Reminder on this specific Thread Rules. Everything Else Gets Pruned to the Donb Ass or other threads.

Just a reminder of what doesn't belong in the Invasion Thread and What Will Be Shunted to the Donb Ass Thread and Repeated Violations Will Result in Threadbans.

Few pages worth of "discussion" were relegated to the Don Bass thread. Several threadbans have also been issued, mostly due to Rule #2 Violations. Since this hasn't been said recently (though its been stated repeatedly), this thread is for reporting and discussion on events and news directly...

Collating all of the Gonzalo Lira posts into this thread below instead of having the discussion taking place simultaneously in three different Ukraine War threads as it was yesterday. https://www.the-sietch.com/index.php?threads/russia-ukraine-war-political-discussion.7627/

Okay sounds good. We'll prune these 'debunking' discussions into the Donb Ass thread. Gimme a few minutes. EDIT: Posts Moved. We'll see how effective it is but all of the arguments/discussion about veracity of sources (like the audit tweets we've had of Oryx for example) will be pruned to...

Still pruning the thread regularly. I'm just not obnoxiously posting red staff texts every day or two to tell everyone. A few posters were taking issue to the nature of the thread pruning and that's understandable. There is no legally defined redline or anything for pruning but I did prune...

More Iraq War Discussion Pruned to the Donb Ass Thread. Nothing else major to report really. Found this amusing however... 👀

Bunch of posts (with the exception of one) shunted off to the Don Bass. Once again, quibbling about sources without proper counter-evidence beyond your hot takes is not allowed in this thread as those discussions derail this conversation with endless circular conversations about said sources and...

Arguing about sources... and then countering by spamming/multiposting said sources has resulted in a whole conversation being shunted off to the Donb Ass Thread where it may or may not continue since it was basically an ego battle hijacking this thread. It's particularly annoying since there was...

More posts moved to the Donb Ass Thread. This thread is for reporting on events happening in the War itself. All other tangents include food or the inevitable plunge of the petrodollar or whatever, as well as posts bickering about sources, or peoples unsubstantiated hot takes/amateur...

Seems like a good idea. Thread Made: https://www.the-sietch.com/index.php?threads/fun-with-geography-and-location-names.7617/

Removed almost seventy posts rehashing what has been talked about in a combined three thousand posts worth of threads already. If y'all wanna act like Donb Asses, there's threads for bickering about the leadup to the War... again. As before, and I've been pretty lenient, derails like this can...

More posts pruned. Most were relating to Assad, comparisons to the Iraq War or posts that were engaged in personal speculation and commentary. As stated in previous staff posts, personal hot takes can go to the Donb Ass thread. The primary purpose of this thread is discussing and covering the...

Cuts in to cut out more extraneous conversations. Decided to leave in the extended Javelin/Cope Cage conversation though. I'm not sure its a significant topic on its own but if the discussion continues then I'll probably prune it into its own thread later. A lot of the topics that drifted, or...

Forty or so posts skimmed off. Some actually already had threads created for those very topics and in a rare glimmer of extra effort, I moved posts to said discussions. Shocking I know. Doubtful it will be repeated. But just as a reminder... We have threads on the Biolabs in Ukraine...

Almost eighty posts pruned from the Thread, almost half of them since my last Threadmark. A few commentary posts which again, will now go into the Donb Ass thread as well as conversational drift about Neon, NCO's and some huge tangents about the Responsibility for the War and people derailing...

More commentary heavy posts and the recent lovers spat gently pruned off with a meat cleaver and kicked off into the Don Bass thread so it won't take over discussion over the next five pages.

Most of the past few pages of posts were of people talking to each other about disagreements in the leading up to the War, which while related to this conflict, has already had a thread about it... with over two thousand posts discussing that topic. That can be found here...

Sixty Nine (that's what she said) posts have been moved to the Donbass Derail Discussion thread. Unfortunately some of the posts blended discussion with the actual invasion with a lot of other topics such as Iran, the Vietnam War, China, Canada etc but alas... almost none were spared since I...

Hence forward, we'll be adopting the policy inspired by this post below. If you feel that disinformation has been posted, feel free to post counter-evidence or analysis to discount the supposed information instead of attacking the poster as a liar, fanboy, Nazi apologist, racist, or otherwise...
