It's a right wing loserterian $#*! hole! These bastards don't know the difference between a mixed modern economy and communism for crying out loud and good freaking luck with educating them otherwise. These idiots want to abolish the entire $#*!ing government and send us all back to the stone age! So if you post here do understand that facts or reality its self is "fake" as Trump would put it and the mods are mostly riding along side these anarchist pieces of subhuman garbage.

Man what a $#*!ed up place. Please for the love of all that is holy don't post at this board.

I've been a member of USMB for 8 years. I'm not a charter member, but I do see things. I think there are some guidelines for message boards and forums on the internet, and moderators do not have a choice but to stop some issues such as racism and stalking, so it is not much of a board that welcomes either. There are laws about the internet use against threatening other posters, which is the #1 reason for people being banned. I saw a banned notice on one member and sourced out his last 10 posts. Holy cow, the poster threatened the life of another poster 4 times before he was even caught breaking that rule--no life-threatening of other posters. I find it a well-run board. And it's a good place to learn the do's and don't's of political discussion if one doesn't know them. Oh, and I'm sorry to see people get banned, and am happy to see them come back if they can let stuff go.

I have been a member for a while and have had to take sabbaticals from USMB a couple of times. But the place is moderated fairly well and there is far more diversity of views on it than any place else I have seen. It is interesting and actually a place you can learn to respect new perspectives on old issues.

Most of these reviews are either 1 star or 5 star, so you are not seeing a solid range of reflective thought in this review. But your mileage may vary.

USMB is a great site, one of the very best on the Board. However, westwall, egged on by flacaltenn, have mental issues when being corrected on certain of their posts, and apparently they have slid around the other mods. They will be reined in, again. The issue is ongoing, and until and if the Board Members hammer down on them, their sniping will continue.

I join US Messageboard in good faith. I have joined approx 15 mins ago. I am Russian and to join give them my email address to the Registration, this of course Russian email address. I not able to make ONE post even I was about to go and post Introduction to myself and find I have been banned because of being Russian they think I am the Spam and I am not the Spam. The message tell me to contact Admin of US Messageboard if my banning is mistake and so there is no email for this Admin to contact to say yes a mistake and please for them to allow me to continue at that forum as a poster who join in good faith.

What type of forum bans a person before they even make ONE post and bans them as Spam when they are not Spam?

If the Admin of US Messageboard can does read the reviewings here then I join that forum as Rasputins Revenge and do so I can post to people of other nationality to have exchanges on different subjects and not as Spam.

I've been a member of many political forums so I can actually review it in comparison to others. I've seen other sites ban people (myself included) for defending themselves against attacks. At USMB, if you're attacked, fight back. It's for adults, you're expected to be an adult. The site allows you to say what you want. My only issue is that there are members who just post in the "current events" section anything they want, even something that's just an opinion without substance (think "Donald Trump is racist!) without anything of substance to back it up, and dumps it in the current events section because it's the most active section. It makes for a forum that's cluttered with a lot of junk threads, but its still good. I've been banned from numerous forums for speaking my mind, I've been on USMB for years and never even been warned. It's not perfect, but it's for adults and it's good. For the liberals complaining they get banned, I've never personally seen a liberal even get banned even when they personally attack conservatives with every post. So you must have REALLY done something wrong to get banned there. Join up and start posting, it's an active forum with good members. A few bad apples and a few idiots, but every forum has those. I've never had a run in with moderators and I've gone on the attack sometimes when people have made jabs at me.

Now tell me. Would you invest time with ANY of them attempts to discuss topics in any of our 40+ forums? LOL... Forget the Reviews. Come visit us and see why US Message is different from other Message Boards.

WE CARE about topical discussion. Unlike all the "former members" who find this page on the Web to vent..

Storm Front Nation
November 12, 2017

This site is inhabited by white supremacists, neo Nazis and racists of all kind. There's a smattering of liberals thrown in but they're subjected to slowdown technology to shut you up. It's taken over 10 minutes sometimes for me to post.
If you're not singing the praises of this president you're in for a lot of trouble.
Their sources they use to push their propaganda are more than bizarre. They're true cultists.
If there was decent moderation for this site it would be good for no other reason than to laugh at them and correct their lies.
But then you'd have to put up with mods harassment.
It's not worth it. Read a book instead.

I was one of the charter members when this board was founded. I was a friend of the boards creator and it was truly a fun place to chat. Now it is owned and administered by a bunch of blatant, unapologetic, flaming liberals that don't care one bit about their raging obvious liberal bias. If you're a conservative, you will be targeted and banned without notice or reason while the leftists there get a complete pass. The place is now a progressive dump.

I was a member for over six years. I was recently permanently banned for reasons unknown to me, because once you're banned, there is no way to see the determining "offense".

Moderators heavily favor right-wing trolls. Willhaftawait, a so-called moderator, stalked me and violated me for posts that right-wing Trump-suckers post day in and day out with no repercussions. The bias against liberals is so blatant it's not even funny. Threads critical of Trump are moved to conspiracy forums or "The Rubber Room". Right-wingers threaten violence against liberals, violate board "rules", and constantly troll with little to no punishment.

Oh yeah, there are a lot of closeted gay conservatives there. They are obsessed with gay sex.

It's a shame, because it used to be a good board. I guess I should have kissed $#*! with some monetary donations.

Right-wing fraud
February 21, 2018

Bad site. I was banned for answering a bullying question by some right-winger who is crazy over guns and what she calls "abortion on demand." Now I'm banned until March 3 for warning another poster that this same woman is abusive. I don't post with profanity, I don't call anyone names, and I don't make sexual remarks. Apparently, this is a site for right-wing hystericals who can't stand any opposition to their "wise thoughts."

I like the format, easy to c&p on. Good graphics. But the board bites the big one. Reminds me of the early AOL boards. Intelligence free zone with a huge contingent of the bat$#*! crazy, vile and frankly, ABUSIVE. The perfect message board in the TRUMP era.

I've been parked here for a couple of weeks, I thought I'd just hit a 'cantankerous' period. I think it is a permanent state of being.

(Plus, I think there might be Russian trolls among us)

This place is a dump
October 6, 2014

This place is a dump. The admin bans people at the drop of a hat, but coddles posters who stalk and harass others. The mods edit people's posts, then put you on "miserable user" when you complain. And now, if you question anything about the board, the admin threatens to ban you publicly, instead of a private message the way it used to be. I don't give this place much longer. It's dying off.

And ban or place restrictions of the accounts of those who report them or mention their practices on the board.

DocIsIn runs a cadre of trolls/socks and when he is moderating, he and the others flood every non-leftist thread with no-content flames and garbage that is in explicit violation of the rules. I have reported them repeatedly, no action is taken, except to sink the threads in the limited access, members-only forum.

Been a member of the site since 2014 and will say do not use that site for political discussion because the site is full of trolls including the moderation team...

Also if you use the site make sure to use a VPN and something like Duck Duck Go to keep them from tracking your information.

The site has known hackers on it while promoting Storm Front Material...

Also do not question the moderation team or they will get upset and will ban you from the site.

So let me repeat:

1. Known trolling site for Storm Front users.

2. Use a VPN and Duck Duck Go while surfing the site.

3. Moderation will ban you if you question their authority...

USMB membership consists of predominantly racist, bigoted extreme right wingers who are obsessed with hating immigrants, blacks, LGBTQ individuals and democrats. It's a haven for the lunatic fringe, and many of them even advocate murdering anyone who is not white and ultra conservative.

Ironically a couple of the nuts there even claim to be Jewish, namely Lisa558 and Indeependent.

This place is a refugee for bigots of all kinds of isms. The moderation has become a total joke after the board allowed posters to called for the banning of other posters for no reason other than they disliked them. Unfortunately the administration is seems to care about revenues.

It was a good board at one time, perhaps one day it will return to being a good board.

Seems the administration cannot find new mods and just recycles old one who have already proven to be poor mods. One mod has changed his name three times and is still a total $#*! but remodded by the current idiots running the board.
