Moderation Updates and MegaThread Palestine/Israel Announcement

Hello Members of r/UnitedNations

The last few months have been unprecedented growth for this sub with monthly views in the community almost tripling to 3.4 million in the last 30 days. Along with this surge in growth has been a significant increase in members and content.

As many may have noticed, a significant amount of our content is related to the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question. As the United Nations Department of Public Information acknowledged in 2008 in their book The question of Palestine and the United Nations. The issue has been on the agenda of the United Nations in one form or another since the Organization’s earliest days. It has been the subject of countless hours of debate, discussion, and negotiation, and we welcome that conversation here on r/UnitedNations. 

However, in order to centralize the conversation all posts related to the conflict in Israel, Palestine, Hamas, hostages, the humanitarian situation in Gaza, the occupied West Bank, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), October 7th attacks, ceasefire, and any other topics related to the conflict in the territory of Palestine will now be redirected to a Megathread that is pinned in the subreddit. This MegaThread will be refreshed weekly. There may be unrelated posts that are caught by the Automod's redirect functionality. Please send a Mod Mail message if a you believe you have a post mistakenly flagged.

Lastly a reminder to please try to remain civil in the sub-reddit. We encourage you to use the report and block features rather than engaging with trolls.

Thank you and we hope these changes to the community will make create a more positive community experience. Please message the moderators if there are any questions or concerns related to this change.
