DebatePolitics

I just had an official from this site threaten to rape me. I was opposing the rape gangs in Britain that target children and he was intimidating me into silence.

A bunch of bitter old people. Nothing more to say. A bunch of better old people. A bunch of bitter old people A bunch of bitter old people

Mods will literally ban you out of the blue for no reason at all. When you sign in, you'll be told you were banned for "Rules violations" without explaining where, how, or which rules were violated.

The community has a strong propensity to accuse you of not making sense as well for no reason, simply repeating its arguments and positions over and over.

I was extremely polite and respectful on this site, but I presented conservative (right leaning) views. I was given warnings for non issues. When they cited the rules I had broken, the rules were completely unrelated to what had actually occured. I had an account 10 years ago that I couldn't remember the login information for and I hadn't posted on the account for ten years. One of their rules is that you're not allowed to have two accounts, so when they learned I had an account ten years ago, they automatically banned me. I submitted an appeal explaining I couldn't remember my previous login and they never replied. This is a highly biased cite that appears to want to create an echo chamber.

The moderators should be present to moderate activity. They don't. They punish people with differing political viewpoints and seek them out for unequal enforcement of the rules. If you even question them you will be suspended or banned. This is an extremely small site and not at all influential and that is the good news but I would suggest looking elsewhere if you want balanced access to political opinion.

Whether you're left or right-wing, you won't encounter any intellectually stimulating conversation here. "Debates" are really just personal slights which skirt the gray area of the rules which are highly situationally applied towards favored users. The mods are incredibly lazy and ultimately just don't care.

This site does have some posters that can get out of hand, but only a few and most are easily countered, punished, or simply enough put on ignore. There are some good debates on this site and some that spiral into crap. The Mods are pretty good, although some of my favorites have left. I've been on this site for over 12 years. There's passion in the debates and both good and bad posters on either side and plenty in the middle. There are also places to vent. Don't want to get banned, don't do something obviously stupid.

This is not a white nationalist, Republican, or conservative forum, nor is it a leftist, Democratic, or liberal forum. Issue sides are well-represented. Old members sometimes virtually chat, but serious debate can also occur.

I joined this site recently hoping it might be a place to have serious, in depth discussions about politics. Many years ago, prior to the explosion of social media, we had discussion forums on the Internet where such debates and discussions occurred.

Unfortunately this site does not capture that spirit at all. Most of the posts and threads are not interesting at all because 95% of every thread is just partisans making simplistic partisan attacks against one another. The discussions have the tone and tenor of random Facebook comment arguments, no one argues in good faith or discusses anything in an intelligent way. While it certainly reflects the norm for political discourse in the 2020s, that was not what I was looking for and I advise anyone looking for a place to have serious discussions stay far away.

Like most social media platforms this site will ban conservatives without cause or expanation. The vitriol towards Trump and his supporters is unending but to respond in kind will get you banned from the site without warning or explanation. I should have seen this coming since the site was full of hateful progressive and very few conservative voices. It is shameful that the left in this country has to be protected from any opposing opinions.

The rules for this site seem to have been written by little boys starting their first "No Gurls Aloud" club. They start off with some high minded comments about freedom of speech and quickly devolve into rule #4 "Don't be a Jerk". It's downhill after that with incomplete sentences, contradictory instructions, impossible demands and rule #6a designed to get people to post complaints in what they call the Basement where moderators very childishly bully, name call and suspend anyone that asks questions about the sites' very strange rules.
My favorite rule? #7. "English - All threads will be in the English language. Threads and posts which are not in English may be edited or deleted at the discretion of a Moderator. Please include translations with any posts that are not in English."
The rules page ends with something written in Hebrew and something written in Cyrillic, neither translated. Moderators don't observe the "Don't be a Jerk" rule either.

Don't be fooled, this is a very hateful website. Censorship and nasty gang up styled bullying is common practice. Expect to see open comparisons of various people to that of Adolph Hitler. The moderators are openly biased and even participate in the bullying and name calling. Calls for the use of open violence against supporters of a one political siding is wifely accepted. Certain people are treated differently than others and purges (removals) without cause is viewed as normal. Moderators and administrators turn a blind eye to trolling and often childishly threaten and badger members via private messages.

This site should be removed as being a HATE site. Furthermore, law enforcement (including the FBI) should monitor this site for violent extremist activity. I've literally read posts discussing using violence against others for no other reason then the "offender" peacefully supporting an opposing political ideology.

The only thing a member of this website gains is anger, hatred and division. Actual respectful political debate is literally NEVER seen on this website. Moderators have admitted that the behavior of posters on the site is deplorable and that they unfortunately lost control years ago.

Final Warning: Do NOT use this website if you are looking and hoping to "debate" actual politics.

Don't even bother wasting any time on this site, unless you are a Trump Supporter! The so-called Conservative Monitors will infraction-you-to-death! There are forum rules- but because of the obvious double standard, I'm totally convinced they only apply to liberal posters and others who do not support Donald Trump's policies and actions. It is the most unfair Political Debate Forum on the internet with some of the most unintelligent members on the planet!

This is the most one-sided forum around if you're anti-Trump. The mods will sanction you quickly, ban you for days and ignore your reports of Trump supporters insulting and berating you. All the mods except for 'Helix' are pro-Trump and don't like it when you trash him, They treat anyone against Trump with total disrespect and will concoct a reason to ban you. Freedom of speech does not exist on Debate Politics Forum. You have no way to dispute or reach management on this site. It's totally one-sided. Stay away, it's toxic. 'Note Bene' and 'RedAskin' are two mods who will watch your every move.

After being on the site for a few weeks, and seeing exactly what most of the other users get up to. I've come to the conclusion that the sites population is mostly made up of either trolls, or political whack jobs. Who either do nothing, but post continuous hate/conspiracies, or continually hate on one another.
The funny part, given what I've seen. Is that it's not the conservatives on the site that primarily act like this. There are some, yes, but they're few and far between. The ones that actually do this are those that claim to either be "liberal or even independent", with some that don't even care to parse out their classification.
They'll continually spew hate in your general direction, and when you even so much as talk back to them and challenge their stance. Then you're in trouble of having one of the admins sicked on you as if they were a dog. Watching a good number of threads has shown me that no matter what you see. These people are able to get away with plenty of things that no other poster could even dream of doing.

Just to be clear, there are good people minding their own business on the site, and if you look you should find them. It's just currently infested by the sort of people that would be normally be considered the scum of any typical political debate.

The site is full of loudmouths that incessantly repeat talking points from MSM. There is no debate. The mods are viscous and petty. Don't donate unless that's the way you roll.

So here is a site about politics that uses domainsbyproxy.com to hide who they are. Why?

My very first time visiting there I saw a post comparing 2020 US to 1933 Germany and I wanted to respond. So I registered, and posted a carefully argued and polite argument, with links to sources, that, in my view, we are more like 1916 Russia. When I tried to post, I got a message saying I was banned for spam and to contact admins if there were a mistake. So I contacted admin, and again was blocked for "spamming".

Several of the Mods have turned debatepolitics into a creepy, overly- and unevenly and unfairly moderated forum. They include Kal'Stang, Nota Bene, and Captain Courtesy, who act politely but certainly punish philosophies they don't like. They permit privileges in baiting, flaming, and trolling to pet posters while smashing the same actions of others they simply don't like. They deliberately misdefine "ad hom" and use it to give infractions and bannings.

Still, once the wise and sly poster realizes the game is rigged, that poster can use the system against the Mods and do pretty much whatever he or she wants. I have been under this name, and they are searching for the others.
