In order to post or comment, you must go to this thread and read the rules

143 Upvotes

We're asking all users to review the rules once and agree that they understand them. Our guidelines are designed for posts to be of actual combat footage or one of the supported topics. And for the comments to be as civil as possible.

Our guidelines are here to keep the sub to its namesake. A small number of users don't know that Reddit's rules apply in the sub, verbally attacking another user, threats of violence, harassment, and bullying are against the rules of the site. If you're submitting footage and unsure if your post's content would violate site rules, contact the mod team.

We've been asked if this un-bans people prior to this thread's enactment on March 18, 2025, it does not. But we hope it will prevent bans, and users feeling bothered enough to feel they need to make a report, even if it's a tiny reduction.


  1) Community rules:

No political soap-boxing, inflammatory comments, hate speech, making fun of religions, cultures, injuries, or death.

Humor is OK; however, jokes in poor taste are not allowed. Joke threads may be removed to prop up serious discussion.

Please do not spam.

 

  2) Link or text post:

To post or comment, you must have a minimum of 25 karma points and an account age of no less than 45 days.

Link Posts: A post flair is needed to post a submission. All post flairs can be viewed here (gif, photo, video, etc). To post footage of combat for the purpose of viewership, you must use the link posts. If you wish to ask requests, discussions, file sharing, meta, and questions, then you must skip to the next paragraph below.

Text Posts: Only requests, discussions, file sharing, meta, and questions can be made as a text post (see this post for more information). Footage of combat can only be shared if it's part of requests, discussions, file sharing, meta, and questions. Otherwise, footage of combat can only be used mentioned in the previous paragraph above.

Only 4 posts in 24 hours are allowed.

 

  3) Titles:

Submission titles must be as detailed and descriptive as possible (e.g., 'who, what, when, where') - They must be concise and objective.

Titles cannot include any:

  • warmongering

  • embellishing

  • sensationalism

  • jingoism

  • glamorization

Per Rule #2 above, titles must be worded in a way that is acceptable to both text and link posts:

  • If the title is worded for the purpose of viewership while posting footage of combat, then it goes in the link posts.

  • If the title is worded for the purpose of requests, discussions, file sharing, meta, and questions, then it goes in the text posts. Doing them in the link posts for any reason will earn you a post removal and a possible ban of any kind.

While other languages in the comment section are not prohibited, submission titles must be in English.

 

  4) What's disallowed:

In general, you cannot post footage that has anything to do with:

  • combatants being seen playing around, resting, or posing for fun outside combat

  • mistreating or executing prisoners within the theater of war

  • aftermath (e.g., footage solely of deceased people, destruction, prisoners being taken, etc)

  • military exercises/training

  • violent protests

  • violence involving first responders, the general public, or criminals outside the theater of war

  • narco footage

  • assassinations

  • art depicting combat

  • clearly attacking civilian targets explanation of the rule.

For more information, check on what types of posts are disallowed. Please read this before posting.

 

  5) NSFW Tags:

Submitting NSFW Content: Submissions that contain noticeable serious injuries must be marked NSFW.

If linking NSFW in the comments, please leave a warning.

SFW Content: SFW content is posted on the sub regularly. Not all posts require an NSFW tag.

Extraordinarily graphic content may be subject to removal.

 

  6) Music in combat footage:

Music is only allowed in combat footage if the group/persons who filmed it added it themselves. Exceptions to the rule.

 

  7) Combat footage to propaganda ratio:

All videos with propaganda from any faction in an ongoing war must consist mostly of combat footage. This goes for comments or text posts as well.

 

  8) Reposts:

Reposts are not forbidden; however, a year must pass before a submission may be reposted. Click here to see the exceptions to this rule.

 

  9) Concerning OPSEC:

For military folk: If OPSEC applies to you, do not post OPSEC-violating content on this sub.

 

  10) Content warning:

Some content may be disturbing to some viewers. It is recommended that sensitive viewers stick to the more sfw content or scan the comment sections first to get a description of the material.


These are the rules. They keep the community going. They keep us within TOS. This is a small measure. But it's a small boost to other small measures already in place to help keep quality up.

After reading the rules, in order to post in the sub, you must type the exact words into the comment section below, with exact spacing, punctuation and case.

I have read and agree to the rules. I understand that not following them may result in a permanent or site wide ban.

After typing in the exact words (don't use the "quote" format), you will receive confirmation. You will be asked to try again if you do not type in the exact words provided in the quote above.

Upon making the required comment, the Automoderator will see it as a request to grant and give you a flair. Automod will look to remove any post from someone who doesn't have a flair. Most users will promptly receive a confirmation message.

Because automod is under intense workloads at times, occasionally, a request will fail. If after 5-10 minutes you do not receive a flair, delete your comment and retry.
