Ibginnie is by far the worst moderator. Anyone here stating that she is a right-winger is full of it. She meads out her personal justice on a whim. If she doesn't like your post/thread she will make up a reason to can it.

There is nothing Liberal about City Data don't believe that lie above. That is a right wing white nationalist run site. LOL@ Liberal.


I'll give CD this much - you can find reasonably good information there concerning states and (as the name implies) major US cities. Unfortunately, many CD forums are run by mods who want to be kings or queens of their own little kingdoms to the point that they turn into the very bullies and trolls that they are supposed to be moderating their forums against. There are a few forums there that are actually not bad - the retirement forum, the automobile forum, and a couple of the state forums like the Colorado forum (stay away from the New Mexico forum!). The POC forum drags the entire place down thanks to Ibginnie's erratic and heavily partisan moderation style. I have had my posts deleted because I used ONE foreign word in my post (TOS say you must use English only), or because I used the word "troll" just in passing. Ibginnie couldn't care less if alt-right posters call people libertards or baby killers or commies, etc., etc. Recently, she allowed a thread about Hunter Biden supposedly being a porn addict who preyed on his own cousins, and the thread went downhill from there. And of course, QAnon conspiracy theories have the run of the board. One of the other mods who I am friendly with told me that he hates the way Ibginnie operates and he can't understand why she is allowed to remain. I am seriously thinking of sending a link to sitejabber to the owner of the board, so that he can see for himself how destructive certain mods are to City Data's reputation (such as it is). So, yeah. There's some wheat with the chaff, but the chaff can be overwhelming. Caveat emptor!

Ugh. City-Data used to be great, but I think those Mods you mentioned have run off everyone else. There used to be a lot more mods, but I have noticed that it's the same awful mods moderating more and more of the site. Poncho is modding my city's forum, for example, which is for an Ohio city. What does a guy in NM know about Ohio?

It's not an assumption. It's the stark reality of the POC forum at that site.

They've been around for a long time, perhaps at some point it was a reputable site.   That is no longer the case.   I suspect traffic to the site is dwindling.
