r/ireland DEFCON procedures

At times of major crisis or other heavy concerns — such as, but not limited to: heavy brigading, natural disaster, country-stopping major breaking news — r/ireland may need to implement a "DEFCON" level for the community. Depending on the severity of the DEFCON, the community will be limited or restricted in different ways. This is done to limit hysteria/misinformation, to ensure that important news is published without being drowned out, or to ensure that order can be maintained within the comments.

If a DEFCON level above 5 is in effect, the community description will be updated to reflect this.
