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.
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.

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 have been on Debate Politics for nearly 10 years. I have posted about 10,000 times. I am also an outspoken critic of Donald Trump. I have not had any of the experiences that others have talked about. I have debated moderators without an issue. In my tenure, I have never received an infraction point (though I know that is rare), though I have been warned a few times. The warnings, however, were polite and appropriate (I deserved to be warned).
I have not been on that many debate sites, but I find this one to be pretty good. I usually can find good posters to debate with, though since Trump's election the character has changed a bit... the best conservative posters have become never Trumpers., while the Trumpers are zealots and not always interested in reason. It is often difficult to have a serious conversation with them. The pre-Trump era debates were much richer.
I actually think it is a well moderated site. Most of the people that have been run from the site, should have been run from the site. There are probably two or three that need to go, but I bet they are gone by year's end replaced by three more classless idiots... but, that is debate on the Internet.
The Basement is its own sub-culture and bit clicky, as represented. But, if you come to the site, bring your best debating game, are reasonably well informed and can disagree without being disagreeable, you would be a welcomed addition.
Non-biased and non-partisan political forums. Debate topics may include breaking news today, media bias, abortion, warfare, conspiracy theories, economics, climate change and health care discussion.
