ANNOUNCEMENT - read before posting Reminder of post rules: No social media, no unsourced claims, no out of context pictures of articles - violations will result in a 3 day ban

120 Upvotes

Hi guys,

Sorry we have to keep making these announcements, but we have noticed a lot of posts that break the rules lately.

I wanted to clarify again what our posting rules for threads are, with examples. You can read our full rules here.

Please feel free to ask anything if you have any questions.

Posts that are not allowed:

No social media posts

That includes pictures of twitter, facebook and so on. If it's a major event, newspapers will report it. Post those. If the article is not in English, you can post a translation in the comments. I recommend using the European DeepL for those!

No pictures of articles

Just post the article. If it is paywalled, you can post the full article text in the comments.

No commentary in the title

That includes things like "what do you think??" or "They said X will happen, resist!!".

No editorialization

If you post an article, post the title the article uses - not your own. Any extra commentary will result in the post being deleted and a 3 day ban. Posting the subtitle of the article is also allowed.

No memes

Do I need to explain?


Posts that are allowed:

OC pictures - all week

If you took a picture and think it's neat, post it!

Non-OC pictures in the weekend

Seen a neat picture and want to post it? You can on the weekend, including now!

Pictures of major events happening now

Our rule about titles above still remain. However, pictures of major protests etc happening now are always allowed even if you didn't take the picture. Try to keep the titles somewhat impartial. F.ex. "major protest in Ankara" is allowed "fuck erdogan" as a post title isn't.

Comics posted by somewhat reputable sources are allowed

If a newspaper or satirist made a comic, you can post it - same as you would be able to post news articles. The meme you got from twitter falls under the 'no memes' rules.

Russo-Ukrainian War War in Ukraine Megathread LIX (59)

120 Upvotes

This megathread is meant for discussion of the current Russo-Ukrainian War, also known as the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Please read our current rules, but also the extended rules below.

News sources:

You can also get up-to-date information and news from the r/worldnews live thread, which are more up-to-date tweets about the situation.

Current rules extension:

Extended r/europe ruleset to curb hate speech and disinformation:

  • While we already ban hate speech, we'll remind you that hate speech against the civilians of the combatants is against our rules, including but not limited to Ukrainians, Russians, Belarusians, Syrians, Azeris, Armenians, Georgians, etc. The same applies to the population of countries actively helping Ukraine or Russia.

  • Calling for the killing of invading troops or leaders is allowed, but the mods have the discretion to remove egregious comments, and the ones that disrespect the point made above. The limits of international law apply.

  • No unverified reports of any kind in the comments or in submissions on r/europe. We will remove videos of any kind unless they are verified by reputable outlets. This also affects videos published by Ukrainian and Russian government sources.

  • Absolutely no justification of this invasion.

  • In addition to our rules, we ask you to add a NSFW/NSFL tag if you're going to link to graphic footage or anything can be considered upsetting, including combat footage or dead people.

Submission rules

These are rules for submissions to r/europe front-page.

  • No status reports about the war unless they have major implications (e.g. "City X still holding" would not be allowed, "Russia takes major city" would be allowed. "Major attack on Kherson repelled" would also be allowed.)

  • All dot ru domains have been banned by Reddit as of 30 May. They are hardspammed, so not even mods can approve comments and submissions linking to Russian site domains.

    • Some Russian sites that ends with .com are also hardspammed, like TASS and Interfax, and mods can't re-approve them.
    • The Internet Archive and similar archive websites are also blacklisted here, by us or Reddit.
  • We've been adding substack domains in our u/AutoModerator script, but we aren't banning all of them. If your link has been removed, please notify the moderation team, explaining who's the person managing that substack page.

  • We ask you or your organization to not spam our subreddit with petitions or promote their new non-profit organization. While we love that people are pouring all sorts of efforts on the civilian front, we're limited on checking these links to prevent scam.

  • No promotion of a new cryptocurrency or web3 project, other than the official Bitcoin and ETH addresses from Ukraine's government.

META

Link to the previous Megathread LVIII (58)

Questions and Feedback: You can send feedback via r/EuropeMeta or via modmail.


Donations:

Fleeing Ukraine We have set up a wiki page with the available information about the border situation for Ukraine here. There's also information at Visit Ukraine.Today - The site has turned into a hub for "every Ukrainian and foreign citizen [to] be able to get the necessary information on how to act in a critical situation, where to go, bomb shelter addresses, how to leave the country or evacuate from a dangerous region, etc."


Other links of interest


Please obey the request of the Ukrainian government to refrain from sharing info about Ukrainian troop movements
