So, what would you prefer to do? Make people aware that we want to
apply censorship on any army-related talk?

I think that what we can really do is to advertise that Battlemesh doesn't 
like this kind of topic (by means of a public advertisement, maybe on 
the webpage), but then, if someone start speaking about it anyway, you 
can just ignore him.
