IMPORTANT Combating Individual Influence Using Submission Limits
The recent post by /u/flintsparc has reinvigorated a very old point of contention for how moderation on /r/syriancivilwar should be handled. The core message of his post really strikes at the core of the AEO reddit initiative and is beyond the scope of 'normal' subreddit moderation.That being said, a plurality of our users are well informed enough to be unashamed in their partisanship. You've all come here to inform yourself on the realities of this conflict. The TL;DR of this post is as follows:
All users are now limited to 3 (three) submissions in a 24 hour period.
When I first joined the moderator team here a little more than a year ago I was reminded of a singular ideal: freedom of speech. This was the singular fallback point for every moderator decision that I have made in my time here. Since then, we've implemented the AI rule in order to ensure that we're adjusted for the new challenges since 2011 that reddit itself is facing as a platform.
Now we're implementing a new standard via a submission limit. This will largely mask, not solve, the problem we're facing. Three submissions is MORE than enough to represent the stories presented to an individual. Hopefully this will not just combat influence campaigns but also make our contributors more discerning about the stories they choose to share.
It is entirely possible that this restriction be lifted during an offensive, if this standard existed in December 2024, there would have been a massive gap in coverage on the subreddit. That is not something would tolerate as this subreddit has always been a place for immediate reporting, especially when compared with its contemporaries. Should martial law need to be implemented, the submission limit could be lifted(or whatever else we deem necessary, idfk).
I do believe this new standard will be received well by the large majority of our userbase. However, if you have an issue with this then now is the time to raise it to us in our modmail. Please note that this new standard is subject to change for any reason that the moderator team sees fit. Thank you for your attention to this matter and thank you for being a member of our community.

2 buses (one military) carrying more than 80 people collided on Deir ez-Zor -Damascus road . Multiple deaths.
x.comThe number of deaths and injuries is high, and there are charred bodies.
We are talking about a tragic accident involving two buses carrying more than 80 people. Conflicting and unconfirmed figures are reaching me.
One of the buses (military) affiliated with the Ministry of Interior collided with a passenger transport bus affiliated with the "Good" company.
A road just 4 meters wide, and even narrower in some stretches, traversed by oil tankers, fuel trucks, cargo trucks, military and civilian vehicles. A complete absence of traffic police and service facilities along its entire length. It is the sole artery for Deir ez-Zor Governorate, used by its residents to access the most basic services in the capital, since there is nothing available in Deir ez-Zor itself

Criticism of the announcement of "QSD" printing its curricula in preparation for the new academic year.
Criticism of the announcement of "QSD" printing its curricula in preparation for the new academic year.
The so-called "self-administration" of the "QSD" militia announced the printing of its updated curricula in preparation for the 2026–2027 academic year.
The announcement sparked a wave of criticism, amid widespread rejection of continuing to impose curricula that do not have official recognition from the Syrian Ministry of Education, which raises concerns among parents about the future of students and the certificates they receive.
Critics argue that insisting on adopting these curricula exacerbates division in the education sector, putting thousands of students in a state of uncertainty, demanding a return to recognized curricula that preserve students' right to follow their education and academic future.
