PoliticalForum

Their left leaning trolls will cry to the mods constantly if they don't like what you post (Kind of like in real life which is why they're called snowflakes!) I received an infraction for calling leftists 'fools' once. Didn't even direct it towards anyone. But you will notice that if you are right leaning, only left leaning mods will give you infractions or ban you. Stay away from this forum! It is pure Aids! You will waste too much of your time pointlessly arguing with trolls with easily hurt feelings & racist members that blame everything on white people. After being there few years, it's only been the same people that post there every day anyway. And it only gets worse when election season comes around! Block the site & don't waste any of your sacred time! You will only get aggravated & discriminated against!

While I agree that a modicum of civility is required, PF goes over board. When pointing out the logical fallacy of my opponents argument a moderator gave me a warning for insulting them. When I engaged with the moderator and gave them a link to the fallacy that was utilized, the moderator got upset. From there, the moderator would follow all of my posts in a stalking manner and either use their position to either bully me on the boards or hand out arbitrary warnings and possible band. The administration would do nothing about it.

Many people are leaving PF because of this type of behaviour, and this it is evolving to an echo chamber not worth the time.

Saying "Republicans are idiots" is calling all republicans idiots. Saying all Republicans idiots like it or not, is 'free political speech', moderation has gone over the top.

From their posting rules: The rules regarding personal attacks extend not only to individual posters, but to groups as well. For example, calling all Republicans idiots is the same as calling every Republican on the board an idiot, and will not be tolerated.

Additionally pointless heckling trolls are allowed to troll with impunity to destroy the continuity of some threads yet not others, regardless of constantly reporting them to moderation, while I've witnessed legitimate debates being completely removed for reasons that border an infinite stretch of the imagination.

They have a dispute section that is there to give the impression your rebuttals are being handled fairly, regardless solid counterarguments get summarily ignored when their censorship tactics are proven to be in error.

This site appears to be operated by Russians or other anti-American individuals. Almost all of the threads for international events are started by pro-Russian elements. They also happen to support Trump. Factual posts are deleted but insanity and pure idiocy is allowed to run amok. There is a clear and consistent pattern of support for those to seek to overthrow US democracy. They are anti science and anti logic. They only support pure insanity and conspiracies

There are serious problems with misinformation and conspiracy theories on PF. I would reasonably safe half of the threads are conspiracy theories at best, and down right propaganda at worse. This is of course, in violation of their own rules. The mods are capricious and don't seem to care. The worse comes from their "rules on slurs against groups of people". I have been the subject of multiple attacks because of who I am, and the mods do nothing about it. It's a joke, and if you go there you are putting yourself at risk of drowning in a cesspool of disease and vermin.

If you even question the mods you will receive an infraction which they carefully add up.
If your views are conservative and the liberals complain you will receive an infraction.
If you suggest that the police need to increase resistance against the rioters, you will receive an infraction for incitement to violence.
There is no free speech here.
It's like trying to have a serious dialogue in North Korea.
If the mods knew where you lived and had the power, I'm sure they'd be at your door to send you to a re-education camp.
And I'm barely exaggerating.

Politicalforum.com is a board that strongly supports the extreme right. It is supposed to be a debate board but is simply an orators board for the right. They don't even allow people to challenge the bias of the posters. It is a total waste of time to go there. If you want to get your right views supported, no matter if they are lies and can be proven as lies, become a member. They do expect you to contribute to the board, meaning it is also a board that supports those with money. It is not a board where knowledge, facts, statistics and truth have any meaning.

I gave it a 1 rating but the reality is that my rating of the board is a zero

A great example of what is destroying the country: They are a loudspeaker for the insane and irrational, The rules are arbitrary. Most of the members are either mentally ill or incredibly stupid, or children. The place is chocked full of crackpots and conspiracy theories. There are some intelligent and reasonable people but most leave soon. I burned up a lot of time assuming good faith on their part, But eventually it became clear that there are no rules. The moderation is impulse based and random,

As I said: this forum allows Holocaust Denial, allows Russian propaganda, allows Black and White racism, but not allows irony. My posts were deleted when I applied polite irony to some ridiculous claims.

