You're free to discuss this further in PMs, but what you two are doing now is more of a slapfight than a discussion, and this thread gains little from it. Ok, will cease and desist this unpleasantness. Honestly, this is a pretty good example of what has gone wrong with the discussion in the Ukraine thread itself. Without a common framework the exchanges don't work. Even stricter moderation of the framework (forcing people to be nice) is how I see the thread surviving. | ||

Now it is owned by british citizen Mohammad Zahoor. Nuff said. How is that allowed and acceptable while this is worthy of warning?

The longer article isn't out yet. User was warned for this post It seems to me that in the first post someone deliberately went after ghan on a couple occasions (and Paleman has a history of getting temp banned for things like this in the same thread if I remember correctly) while in the second quoted post there was a link to a local news source that was translated. Or is it too early in the morning and I am missing something? | ||

he's using biased sources himself (kyivpost, ukrainereporter, conflictreporter, nytimes, euromaidanpr), that at times account for little more than propaganda outlets for various illegitimate govt officials. this time he's telling ppl to refrain from using itar-tass after linking 4 isntances of 'false news' posted on a 3 month old, kiev based 'antipropaganda' blog, but he's been doing it throughout the thread (even pando and mark ames, who r so cool). we already have rules of conduct specifying we should provide context for our contribs, the mods can deal with extreme cases, and the readers can decide for themselves. ... one-liner tweets with one picture or movie from biased sources like ukrainereporter, conflictreporter and euromaidanpr, that is not posted in relation to a story and are speculating on what is happening in the picture or movie, is just noise for the thread. three examples, all from ghan: comment when his source ukrainereporter showed what 'may be proof' that the lifenews journos, that the osce asked to be released, and that now were released, were 'helping separatists shoot at ukrainian troops': This is especially despicable as journalists need to be seen as independent bystanders for their own protection. This endangers the lives of thousands of journalists around the world. Which probably suits the Kremlin just perfect. this story was obvious bs, yet it seems like the majority of the posters in the thread actually believed in it. the video had nothing in it that could be construed as proof.comment to a one-liner tweet with a picture, that says 'what is happened is still unclear', ghan provides the speculation himself and presents it as showing 'definite fighting'... Please use reputable sources only. ITAR-TASS either willfully or by mispractice gets its facts wrong. For example, there was definite fighting at or near the railway station. there's nothing in the tweet or pic 'definitely' indicating that there was fighting near the railway station.comment to another recent unconfirmed ukrainereporter oneliner tweet with a pic and no story Breaking news, a great many casualties on the Pro-Russia side (this time Chechens) again, it's not breaking news, it's a dubious one-liner tweet from a biased source accompanied with a picture.and i have no clue why carlbildt's tweets are worthy of constant reposting in our thread. i think what the stealthblue bot is doing in syrian thread, posting tweets or youtube vids where it is clear what is happening (a big bomb is going off) is good shit, though. | ||

The Ukraine thread generates more than half of my mod work, and that of other mods, and seeing the atrocious quality in there, I am frankly not seeing what all the work is good for. I'll give it a little more time since I don't like to action anything while annoyed, but if this continues we'll have to close the thread for good. | ||

do you want only you and Ghan in that thread? Cause you both provide only onesided information. Someone should balance things out you know... | ||
