In consideration of those who use UI's that autoplay videos, and that posts would show up in /All, the rules for posts containing combat footage have been changed:

From now on, any new post containing combat footage should have "[Combat]" in its title. If any of the footage contains visible humans in combat, alive, injured, or otherwise, then the post must have the NSFW flag checkmarked.

As always, extreme violence, and gore are still prohibited.

Thank you for your understanding.

I've been getting complaints about footage that is technically non-violent but leaves enough to the imagination that it apparently bothers people, so I wanted to get input regarding where the NSFW line should be drawn.

The video posted here is a perfect example of where I think the limit is. The only complaint I can see is the discharge of a firearm. Does that count? Is 'being able to put 2 and 2 together to know what happened' enough to warrant flagging as NSFW? Was the previous status quo good enough?

Setting aside the obvious "I know it when I see it", please share your thoughts.

Until a better consensus of where the line should be for the community I will leave it temporarily flagged as NSFW.

I changed the community to NSFW because people were complaining that drone footage cutting to static was NSFW and displaying in 'All'.

Edit: To be clear I do not think this is NSFW and would gladly revert to not-NSFW if admins and community don't care about the inevitable complaints.

I don't think so. Got it from a royalty-free site.

I flipped the image r to left think it would look better on the right bar where you usually see it and that might be what's weird.

Edit: oh, I think I f'd with the tint or something to make it a F up as a joke.

Different server and mod(s). Pretty much was created because that TIFU didn't show up on my searches for whatever reason. TBH its too early to really say. Hopefully it gets used more.

It was a PITA to fall asleep last night but I do feel better today thanks. It only hurts when I move now.

 

So, as was walking my two English Setters as I normally do when one of them decided to take a dump in my neighbours grass. They are young and not as well behaved as I'd like, but, did sit when I commanded so I went about fishing out the bags from my pocket. So happy was I that they had the sense to relieve themselves so close to home that I failed to appreciate why they were both fixated in the same direction.

Had I simply taken the time to see what they were looking at I'd have realized there was a new pair of dogs being walked around the corner across the street and had my guard up. Just as I stooped down to pick up their mess they both simultaneously launched themselves at full force to go meet the newcomers, taking me with them... No, seriously I was like a bobsled being dragged behind a team of huskies only instead of snow it was cement I was sliding over.

I let go of the leashes, yelled for them to come back (which they of course ignored) and got up to give chase. By the time I limped up to them they had happily made 4 new friends (2 of whom I thanked for grabbing their leashes). Went back and cleaned up the original mess and hobbled right back home to clean myself up.

Both my kneecaps are entirely covered in scab and the underside of my entire right forearm/palm had to be bandaged by Nurses and wrapped.

I am in so much pain right now.
