Is the rule against posting manifestos in service of a site-wide? I think it's important to be able to read and discuss them and can be done without "glorifying" the acts.

I feel like it isn't. Agreeing with it might be a violation of the site-wide on violence (ie: "those people deserved this"). But, at the same time, posting the manifesto may be criminal in some places, so I'm not sure. Probably ask magnora7.

This is, incidentally, why the rules need to be fluid for now. And why I'll probably loosen them more as I understand the rules better.

Historical events and documents are perfectly allowed as long as the people posting them aren't glorifying the violence, like you said.

On saidit, if you're in doubt about removing something, err towards just leaving it alone. Which I think you've been doing so far pretty well.
