City-Data.com

Suppose to be a site to provide advice on different regions and various other topics. FAR FROM IT. Its basically a bunch adults behaving like pre-teens on a chat room. Florida and California Forums highlight this perfectly. Dont waste your time.

I would definitely not bother using City-Data. The minute any of the 30+ year regulars get upset with you, they ask the moderators to ban you, which they do! Go on there only to waste time, and to ask questions such as, "Is (name of city) a nice place?" Do not enter any of the other threads unless you plan to be completely boring and dull. You will end up eventually surprised by a lifetime ban because the older members got upset with you. The liberals (fond of whining) like to say that they get banned from everywhere, but the fact is that City-Data is a place where a small group have been online for a long time, and dominate the place. Go elsewhere.

I signed up last week, and made 4 posts (all in one thread, and all on topic, which was Trump speech on Labor Day) and in one of them I called Trump a 'whiner', and was immediately banned for life. Reason = Trolling. Reading some other posters with thousands of posts, they are getting way with all kinds nastiness, but I guess that's ok because its in line with the overall bias of the board. Looks like its a place for Trump fans to go and vent out their anger.

I am extremely confused by some reviewers saying that City Data is right-wing biased. I have never seen that, and my experiences have been the exact opposite. I have been banned, permanently I might add, because I posted facts about what legalizing recreational marijuana, and what illegal immigration, has done to my home state Colorado. Because these facts destroyed the pro-stoner and pro-illegal utopian types I was banned. Meanwhile there were leftist members breaking pretty much every rule on that site, including harassment and even death threats, and not a damn thing was being done about them. Every time I was banned it was by a leftist moderator. I have been banned 3 times now, i mistakenly decided to go with the 3 strikes motto, and every time I was accused of trolling just for stating actual facts and a different opinion. If you say anything, and I mean anything that goes against the far lefts views or opinions you will be accused of trolling and then permanently banned.

I have read some views down below. They can trace http address so when you get banned and make up a new user just use a different internet browser it took a day or 2 to find my http addy.

I posted a thread with facts and then all of s sudden they banned me for trolling. I only had 1 post and responded to other people's threads. Ih and i was attacked for grammar.

All i did was post a thread where they have Muslim training camps in America. Plenty of evidence on google and YouTube and i was banned.

City-data is a great forum with lots of useful info, once you enter Politics side it all goes down hill. It is dominated by far right extremists who post hateful garbage and conspiracy theories day in and day out and if you challenge any of it the hateful biased mod IBginnie will give you a infraction call you a troll and say you're hijacking a thread and ban you.

I see the usual members on there doing what this biased idiot mod accuses others of doing every day and she never bans them or gives any citations because they hijack threads daily and attack other users that aren't Trump supporters.

There is no one to reach to report this mod for her out of control biased behavior most mods have told me the Admin doesn't care anymore and gives her free reign to do what she wants. A few mods have told me she is hated and they can't stand her and only put up with her because they like the community and agree she is on a power strip and needs to be removed.

Its not just me saying this look at all the other complaints on here regarding her/him. City-data is fun and informative just stay out of politics or she will harass and follow your every move if your not MAGA. She is the definition of a Troll.

City data forum is basically just a bunch of middle aged White rural conservatives who hate big cities and everything they represent, diversity, liberal policies, nightlife, dense neighborhoods, etc. Doesn't matter what city forum you go to, whether it's San Francisco, NYC, Chicago, the members post the same garbage, that city living sucks and paradise is in rural red states. Ok, then why the hell are they posting day in and day out on city forums they hate?

The vast majority of discussions are about race and ethnicity. People basically ask if a certain neighborhood has a certain number of minorities living in it before they take the plunge. Any area that has less than 80% WASP is deemed ghetto and trash. Majority of the threads and discussions devolve into trashing Blacks, Hispanics, immigrants, and occasionally Asians, Jews and Hipsters. Skip it, it's like going on a White Supremacist website

All i did was say that trans rights in my country were under attack and i made a joke about beer that wasnt even right or left leaning and i got banned for being a "troll" permanently. No option to contact mods that doesnt show the same "you have been banned for the following reason" message. I tried emailing the site about my ban and got no response. I have no clue why this is the case, considering its a pretty conservative place and they claim to care a lot about "free speech". According to a lot of reviews here its full of racists as well so maybe my ban was for the best

This message board is weirdly moderated. They have banned me multiple times over the years and I am unsure why because the ban just says I am a troll banned forever, but what exactly did I do wrong? It is a very strangely managed message board that I wanted to participate on but they just ban me and say I am a troll. Why though? Odd forum. I signed up a few times over a few different years from different computers and I read their rules as well. Others here say they only ban Liberals but that is untrue in my case. Therefore I will just stay away from City Data where I must be unwanted forever by a moderator hiding there calling me a troll...

There was a thread recently in the Politics forum concerning Kristi Noem killing her German Wirehaired Pointer. The matter was all over the news cycle, with wide admonishment from the left and right. The thread was 9 pages and totally centered on this very public political issue. The thread was deleted. Not locked- deleted. You cannot post anything that sheds and negative light on far right 'darlings'. It's not a place for true political conversation. That sub-forum is moderated by Ibginnie and she hands out infractions to anyone that sheds the MAGA cult any negative light. Stay away from the place unless you are a true MAGA faithful. There is no room for Independents there.

For years I thought City-Data was a good reference website to find out information about different cities. But then I discovered the information is unreliable. For example, a city whose actual population is more than 600,000, with a metro area of between one and two million, is shown in City-Data as having a population of less than 300,000. And a lot of City-Data's information is too many years out of date.

Don't post in their forums. Parts of the information you post will often get deleted without notice, leaving other parts out of context, making you seem stupid and silly, and you might never even notice it.

I would like to know the best website for information about cities. I hope it's infinitely better than City-Data.

Left leaning posters have their post deleted if the post gets too many reps especially if its a sick burn on a right wing poster. The Politics forum seems like its purpose is to foment hate between Americans.

City data forum is for extremist conspiracy theorists Trumpers. The members are so out there that it almost seems like a satire site like the Onion. Sadly it's not. Bunch of backwards ignorant bigots. Don't waste your time, anyone who isn't a wacko Trumper will get banned.
