I think this is the time for moderators of the board to sit up and regulate the board by deleting anything that will instigate hatred and division in the board.
Moderators will not delete anything unless it is a direct call to violence. There is freedom of speech on the forum and everyone is free to express their point of view, even if it does not correspond to reality. Insults and other foul language also do not violate any rules. So this will never go away. At one time, the politics section in the Russian locale was practically inactive, but now it is the busiest place.
Sorry to hear that, but honestly I am not surprised that's going on in your local board considering the situation and the fact that both Russians and Ukrainians share one local board. Add on that very lenient moderation here when it comes to trolling, hatred and swearing (even though it sucks what's going on in your board I wouldn't like this forum becoming like some others where you can get banned just for saying someone that he is lying piece of shit or something along those lines) and you get this.
Yes, the Russian locale is, in fact, the place not only of Russian citizens, but of all Russian-speaking people from the countries of the former Soviet Union: Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, etc. As for lenient moderation, for the Russian locale it was a very big vulnerability, because thanks to this, trolls could create shitposts for months containing absolute nonsense, provocations, hatred, etc., and no one could do anything about it. As far as I understand, local moderators cannot ban high ranks, this requires the help of global moderators. And the global moderators simply do not understand the Russian language and all these local features, although everyone in the Russian locale understands that this is a troll and a provocateur, but he is not banned. Here is such a vicious circle.
Is all that stuff at least contained in one child board, or its all over? Anyway, I hope things calm down soon and people focus more on what they have in common rather than what divides them, but realistically speaking I don't think war is ending anytime soon, meaning neither the chaos in Russian board.
In the first month after the outbreak of hostilities, it was everywhere, there were political posts throughout the locale. Then it calmed down a bit and the concentration of political posts is now still in the local Politics section, only occasionally going beyond it.
In the Russian locale continue to write about cryptocurrencies, but much less, unfortunately.
