I tried advocating/lobbying a rule in February when Russia wrongly invaded Ukraine with the Director about making it against the rules to share US or US allies/friends military positions or movement.I can’t help but think perhaps we shouldn’t be tracking and broadcasting the movements of US capital assets.
This site would become a branch of the current government, we already have you, that's enough. Anyway, several media do it.I tried advocating/lobbying a rule in February when Russia wrongly invaded Ukraine with the Director about making it against the rules to share US or US allies/friends military positions or movement.
But it was sadly denied after a lengthy internal debate among staff. Though happy to bring the debate up again with the @DEFCON Warning System on making it against the rules to post US or US allies/friends military positions or movement particularly in combat/war. Peacetime positions is different story.
I know everyone thinks of me as the big bad corporate government bad guy and your right to think so. Though I'm really not a bad guy, I have a lot more morals & patriotism then most in my bracket.we already have you, that's enough.
No, I don't think you're mean, you represent a percentage of the American population, like other leaders represent other % of the population.I know everyone thinks of me as the big bad corporate government bad guy and your right to think so.

It's the reason why I have in the past and still do want US and US allies/friends military positions or movement not aloud to be posted. At least durring non normal peacetimes like now with our proxy conflict with Russia.
Well if you noticed my wording:If USA\NATO were at war it might be
different, we are not at war, at all
case, not at this time.
That would include Ukraine as Ukraine is a friend at war definitely not at peacetime. No sharing Ukraine positions or movement would be under that rule if it where ever passed (not likely). Though the OSINT community is doing a rather fine job at doing it anyways we should be too regardless.US and US allies/friends
I'm American and I think banning postings Is legitly stupid and against the freedom of speech.No, I don't think you're mean, you represent a percentage of the American population, like other leaders represent other % of the population.
Agreed it isn't like it is secret or top secret information. or the def level represents military def level or we play a part in conflicts and outcomes.I'm American and I think banning postings Is legitly stupid and against the freedom of speech.
There is no "supermajority". It doesn't work that way here.Non partisan yet we got staff trying to recycle up the idea. Plus it's kind of looking like staff is setting up a supermajority to pass this type of referendum on the fourm.
As hard as we try to keep a diverse staff, the fact of the matter that most (not all) are from the West. So there is going to be that natural tendency to lean toward that.Every day we are getting less and less of an oppositional moderation team. It's becoming more and more pro west. This is coming from someone from the west and,has been here since first term Obama.
I think when it comes to legislation on the site we should have moderators and ambassadors for a side. Ambassadors hold no power like that besides being able to possibly stand up for a differing opinion instead of all westies in a chat trying to enforce legislation/rule on minorities which push us out or away. It's kind of an institutional struggle. I'd like to say it right now but, YingYang should be a legit Ambassador for pro-rus.There is no "supermajority". It doesn't work that way here.

And you also have to take into account that there is the "official" position of The DEFCON Warning System and then there are "personal" opinions that are freely expressed here.
I am very pro-Ukraine and think they should stick it hard to Russia. That is my personal opinion.
Officially, when I do stuff for DEFCON, I have to put aside my personal opinions and do what needs to be done to provide an accurate analysis while keeping that neutrality.
