The mods need to decide this and there shouldn't be a "challenge" system. This isn't a court of appeals or a democratic parliament.
It needs to be a hard-set rule. Just one list of all the banned sources. Maybe a discussion thread in the suggestions forum for people who want to argue to place a source on/off it, but the mods need to have unity of command. It can't be a free for all, otherwise it will be a mess.

So, its a militarily court or we are in martial law, that's what you are basically saying ..... in that way any pseudo intellectual will discard any member post by labeling unreliable source.
I asked below the legitimate question and awaiting for logical answer (not police stick answer)....
... that's already how it works. Have you not noticed this?
When your friend got banned a few weeks back, was there an appeals process you went to? Was there a vote?

Oh No.... come on .... not again & again..... if you have nothing to justify against my question then stay away from the discussion (Oh well sorry I forget that you are very good in jumping on the gun) ...
By the way Which friend?
This is my last reply to you .... you may continue your rant.....

Anyways....
If you subtract the legacy MBTs and the Ukranian T-80s (which are unreliable now because of Ukraine's issues), the only thing that's left are the 350 Al Khalids. This is a bad situation. But this was expected, because the Army willingly took a back seat for a while, to give priority to the PAF and PN in recent years, which is a good thing. It was a worthy sacrifice. Now that both the PAF/PN have stabilized, looks like the Army acquisitions are starting to gather steam again.
I think the Pakistani Army has a requirement of 1500 gen 3 tanks, and 500 gen 3+/4 tanks. It needs to retire all its legacy MBTs (including Al Zarrars.) Our MBT roster is way too clustered right now, and it surely puts a strain on logistics, especially the T-80s. It was just a bad idea to source anything from Ukraine in the first place. Instead of trying to maintain our T-80 fleet, we should mothball them, or sell them off, if anyone will buy them second hand. But it doesn't make much sense to maintain that unreliable logistical supply line only for 300 T-80s, especially since Pakistan is warming up to Russia.
I think a good split would be the following:
1000 - Al Khalid I
500 - VT-4
500 - Altay^ or Type 99A*
And if the Altay or Type 99A are unavailable (*export restrictions) or too expensive (^which they probably will be), than just create another upgrade of the Al Khalid I, add more armor and an APS and get 500 of those (or maybe 500 VT-4s, depending on their available addons). Either way, we should have a minimum of 2000 proper MBTs.

Waooo .... calling someone Idiot or Liar whose profile is with full of appreciations (check my profile) from the members is actually shows the level (mentality health) of a person itself so I have nothing to say anymore (silence is the best reply to a fool) .....
