VPN override
April 25, 2021

US Message Board wants members to closed their VPNs. The stated reason is that they wish to find members who were banned or removed. The real reason may be that some of the administrators are data mining, which is a violation of its own regulations.

It is not moderation when the moderators choose poster to ban then they start building a case finding "violations" by tracking and following the poster whenever the poster is active.

This the "moderation" that is used at USMB. Its effective for this reason... if you go to the rule page you will note that after each paragraph outlining a specific rule there is this phrase "at the moderators discretion".

It means that even if you in reality broke no rule and you stayed within all posted written guidelines that the moderators can still say you broke rules and guidelines even though objectively it is not so. At their discretion you did break rules.

Go to their Rule page and check whether this is so or not. The Moderators are Uniformly Right wing... they go after Liberals

STTAB tells it like it is
February 28, 2019
Updated review

I was permabanned by an Admin that is no longer even on the board for complaining about a moderator who is no longer a mod on the board abusing her modding authority

Since then people have joined and pretended to be me, People have lied about me, people talk about me on the board when I can't defend myself, including just today the self fame lead mod is talking $#*! about me while keeping me from posting in return.

The moderators spend more time chasing posters they don't like then they actually do moderating the $#*! show of a site..

How come you won't get back to me? Could it be because you know Cereal Killer permabanned me for complaining about the way Angels&Demons misused her moderator powers against me when I made fun of her for trying to get Mad Cabbie cock and you just don't want to admit it? Yeah I think that's exactly it.

Forum Foundry must be the worst website company in the world, no wonder they had to sell all their other webistes and have to resort to begging members to help them pay their server bills.

Great message board.
August 9, 2023

Very active board. Wide range of topics discussed from A to Z. Lightly and fairly moderated. Mostly right-leaning participants in the political discussions.

Here is what the ban was based on.

JakeStarkey, Your message (Question for Republicans: How do you expect to recover from Trump?) contains trolling, flaming and/or no content: Trump has built the wall, deported 11 million aliens, repealed and replaced ACA on the first day, passed tax reform, and installed golden toilets in every house in America.

West wall notified me: that my "You are walking by the grave yard, Trumpflakes" in reply to her outright flam and trolling... does not follow our rules. Your message may have been removed or altered. Your account's access may be limited based on these actions. Please keep this in mind when posting or using our site.

I can easily do the six months, but that usmb may still be open then for business is questionable.

Child rape
June 18, 2018

This site has special rules to protect pedophiles and tears into anybody who opposes the rape of children. It stalks posters who oppose child rape. It mocks those who oppose child rape. It taunts people by indicating that the indignation caused by the rape of children is funny to them and then it bans people for opposing the rape of children.

Shame on any and all those associated with this sickness.

If you don't mind getting death threats, this this place is for you.
Example: I hope someone you love dies.
If you are a right winger on this site, then this kind of rhetoric is OK. But if you are the least bit critical of Trump, you are banned for pointing out he is an unindicted co conspirator in multiple felonies. This is a site that calls evolution and EVAPORATION wild liberal theories. Not a joke.
So if you are looking for a laugh, this is the place to go. If you are serious, not so much.

This is a haven for sock puppets & trolls allowed by moderators to flame topics in order to garner more post which makes the ownership more money $ which is spent for further hate propaganda. Owner never reports the income, nor donation, nor value of the web site to the IRS and doesn't even have required by law Business License ID to identify the ownership of the Business. For all we know this could be owned by Russians or terrorist using it to garher data & harass Americans and cause division.

'Nuff said. But since 100 characters are required... if you want to trade white supremist talking points with fellow racists, or you want to play whack-a-mole with racists for entertainment, this is the website for you.

If you see a bunch of negative reviews for a message board and 1/2 the reviews are whining about the board and their admin being "right wing" and the OTHER 1/2 are whining about the board and their admin being "left wing" ------------------ That ought to suggest that USMB is doing free speech and moderation and administration correctly.

And that's the way it is. There are different forums with different levels of moderation. There are forums with virtually no moderation that are "member only". Your content there is never subject to political bias. You just have to contribute to the discussions.

