Official Subreddit FAQ and Information Guide (redraft)

Foreword by u/CIA_Shill

The original Subreddit FAQ and information Guide was written by contributor and former mod u/LiesAboutKnowingYou/ and all credit goes to him for this. I have tried to recreate this post linking to the original source material where possible however some material is no longer available as indicated by the strikethrough.

If you would like to contribute, comment, re-create, re-link, critique or add content please comment below and I will do my best to accommodate requests.

Official Subreddit FAQ and Information Guide

Per our request for what you'd want in a Frequently Asked Questions guide, this thread will be an evolving attempt to address both frequently asked questions and threads that bring a level of detail or depth to a specific topic that relates the Syrian Civil War, the Iraqi conflict, and topics pertaining to or related to both. If you feel there is something lacking from the FAQ, please bring it to our attention, but don't just highlight that it's missing, suggest a plan of action to remedy that (i.e. suggesting a member who might be capable of filling that knowledge gap). At present this FAQ will be loosely organized with topics of interest/knowledge that have already been presented to the subreddit, but we hope to expand it to include a general overview of the Syrian Civil War, a terminology guide, and ever greater depth into the religious and cultural aspects of the conflict. That said, it's the hope of the mod team that this FAQ helps both new users and old users alike in answering questions you may have about the conflict. Here ya go:
