I cannot believe how much bad stuff is on the Topix website. The website does not require user registration which should immediately tell users to stay away. It also contains next to no moderation. Your only option is to go on there and report abuse meaning you are forced to go on their website and that makes them money. In the last few years, Topix traffic has declined quickly, so there are few users left. The ones that did say are primarily "internet trolls" that get a kick out of posting people's names and trashing the person or persons. The community forums are a joke when it comes to "news" as there is very little of it there. It is a site that appeals to cowards who get a kick out of hurting others and any person with morals should have no use for that.
I have never encountered a worst site on the internet and it is so easily accessible which should concern people greatly. The forums contain graphic language, things promoting prostitution, the selling of illegal weapons and drugs, and assaults on people's character. I cannot get over how bad many of the forums are and apparently more and more media are reporting on this dangerous site. There should be some kind of restrictions placed because what they allow on there isn't exactly first amendment stuff some of it is illegal as all get out.
Imo Topix, like many other forums, protect certain products.
Topix ghosted some of my posts.
Also. A lot of mis information posted at Topix

I started here a few months ago and absolutely love it! I always feel welcome by both the staff and the kickboxers... even though, I couldn't do a push up to save my life at first. Everyone is so supportive as you go through your fitness journey. Can't say I'd think I'd be happier anywhere else!
Except maybe in bed in the morning instead of burpee-ing my $#*! off at 7 or 7:45 am!
I'm Lord Greg, I want to say a big thanks to Dr Oko the great healer who cured my Herpes virus last week after I have suffered a lot of pains. I'm happy that I'm alive today to share this testimony to the world of how Dr Oko cured me. Please contact Dr Oko through his e-mail address: solutionhome@ outlook. Com, he can also cure HIV, CANCER, ALS, STROKE, LOW SPERM COUNT, INFERTILITY IN BOTH MEN AND WOMEN, contact him now and get your problem solve.
You can post warnings about a certain place. You can post the rules and regulations of any place of business or fun, post what is permitted or prohibited at certain places, post legal advice, even post warnings to guys to avoid women in certain regions, and you won't get banned from Topix. And more often than not, your posts won't get deleted.
May my good God continue to bless you Dr Abor, for saving my life from herpes simplex virus. I was totally confuse of my life and also in pain, I have been going through this for 2years now and I have been going to hospital to hospital without cure until a friend of mine told me about the great Dr Abor, and I contacted him immediately, he promise me not to worry that am going to get cure with the use of his Herbal Medication, at first I thought it was a joke, until he really prepare me a herbal medication and sent it to me in my country, which I have been using until am totally cured from herpes virus, may God countinue to bless you for your good work, if anyone is affected of HERPES, HIV, OR HEPATITIS, you can also contact *******@GMAIL.COM
Straight no bull$#*! tell it like it is NO political correctness. Got to love it! You can hear the real voices of people on this site, good, bad, or whatever. No moderation per se!
I like the idea of what this website is trying to do but I hate that everything is rerouted to other sites.
If you need info and news this site is the way to go
I searched some of cultural lifestyle threads, and all the comments are everything about hating that country and insult people in that country... I read all the stories, they all had many personal stories that seem legit, but had to check the credibilities since all the IDs are seems unregistered, I did not know if they made up stories or one person made clone ids and made a lot of stories... However, I will avoid this site from now all.
Really interesting opinions on really interesting topics. Pretty intellectual approaches to issues like gay marriage, offshore drilling, and health care reform. Visually valuable with a count of which users oppose and support the issue, along with an associating map.
A site that appears to have no interest in moderating it's forums and the content posted on them. A magnet for every bigot worldwide to post their educationally subnormal, semi literate perspectives inciting racial, religious and gender based hatred. Companies choosing to advertising on Topix should declare their position with regard to the site and it's forums or make more responsible advertising choices. I rate it a zero.
Stay away. There is a forum about the murders of Liberty German and Abigail Williams but all they do is call people sock puppets and Sarah. Absolutely no respect for the murdered kids. There is a poster who will not allow any constructive discussion on the case. Very strange. Be careful you will be attacked and that person will try to get you angry so that they can get you banned. You may be communicating with the killer.
I think the information that came out about Wikileaks is a perfect example of why there has to be some internet reform. When people's lives are in danger then the first amendment does not apply. Topix has proven to be a danger to people with death threats, sexual predators, attacks on children and that makes it dangerous. There is a difference between freedom of speech and what Topix is.
Topix recently changed its terms of service to make them even more vague. Basically the company has admitted they plan to do nothing about the vast bullying and criminal behavior of that site. Topix gets worse by the day.
This company continues to allow lives to be destroyed. There is so much racism, hate, attacks on children, sexism it is ridiculous. That is what happens when you don't have any real rules. Wonder how many lives have been destroyed in 2010 (as the new year approaches) and how many more will be in 2011. There is no defending this site.
Everyone who has reviewed so far has pretty much said it all. Topix.com seems to promote shameless cyberbullying, racism, sexual harassment, and ignorance. The forum comments are rarely, if ever, moderated. Please consider an alternative.
I have never seen a more disgraceful and distasteful site. There is so much cyberbullying and you can forget about any real moderation and they don't even make users register for an account before posting. In my area Topix is really bad and upon checking some other areas, theirs is even worse. With all the suicides going on someone has to get control of this stuff and I heard Topix is now adding a political site where there is no doubt going to be bashing of politicians families which should not be fair game. I have also read disturbing comments from Topix management justifying the harm of others. Avoid Topix at all cost.
Full of obscene, unsavory comments posted by racists, those seeking pornography, are lacking any education and seem to all come from areas in rural W. Virginia and Mississippi. No point to it other serving as a forum for uneducated haters/those looking for pornography.
