Lleftist Echo Chamber
September 4, 2020

That is all that needs to be said. PH is a Leftist echo chamber. Moderation is based on the poster's political perspective much of the time and Leftist is the preferred perspective.

24/7 food fight
October 12, 2020

Member since 2006. It doesn't matter what your political leanings are, because this forum's staff has double standards and extremely bad attitudes. Rules aren't posted clearly and in some cases aren't even written down, and staff doesn't have to follow them if they don't want to. Consequently, members frequently attack each other in vicious ways. Staff gets to do this as much as they want with no consequences. No insult is off limits, and no personal attack is too vile. Admins are called "council hall" and they've held their positions for years and can't be arsed to do their jobs anymore. The "grievance process" is just a modified contact form that forwards to the council halls' personal emails, and no record is ever kept of the outcome. The owner of the forum only comes around about twice a year, and cares for nothing but advertising revenue. Speaking of ads, you'd better have some good antimalware, because there are a couple dozen ads on every page from some seriously sketchy sources. Sometimes you pick up a browser hijacker from them. This forum used to be one of the best around, but over the years as people stopped caring about how it's run, it's turned into just another kennel of barking dogs. If you like 4chan, you'll *love* PH. Participate at your own risk.

Full of leftist trolls
December 27, 2021

Troll after troll after troll. Nothing substantial in the way of political debate. Moderators overwhelmingly on the left. Any conservative will be trolled to death.

Very immature
June 27, 2020

It would appear Political Hotwire is awash with many immature left wing members. Having stumbled across this forum from an internet search, my only advice to anyone is to avoid the place.

Isn't it ironic
August 9, 2020

Isn't it ironic that those who complain about the moderation at this site being biased are themselves biased?
There's some transparency for ya!

Fringe left wing site that's entertaining for about 10 minutes. Echo chambers are boring. Biased moderation, extreme trolling.
