notice to our abuse address, please state clearly that it is a copyright

acts of terrorism. This category is only for material which promotes
terrorism. Material which shows terrorism (torture, murder) should be reported
under the _gore_ category.
* **Gore** - Graphic and shocking videos or images depicting severe harm to
humans (or animals). I will clarify that I am not strictly against shocking

unsuspecting viewers. For that reason I will remove it when it gets reported.

systems.

This includes publicly sharing private photos, videos or documents. Shaming
