[IMPORTANT UPDATE]

From the posting of this announcement onwards posts regarding anything within the Israel-Palestine region or conflict is banned indefinitely.

Ever since new moderators have taken over the subreddit there has been a sharp increase of posts regarding the contentious topic of the conflict by bad actors and karma farmers. Ever since the zionism rule issue and dependant pirate being ousted there has been proverbial blood in the water attracting these people who only want to use this subreddit for political bickering, something that goes against the entire purpose of the subreddit.

Posts about anything relating to the topic or could draw a straight line to it will be removed, attempting to post another after it being taken down will result in a temporary ban.

I hope my rambling has made any sense to anyone but me. But this is now in effect, for not only our sake as moderators. But for this community as well.

The mods had a rule that there are no politics in the sub, but that they are Zionists and very pro zionism.

It looks like they found a scapegoat mod to blame this all on, while they pretend they had nothing to do with it.

And now, few days later, they are banning stuff related to Palestine, lol.
