Today’s non-US mass shooting (or attacks with other means than firearms)

[Swiftyfive]

The comunity decided to make it US centric and the moderators agreed. I posted a story about a mass shooting outside the US, several users flagged it as off topic, then Duketrout removed my post and moved it elsewere. When I asked about it Orenwolf supported it with:

General Moderation Topic

That is a community-started topic, and your post was moved by the community, presumably because the original topic was likely intended to be US-centric. I tend to give more leniency to things like topicality and whatnot to topic creators for community posts, because they do not appear on the main page of Boing Boing proper.