I have posted at politicalforum.com for over a decade. I have been given a permanent ban after multiple strange events with the moderation team this year (2022). They have given me infractions where at first they claimed what I wrote was a "personal attack", but when asked to identify who was attacked and they cannot, they changed the infraction to "flame baiting". I would be fine if I was that type of member, but I have never been. I am all about content rich on topic posting, unlike much of their membership that want to make it about other members they disagree with. I've recently connected with other Conservative ex-members on another site that had similar bad experiences. I would not recommend the site to anyone looking for a fact filled, content rich debate on a topic. It's trash. The staff is sub par and frankly not intelligent... that's being nice.

They went as far as making my Profile Page locked. They have deleted my Profile Picture / Avatar. They have deleted my signature line. None of those elements had anything against the rules. I was an effective Conservative and I don't think that will be tolerated on the site going forward. It will become a wasteland, unless they make real changes with the staff.

I was on the forum for many years and was a very rare member being I'm not white. It used to be a very good political forum, even one of the best. But it changed to becoming as extreme white supremacist website and extremely pro-violence and advocacy of violence.

I was the last non-white member allowed on the forum and maybe only allowed for how long I had been there or because my not being white had not been mentioned for some time. Originally it was not a white supremacist forum. Now 100% of the staff is white, the owner is white and everyone on the forum is white. All non-whites have been purged from what I saw.

I was summarily banned after reporting a message that openly called for mass murder shooting of people who attend political protests. In response to reporting a message openly calling for mass murder, I was instantly banned with the only reason given was "rules violations." It did not specify whether I was banned for not being white or for opposing mass murder. Probably both.

The forum no longer follows the TOS whatsoever. No appeals of infractions or banning is allowed. The forum rules prohibiting advocating violence are completely ignored, as are most other rules. Basically, the forum should be called "White Male Terrorists R Us."

Stay away from Political Forum. Being on it could put you on a domestic terrorist watch list and on the no-fly list. You could find the FBI knocking on your door. Don't think you an hide behind an ID. On the surface it may seem just another political forum, but it's not. It is now a gathering place for white racists and trolls to gather, dangerously so.

They hate Muslims and they're so Islamophobic, we should investigate its members for suggesting Palestine is not a state or that LGBT Rights are more important than Human Rights and because Israel are LGBT Friendly means they have a right to murder Palestinians.

Apparently this site isn't for everybody, only privileged ones who are given information on how to get into "the club". WHERE you get this information is beyond me.

I tried to sign up and kept getting a message that a confirmation email was sent... one that I NEVER received. I used THREE DIFFERENT EMAIL ADDRESSES, and I never, NEVER received ONE confirmation email!

There is NO WAY to contact the admins, there is no help section or instructions for confirmation emails not working. There is NOBODY and NO WAY to contact anyone for help.

So, it's obvious you have to be "one of them" to get in. And after reading some of their bigoted, biased, toddler tantrums, it's a good thing I never got confirmed onto that juvenile site.

They aren't there for discussion, they are there for throwing toddler tantrums because they haven't gotten their way in politics.

DONT BOTHER!

Half of the Posters are Conspiracist or mentally ill. Many rejects from other boards. Threads in "Latest News"/News sections are very often Conspiracy links, followed 10 pages of responses, mostly from their fellow crazies. Probably only one in every 50 Conspiracy threads that are started, are moved to he Conspiracy section.
But even in Legit threads one has to wade through crap neck deep in insanity.
One Must assume the Hate/Loony Speech is APPROVED by the Owner, who may very well be one of them.

They claim no personal attacks are allowed, but I was Trolled and Personally Attacted after every post. Eventually the Moderators tracked a presued me everyday to add up points to keep me from replying to the attacks, after the Mods would do nothing. If you want an example of whats allowed at this Forum; simply go to the Threads created on January 11th 2018, when the Trump called countries A-Holes. Look at the ALL Members who were allowed to post anything they wanted with ZERO Moderation.
