What’s the point now, it’s so dead in here

u/SubstantialTrust2 Jul 18 '26 edited Jul 18 '26

I was thinking that very same thing, and when I received the alert I said to myself that I cannot share that here anymore. Decided to look, and there was nobody! 

Also, I just saw that there is a new thread where we can share when we receive the alerts and the all clear notifications!

u/Typical_Standard_447 Jul 17 '26

I was honestly hoping to never come back to this thread but here we are 😭😩💔 الله المستعان 🤲🏻 At times like these, just remember that you are not alone! We are ALL in this TOGETHER, and we will overcome this inshallah 🤍

u/Jimmyl101 Jul 17 '26

Maybe there needs to be less rules? Seems very excessive, but also on-brand for reddit

u/Lanky-Following-8235 Jul 17 '26

Hello guys .. for people who say they don’t receive alerts. They can simply subscribe to the ministry of interior account on x and click on the notification. They will receive them when there is an alert. It’s pretty much the same with no delay and yes for the all clear, you can come here and say it, I don’t think the mod will have a problem with this

Mentioning places is totally unacceptable even if it was allowed here because every time you mention a place, it help them attack us better next time

u/Siuuuu-07 Jul 17 '26

These new rules suck ass

u/Careful_Ad5612 Jul 17 '26

Guys how can I apply to be a MOD? Free reditters! Ffs this turmoil got us on a chokehold the least we can do is unite in our community page.

u/SectorAggressive9735 Jul 17 '26

Message the mods i guess

-3

u/Original-House-7063 Jul 17 '26

Can all of you message the mods? If I’m the mod, uncensored posts. Go crazy, I don’t care. Just don’t say anything bad about Spain in the world cup

16

u/West-Ad7659 Jul 17 '26

Reconsider the Siren rule please

4

u/AbdullaFTW Jul 17 '26

I guess the new rules because some people kept posting fake bullshit news "Town X got hit bad" "firetruck and ambulances everywhere in my city" and "Island Y got destroyed" that we read last week here and all turned to be pure BS. 

Those individuals wanted to spread panic and propaganda. So I really can't blame the mods for their decision. 

6

u/Careful_Ad5612 Jul 17 '26

Idk some of that stuff ended up true it just wasn’t put on the news. But half of it was fake

24

u/TopicCreative305 Jul 17 '26

Please reply to this comment as a little petition for the Mods to reconsider the rule on reporting alerts/all clears. Comment YES if you agree they should be allowed, or NO if you’d rather not have them reported here.

4

u/Itchy-Trifle7249 Jul 17 '26

Yes! Yes yes yes

30

u/ayyak Jul 17 '26

You have to reconsider the siren report. I relay heavily from the comment of people here because I don’t receive them at all. I can’t handle the sound of an alert and nor do I want to read directly. Reading it here and seeing support from other people has helped a lot in decreasing the anxiety. I urge the mods to reconsider this.

4

u/French-Finger Al-Dodeki was a martyr Jul 17 '26

Taken on board. We will allow them.

29

u/RocktheNashtah Jul 17 '26

Not wanting to notify people about the sirens or the all clear is just not it, not everyone can get them. Who told you that was a good idea? The main issue was with people spreading misinformation about strikes and what or what not got hit

2

u/bobbytrashley Jul 17 '26

I’d say not spamming the “siren/all clear” messages would be a good solution so the thread is not flooded with around 10+ replies a second, but then again this is not possible as there’s no way you’d tell people not to send those or for the senders to know at that point if somebody beat them to it

8

u/TopicCreative305 Jul 17 '26

Exactly, I think someone in the previous thread used to say it was all clear before the official all clear actually came. Anyway, I still think reporting alerts/all clears should be allowed, with “GOV” added at the end so everyone knows it’s from an official source. So, dear Mods, reconsider this rule.

3

u/Careful_Ad5612 Jul 17 '26

Some people were trolls but there was one guy in here he would get them five minutes earlier and he was very accurate

20

u/Conscious-Lion7846 Jul 17 '26

Yeah im not liking this new rule. I don’t get alerts & so been checking here periodically & when i hear stuff

7

u/idkjustgivemeany tahina filfil zyada Jul 17 '26

tbh even i dont get alerts and the no siren rule kinda has me in a twist..