And THAT is probably what all this surprising amount of whining is all about. Don't join if you just want to shout slogans and shut down topics. OR -- if you can't carry on a conversion with "normal" people because you have the focus of a squirrel.

I found USMB to be the best place I have found for Constitutional discussions and arguments. The Conservatives there are better at the political arguments; the Liberals are better in the religious discussions on secular reasoning. There are sections just for slamming and taunting, so there is no need to get banned if people stay in the right sections. I think the Mods do a great job, but maybe it's because I don't cause problems for them or other members.

In all my years on forums USMB has to be the bottom of the barrel. There is a posse of clowns (they literally use clown avatars) who resort to stalking, sending vile PMs, gang up and report people to mods who are in unison with them and the end result is a nightmare.

The mods engage in threads and if you dare disagree with them just wait, a warning will soon follow for some minor infraction. Or if you engage someone with a mod as a friend they will cry to the mod and boom! Again some minor infraction warning. The mods are the most childish of the bunch.

There is also a member who is constantly starting threads about children, vulgar sexual threads about adolescents and the admin and mods allow it. It's sickening

If you enjoy childish antics, Fascist moderation and a clueless admin then USMB is the place for you. If you are looking for intellectual debate I suggest you find another forum. USMB is horrible, simply horrible

Moderation is horrible
December 1, 2019

Meuster, a faux conservative in reality a soy boy leftist. The other mods protect his girly boy tush.

Stay away from this $#*!hole forum. Your info is not safe and AVG warns you when you log in. Your banking info is at risk. Flags all over the place. Data mining is rampant

The Moderator DontTazMeBro, is the typical Marxist/Demofascist Moderator who insults anyone who doesnt like the crappy President Joe Biden. Then when he DTMB is called out for his insults, he bans you for life. I have been on that board for over 4 years, and now, i just dont give a rats $#*!, about it anymore.

My name on the board, was Mikeoxenormous.

DontTazMeBro, is just a lying piece of $#*!.

USMB is by far the most broadly tolerant of all the politically oriented message boards I've ever found. While extremely offensive nonsense is not tolerated the moderators on USMB permit the free exercise of opinions and they never impose their authority on participants who maintain reasonable positions. The board is widely versatile and is very well maintained. The negative reviews I've been reading are assuredly written by left-wingers who cannot tolerate the level of freedom of expression permitted by USMB Administrators.

Ever wonder where your crazy, alt-right uncle goes to blow off steam, since he can't be himself in civil company? Look no further than the US Message Board. This sight is bursting at the seams with climate change deniers, evolution deniers, white nationalist scum, and Trump's surrogate mommies. As one would expect, they are vulgar, vile, and hateful. Ironically enough, they are also all huge crybabies who report any poster who dares treat them the way they treat everyone. The mods abuse their site powers, getting into personal tiffs with posters. Mods will send you private messages that amount to "I can act any way I please, but if you insult me, you're gone." Trust me, your brain will need a shower after 5 minutes of exposure to this dumping ground for angry old white men.

For whatever reason I am now blocked from posting, when I try I get the message 'Spam', contact administrator if this is in error. There is no where you can contact the administrator, also states if you want your account deleted (I do!), contact an administrator, however since I am blocked, I can't contact an administrator. My account is new and I've only made a couple comments, this must be one of the heavily CENSORED forums, stay away!

Right wing support group
September 11, 2017

It's a great place to go if you happen to be a far-right wingnut moron looking for a support group to validate your existence. Or, if you like to "debate" people whose heads have calcified to the point of facts bouncing off with a audible plink (think Kellyanne Conway).

Leftist snitch controlled... one complaint and you're banned. Mods are vindictive and petty and don't grasp the concept that the posters are their customers. They believe they can survive banning the best-read and viewed writers. The owners are lying to the advertisers... most of the remaining posters are multiple soks. Avoid like the plague.

USMB just banned me for a month. I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHY, and these $#*!s don't message you, to give you any reason, or even tell you what the hell their problem is.
In addition, the site has massive problems. It is very difficult to post. Immensely long waiting times for your letters to appear when you try to post. The whole thing is a mish-mash.
Maybe they finally convinced me to dump them, and not just for a month.
