Reaffirming ban on graphic content.

[WishLivePak]

@Jazzbot here is your post: https://defence.pk/threads/police-kills-11-pat-protesters-in-lahore.319473/page-32#post-5807834

We had long argument and despite me giving you proof violent pictures aren't allowed, you refused to read up those proof and insisted this is 18+ forums (nowhere it says that). I hope you read this thread and consider that this is not the place to post graphic pictures, nor it ever was.

@Jungibaaz @Horus @Chak Bamu @WebMaster :

It is my opinion that links to graphic stuff should be allowed, maybe as "hidden links" with a warning to those who click it. I'm saying this because the graphic nature of some pictures actually depicts the graphic nature of reality out there. What is happening in Syria and other war torn places is not pretty. By completely censoring all such content, you may be whitewashing what is happening. I understand that you wouldn't want such pictures displayed on your website, which is why I'm wondering if you could permit external links with sufficient warning. I mean, clicking the link should give a message that the user is leaving PDF for an external site with graphic content, and only discerning and consenting viewers should proceed.

I'm just suggesting this as constructive criticism. I myself have not posted any such pictures, nor do I intend to. But I have a feeling that such pictures might serve a purpose - to teach people the horrors of war. I'm sure you know that there are many active members on this forum who yearn for war, in the mistaken understanding that it is all about glory and laurels. Maybe if they get a dose of the reality, the horror of war and conflict, they might become less prone to warmongering.

I'll draw a parallel to my own experience. I once visited an exhibition, where there was one stall put up by the local authorities, full of graphic photographs of road accidents. Since then I resolved never to overspeed or pull stunts on the road or break traffic rules.

NO, just no.

If you want something like that, go look up reddit or similar sites. They've special sections that require consent if you're 18+. There, you can post and view as much disgusting pictures you want.

This is defense forums, not gruesome forum.

I made it clear in my post that I have no intention of posting such pictures.

Anyway since webby saab doesn't want a debate on this, I won't discuss it further. I was only offering my opinion, with reasons for the same.

@WebMaster posting of dead people picture or dying people allowed if they're from Pakistan? Like dead people from islamambad dharna? Or this applies to only middle east?

Just comply as instructed.

Videos/images of ISIS and their propaganda videos are banned.

Videos/images of people getting killed and injured in Syria/Palestine/Iraq are banned. They are too graphic for this forum.

There is no debate on this policy, basically it existed and we are just enforcing it, and enforcing it hard.

Old intro threads are deleted and hoping new members introduce themselves constructively as it was losing the section purpose.

what do you mean by Images of ISIS? Almost all the photos in Syria comes from IS sources. Does it mean all of them are banned or only the graphic ones?

GRAPHIC photos of ISIS, but i suggest not promoting their messages/pics/vids either by posting them. That's what they want, dont they.

Ok this is getting more confusing. You don't want even text news about how many they killed? Even if linked article is FOX or CNN?

Graphic photos/videos of ISIS is not allowed. Is that ok?
