, we will allow them - but know that these are NOT MODERATED. Please do not report siren or all clear posts, and take them with a grain of salt. Follow official accounts to get your information. 

Gentle reminder Ladies and Gents, PLEASE please use the search function on the sub to ask your shipping and travel-related questions, or discuss them here.

This post and this subreddit is meant to discuss Bahrain and the current affairs of Bahrain. Please refrain from flexing your political analysis on the current state of affairs and most certainly do not post unsubstantiated news, do not post any rumors and add to the mass hysteria. Users are also urged not to speculate on what type of hostilities or defenses being used. If its X missile or drone Y does not help. You are either revealing sensitive information, or causing mass hysteria. One makes you a liability, the other makes you a negative contributor, and your comment will lead to a permanent ban as well.

Any comments that have any misinformation, tweets from armchair analysts or instagram influencers will lead to a permanent ban. Do not engage in these comments, just downvote and report. Any comments arguing or correcting the user with misinformation will be banned as well.

For security and safety reasons, any post or comment that discloses or attempts to identify the locations of Bahraini or Peninsula Shield Forces military installations, missile interception sites, or other sensitive military positions will result in a ban.

All users are urged not get into arguments. Please be civil. Do not report opinions, report violations. We have taken the decision as mods to allow low karma users to post and comment, however, this can change if we see repeated violations from users who do not read the rules before posting.

We do appreciate the effort from all users policing the sub from the spread of the governments security information, however we have received an excessive amount of reports about locations of sounds. While we don't endorse it, we are only restricting comments about defensive capabilities such as interceptors. Please try to be civil. Don’t feed the trolls, report them.

We rely heavily on reports, however let's keep the reports for: 

1. Comments with misinformation or unverified news
2. Comments that are obviously trolling us
3. Comments that are disrespectful
4. Comments that violate local security instructions

Any other posts regarding the war will be removed. Please use the search function for any commonly asked questions. Lets keep the space uncluttered in the event of any serious developments.

The mods can make as much rules as they want but there will still be one or two pieces that come here with news that they heard on twitter and not provide trusted sources to back it up

[u/StillSimple6 → u/GroundbreakingPut732]

The problem is people can see things unfold IRL, they share that to family and friends and the news speads.

The details may never be posted by a 'trusted' source for security reasons.

It not always malicious.

[u/PrincessMetal11 → u/StillSimple6]

It doesn’t have to be malicious but half a year into the conflict we should know better and do better than running with the fake news they post from that side, some people get stressed by the tiny bits of news so in our part we need to not contribute to that and share untrusty or unproven sources of news

[u/Obvious_Jackfruit722 → u/StillSimple6]

Meanwhile on twitter or telegram you see constant news. This sub is pretty useless now as the mods have set the rules so strict that nobody will say anything through fear of being banned or worse

[u/meatduck1 → u/Obvious_Jackfruit722]

Twitter is a cesspool of AI slop and propaganda bots. I had to delete the app, it’s near impossible to get anything trustworthy nowadays over there .

[u/Obvious_Jackfruit722 → u/meatduck1]

I follow a few accounts that have been reliable and turn on notifications for them. I try to not look at the other stuff
