The question is stated as delivery of a "S-300 or S-400 missile system." A "system" requires all the major operational components to be delivered (search radar, targeting radar, missile launcher, command post, etc.). Regarding hiding the system, while I agree that generally you don't want to give away the exact location of your military assets, it is important to credibly signal your enemies if you expect to deter them. Most of the Iranian comments to this point are probably inward directed, to create a sense of strength in the aftermath of the nuclear deal with the West. Outward directed statements (to Israel) will come when the system is actually functioning.
@000, yes, and I've asked for the same thing, since I have invested both time and treasure into the effort of pulling all the data, as I can see you have, too. The site isn't good enough to even help me to find out what I've done, let alone what anyone else has done. With the site being open to anyone, and no teams/groups established, and anyone able to generate tens or hundreds of accounts for whatever purpose they choose, so I feel like I don't have any choice.
I get that they have try to judge these questions. It would, I think, make more sense to leave these questions open until the end of the period (unless the resolution is clear, which it never was, in this case), and then, if the answer is unclear (within a good margin), to leave it unjudged until it is clear. If the season ends and the answer is still unclear, then the question can be voided.
Has anyone else ever been on a comment thread and noticed that it was as if they were a different user?
For the record, right now, I'm seeing the page as if I were @redacted (but I'm @einsteinjs). I'm typing this comment and I'm not sure who it will show up as when hit submit.
EDIT: Ah, ok. So, it showed up as "einsteinjs," but it if I scroll up the page, it shows me the "edit" function for @redacted's comments. Of course, I won't change them, but I guess that's part of the reason we're still in beta.
EDIT #2: But when I refresh the page AFTER I've made a comment, I'm not able to edit @redacted's comments (thankfully). This isn't the first time I've seen this before, either. Anyone else come across this?
No einsteinjs, but I alerted the admins some time ago to something they probably didn't intend (ability to change different parts of another user's account).
Ahem. At the risk of sounding paranoid, I do hope the bug selects other participants as well. As far as I can tell, my comments have not been abused or vandalized. An honorable and virtuous crowd. Although I must say, it is great comfort to now always have the future ability to repudiate and deny my own comments.
Reaffirming my forecast.

There. I'm out of the closet. I'm a GJP scraper.

Ah, I see you have reached Level 2 of the game.

@redacted
@einsteinjs I've reported that bug, too.

@cmeinel, Congratulations, you have reached Level 2 of the game.
@000 -- except it's not replicable, so it doesn't *feel* like I've reached another level. Hmmm, is that another 'level' TO the level?
