Lambert and I, along with many readers, agree that Ukraine has sparked the worst information environment ever. We hope readers will collaborate in the comments to reduce the fog of war – real fog and stage fog. None of us need more cheerleaders and linkless repeat memes; there are platforms. Low-value, unlinked pom pom-waves will be hit immediately.
It’s not just a polite request to someone new here. We have written a site policy, and those who commented have accepted these terms.To avoid having to resort to the nuclear option of shutting down comments altogether until more sanity prevails, as we did in the 2015 Greek bailout talks and Immediately after the 2020 electionwe will ruthlessly mediate and blacklist violators.

PS Also, before further emphasizing the moderators we’ve already highlighted, please read Our website policy:
Please don’t write to ask why a comment doesn’t appear. We do not have enough bandwidth to investigate and respond. Complaining about moderation decisions/stumbling blocks using the comments section earns troll points for reviewers. Please don’t do this. If we come across these comments, they will also be deleted.
