    When you literally add “if you commit real life treason, we will ban you from our videogame forums” and it still doesn’t work.

    No force is stronger than the autistic urge to correct something that is wrong in the special area of interest.

      If I had a nickel every time someone posted classified documents in the WarThunder forums I would have 2 3 Enough.

      They didn’t say disagreeing with moderators, they said disagreeing with moderation.

      I read that as: You can disagree with how a mod applies the rules and challenge that. You can’t disagree with the rules themselves, the rules are the rules, take it or leave it.

      And personally I think complying with NATO export restrictions seems like a good rule.

      Wiki requires citation. It’s pretty easy for a government to have someone go in there and revert it for being uncited.

          Once it’s been declassified. Executive Order 13526 specifies the necessary procedures. Among other things, it states that the original classification authority must set an expiration date, after which the information should be declassified.

          If an earlier date isn’t set, documents will be automatically slated for declassification after 10 years, or a maximum of 25 years(at the discretion of the classifying authority), barring certain exceptions.

          In the United States, at least, it’s not illegal* for regular citizens to publish leaked documents of whatever status. It is illegal for security clearance holders to access information they’re not cleared for, regardless of where that info is. If an Internet forum allows classified leaks, that would make it difficult for security clearance holders to safely browse that forum.

          • There are statutes on the books that would punish this type of behavior, but they are usually considered to be unenforceable because of the first amendment to the Constitution. Julian Assange was a notable example of a non security clearance holder non-US citizen who was prosecuted under the Espionage Act. (Or at least an attempted prosecution that never quite cleared extradition…)

    And yet in that same timeline Okami 2 has been announced 18 years after the release of the first game so as long France postpone its warning shot until the game release and I can finish it, I’m ok with that ^^

      Oh shit, Okami 2 is finally happening‽

      Can we get an rerelease of Okamiden to go alongside, please? Have all 3 in one place?

        nope, no okamiden since Kamiya is returning as Game Director and he consider Okamiden as a Capcom treason. Okami 2 is officially the direct sequel to Okami replacing Okamiden in the timeline

        yes and it’s one of the best game ever. It has since been rereleased as “Okami HD” on modern platform and the sales on this remake must have been really good since Capcom has greelight the recreation of a whole game studio “Clover”, rehiring the old Okami Game Director and one of the japanese gamedev legend Hideki Kamiya to make the sequel

      Simply put: no. It doesn’t make any sense.

      Russia as a whole will not be cut from the internet. North Korea isn’t cut from the internet. The public is. And the public does not need this information

    technically this one wasn’t actually classified, it’s just “NATO restricted” so if you live in a NATO country (or even some allied countries iirc) you can access it freely as if it was declassified, you just can’t send it to China or Russia.

    Like you can just freely Google that manual or purchase a physical copy without any sort of checks.

      That isn’t what NATO Restricted means, at least not in the US—I’m not going to attempt to delve into Hungarian law. It falls under the category of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) established by Executive Order 13556, and codified in DoD Instruction 5200.48

      This information is not freely available to the public, and must be cleared for release according to the procedures detailed in the aforementioned documents, which specify that it should only be disseminated for official government purposes.

          Unclassified is still a classification level and doesn’t imply that it is meant for broader dissemination; CUI would need approval to be shared. People like you are why everyone has to suffer through annual training every year.

            This hit me hard and now I’m angry. But it explains why I have to speed run sexual harassment and security training every year even though it seems like a capybara would know better than to do the things being warned against.

      That’s literally what classified means, that it has a classification. That classification is NATO Restricted.

              …technically, it’s not not classified, it’s unclassified…

              …does unclassified require something to have first been classified?..semantically, certainly, but technically i have no idea…