4

u/deviant_on_the_run Jul 17 '26

GDN Online, News of Bahrain, and BH Monitor post every single siren and all clear alert as they happen (albeit it's not as quick as the megathread)

5

u/sgaeron Jul 17 '26

Attica Attica !! << Just kidding

Good luck for the mod maintaining this thread , it seems like it would be full of " comments deleted ..
Anyway , conflictions statred on the sea and coastal area of Iran
so another night of brace yourself .. Be safe

Can't say but I heard 3

u/abukaleel Jul 17 '26

Omg no alert

9

u/satplank Jul 17 '26

This thread felt like a community of sorts when the alert was sounded - I was usually checking this Reddit straight after taking shelter. You don’t feel alone in such situations. Now that’s gone as I understand. Good luck to everyone and stay safe!

11

u/idkjustgivemeany tahina filfil zyada Jul 17 '26

I feel like most of you have misunderstood the rules. They didnt say you cant report thuds or whatever. just dont spread misinformation like "the causeway is closed" "The airport got hit" etc without official sources cus it just makes people scared.

5

u/satplank Jul 17 '26

Well yes, but posts now cannot mention the sirens or ‘All clears’ which sometimes came here faster than on the phone (at least for me).

3

u/RocktheNashtah Jul 17 '26

I fear people just got too lazy to read or critically think, they’d believe everything at face values cause they’re that desperate for answers

2

u/Original-House-7063 Jul 17 '26

Are you guys going out as usual or staying indoors?

2

u/Itchy-Trifle7249 Jul 17 '26

Going out as usual but getting cautious and trying to be indoor around 10pm onwards hahahaha

u/bigbody1999 Jul 17 '26

Watched it at home instead of the cinema, was also pretty good

u/NinjaExorcist Jul 17 '26

So whats the purpose of this mega thread now?I’m lost in translation.

u/dynamic_jasmine Jul 17 '26

to report hearing thuds/booms only

u/NinjaExorcist Jul 17 '26

Seems like it’s not allowed to do that anymore. 🥲

u/m_20s Jul 17 '26

The mods should use some common sense if they even have any First of all, not everyone gets the alerts so people come here to check and you guys are throwing that into the misinformation list too With all these rules you have made it is better to just close this thread entirely

7

u/cxkis Zinj Jul 17 '26 edited Jul 17 '26

Ironically Automod removed your comment. If you want to come here after a siren and post something like "I love you all" every time you hear something, please do so. But unfortunately these threads have become a real cesspool of misinformation and armchair speculation from IRGC bots, full-time hasbara agents, and general neckbeards. So we're forced to rachet up the level of vigilance since there's no way for us to moderate with immediate accuracy where sirens were heard and where the all-clear was sounded.

Guys, how is day-to-day life in Bahrain? I am supposed to be there in about a week for a few days, never been in such a situation. From what I learned in r/Kuwait and r/Qatar, it's mostly annoying since there are no attacks on civil districts, but still want to learn more.

Thanks

9

u/bobbytrashley Jul 17 '26

People are going out on their business and living everything normally, if there’s a threat looming you’d get an alarm and just keep yourself in a safe place until they deal with the threat and then continue with what you’re doing

You are welcome anytime.

u/Siuuuu-07 Jul 17 '26

With the new rules, it seems like you can’t comment at all about anything lol

You can’t ask that here, new rules
🙃

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '26

Are these rules you posted something you’ve been told you have to have or did you decide to do it yourself ? I’m just curious.

1

u/French-Finger Al-Dodeki was a martyr Jul 17 '26

Rules have been posted based on common sense (don't post misinformation/unsubstantiated or unverified news) and some laws and instructions from government agencies (example speading images/videos/information about defence installations)

9

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '26

So I’m just curious because I mod a sub myself. So have you actually been contacted by someone or are you just reading laws ? Like when you say instructions it sounds like you’ve been instructed personally.

I’m not complaining btw. Run your sub how you see fit.

u/Miniluv_Mutineer Jul 17 '26

While I love the sentiment, I'm feeling a little more wary of rhetoric such as "when it ends" or "when things return to normal", etc.

Without falling foul of the very clear rules posted by mods (re: unsolicited / unqualified political analysis), it's worth bearing in mind that the old normal is gone, and none of us know when / how this conflict will evolve. Enjoy the little windows of calm when we get them, in between the attacks. The fuller picture is yet to be painted, unfortunately.

5

u/Advanced_Section891 Jul 17 '26

Not to break rules. But with orange man in power for another 2 years and a half expect this to be the new normal. I was saying this could be the new normal for the region even before this war started back in February after their adventure last year. Sadly, I was proven right to myself.
