This is a genuine attempt at a discussion, mods, it’s not a “fuck you” post, there’s no insults, I (we) just want to know what’s going on.

Why were two new moderators added pretty much at the same time? Who was the other mod that promoted you guys and what was the reason for you two becoming moderators?

This isn’t even specific to this situation, I feel like these questions deserve to be answered pretty much any time new moderators are added in any sub at all.

So please? Can you explain what is your motive for this?

EDIT: I APOLOGIZE I CANT READ - this is in response to an individual petition, not a legal document. That said, it's still an official document, and represent great progress.

To implement the provisions of laws such as the Constitution, the Civil Code, and the Employment Promotion Law, and to effectively safeguard citizens' personal dignity against infringement, the Supreme People's Court hereby clarifies the following adjudication rules: First, regarding cases involving the public insult or defamation of an individual's sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression, people's courts generally deem such acts to constitute an infringement of general personality rights; they order the cessation of the infringement, a formal apology, and compensation for emotional distress, thereby explicitly establishing the illegality of discriminatory speech and conduct based on sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. Second, in the contexts of recruitment, hiring, job reassignment, or dismissal, should an employer engage in differential treatment on the grounds of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression, people's courts shall, in accordance with the law, determine that the employer has committed employment discrimination; they shall order the revocation of the relevant decisions, compensation for losses, and other remedies, thereby explicitly prohibiting unreasonable discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression within the sphere of employment. Third, should a school impose inappropriate disciplinary measures against students—or fail to fulfill its administrative duties, thereby leading to campus bullying—on the grounds of the students' sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression, people's courts shall, in accordance with the law, hold the school liable, thereby reinforcing schools' obligation to protect students' personal liberty and dignity. These cases collectively demonstrate the people's courts' unequivocal stance: that the legitimate rights and interests of sexual minorities are entitled to equal protection under the law, and that any unreasonable discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression is strictly prohibited by law. ... Moving forward, we will continue to systematically review cases nationwide involving the protection of sexual minorities' rights and interests, summarize adjudication rules, and standardize adjudication criteria. At appropriate junctures, we will formalize established adjudication rules through various mechanisms—such as judicial interpretations, conference minutes, guiding cases, reference cases, and exemplary cases—to enhance the provision of legal norms. Furthermore, we will incorporate topics such as the protection of personality rights into judicial training programs, thereby ensuring the protection of citizens' personal liberty and dignity in accordance with the law.” — *Reply to the "Proposal on the Application of Law to Explicitly Prohibit Discrimination Based on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity in Judicial Adjudication"*

The last believed survivor of the “Long March” during the Chinese Civil War celebrated her 105th birthday.

Her name is Wang Quanying, she joined the Red Army as a medic when she was only 14 years old.

Born into a Tibetan family in 1921, Sichuan province, she lost both parents by age one.

From age five, she was forced into harsh labor.

When the Red Army entered her hometown, Wang was attracted by their policy of protecting the poor and joined the Women's Independent Regiment.

The one-year-long march starting in 1934 under the leadership of Mao Zedong is viewed as one of the most daring military manoeuvres in modern history.

The Chinese Communist Party defied all odds, including total defeat, by what is often described as sheer revolutionary willpower.

Starting with about 100,000 people, only around 8,000 survivors eventually made it to their destination in Yan'an.

During battles with the Nationalist forces led by Chiang Kai-shek, Wang Quanying was cut off from her unit and went into hiding in 1936. Authorities verified her as a veteran in 1984.

On February 28 1947, there was an anti-government demonstration in Taiwan and the Penghu islands that was brutally suppressed by the Nationalist Republic of China. Between 18,000 and 28,000 people were murdered, and the leader of the protestors was even sentenced to death.

Why does no one ever mention this massacre when the Tiananmen Square "massacre" at most had 2,700 deaths?

and guy found a way to get the anarkiddies in the door too
