I love the board, I can say just about anything I want. They allow users to use just about any words they like except for a few of the worst ones, but you can still get your point across without them. A lot of leftist moonbats don't like it because their arguments are usually completely debunked, their lies are exposed, and their sycophantic zealotry of all things anti-American are ridiculed mercilessly. They can't get away with trolling the forum with cut/pasted media matters agitprop like they do on every other forum. It's nothing like the Fox News Comment section where they flood the board with asinine drivel all day, on USMB they are the ones being ridiculed by the majority of people, even those with no real loyalty to any political perspective.

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.

Once again Pete7469 responds to a post which violates the rules and when reported is ignored by the Mods, to wit:
"Go eat a bag of $#*!s $#*!face"
This is a regular response posted in US Message Board, and when reported is ignored.

Partisan Moderation
November 25, 2021
Previous review

Two Mods: Meiser and WillWillHaftawaite are dishonest partisan hacks. They close threads which reflect negatively on Trump, and allow threads which have "fuck Biden" without a censor. Both of these mods interject opinions in threads expressing right wing attitudes, and single out those who post and close out threads - as noted above - that violate no rules and no explanation.

Arbitrary, petty mods
March 16, 2018

Even if you post within the "Rules", if there's a mod with a hardon for you, you will be subject to unnecessary scrutiny. Kind of like a condo board, HOA, or some pissant little city council. Little fish, little pond, the only power they have is on an anonymous board. Sniveling twat.

Unless you are in love with Hitler Youths and Ayn Rand kids, or you enjoy the worst moderation on the Internet, and rantings against at all things liberal or just plain common sense, don't bother with USMB.

You won't find debate there, the failed actor who is the Admin has no idea what that is and forget about being honest, they call that "trolling" because it upsets their little Brownshirts for Jesus and the KKK. It is a place run by morons for morons, much of the content is nothing more than pro-gun, reactionary politics, anti-homosexual and government paranoia, overt racism, and Islamophobia.

The worst of the worst post there and no one in power there seems to know it because, they are just as bad most of the time including fighting openly and even trolling members they don't like themselves. Pathetic, absolutely pathetic. See some of the posts I've uploaded if you don't believe me. One look and you'll know I'm right.

The mods here stalk posters and then ban them for objecting. They operate like bullies with one called "coyote" taking the lead and all the others falling into line by way of support.

I was a member there for about 2 years. The Flamezone used to be a decent place to throw a little shade and get some back in return. Unfortunately, the FZ is now overrun with RWNJ snitches who basically control the mods, resulting in a lot of funny people being banned or sanctioned for non-violations. Soon there will be noone left there except the snitches, who are all unfunny asshats. Great job, USMB!

This message board is terrible.Do you want to find threads on climate science denial, evolution denial, and threads claiming vast conspiracies of the world's scientists? Why look in the science section, of course.

If you post a thread in the science section debunking any of that nonsense... it is moved to the conspiracy section within minutes.

Looking for a thread describing a vast conspiracy to hide illegal activity by Democrats? Why, you'll find thousands of them in the politics section.

Looking for a thread vaguely speculating about a cover-up of corruption of the Trump circle? Scroll down and look in the conspiracy section. Even then, that thread has a 50/50 chance of having survived deletion in the first hour.

What is happening here is not necessarily right wing nutballs grooming their little echo chamber, but probably more the idea of site moderation being based on who has given the most money to the site, regarding both users and mods.

Either way, don't waste your time, unless you are an intellectual deviant looking for nodding sycophants. In that case, you will LOVE it, there.

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.

These Ex-USMB Whingers are just that, whingers. If the site is too hard to take then get out of it... but your experience is not mine.

If you find piquant situations difficult to handle then you have become a possee of whinging BORES.

I don't do Boring... Check it out USMB... nearly 40,000 cannot be wrong, take NO NOTICE OF THE BORES... Enjoy

Yes, you've read IT correctly, for the sane. I've been an active member off and on for quite a few years. Been banned before by moderators no longer there and by a few still there. It's a very fun place if you do not take yourself, the web, or the world too seriously. The staff is top notch. Free speech reigns and THAT disturbs some folks.

There have been changes in staff through the years, but as far as I can see it is for the better as things that do not change get stale and die a slow death. USMB was dying a while ago and new administration came in a while back and this event shook the place to it's very foundations. Some people cannot tolerate change. Some people have an unhealthy sense of ownership and entitlement. Then there are those who go off to other sites or start up new sites who lash out at USMB and blame the site for the state of their unhappiness with life.

I'd give USMB 7 stars if I could

But if you then dare to call him out on it, you get banned for violating the boards alleged no-family rule.

I lost my password and have no way of recovering it. The account was NOT banned. So I did what others have done and created a new one and began posting under the new one. I am neither Right or Left wing fruitcake. But I am totally against Rump. I gave as well as I got. The Rumpsters are very, very mean spirited. Fine. But I did nothing to be banned from it. But that was not the official reason I was permanently banned. Here is the reason that is given.

It's been a month now. *******@usmessageboard.com is still sending my account updates and such as if my account were still active. I just placed them on the ip block on my multiple servers. And I fired up a message board myself for sane people at http://amerimessagebase.com/ for those of you that want an alternative on a new system where you can discuss things in a civilized manner instead of a cesspool or OK Corral.

You have been banned for the following reason: bypassing ban.

The Old account was NOT in ban status when I left it. That means that it's more political than anything else. If you can't win, change the rules. Does that sound familiar? Stay away from them unless you are died in the wool Party of the Rumpster. It's a dumpster fire.

It's funny
May 4, 2015

That all these "people" dissing the site may have never been on it or those banned were banned because they violated one or more of the few serious "don'ts" and probably never read the rules.
As any reader can see some claim it's a progressive site, some claim it's far right, some claim it's a racist site. What can I say, everyone has a different opinion and some obviously can't see past their nose and I'm sure some are from other forums... Nuf said there...
It's an open site, very loosely moderated and yes the site does have it resident racists, they have their 1st amendment rights also just as most others that properly put them in their place have also.
No I don't work there, was a mod there many years ago but I have no reason, financial or otherwise to promote the site, if I did it would get 5 stars but as with everything else it could always use some improvement.
Oh and if you plan to sign up it can be rough and tumble, pretty much not a place to go if you're easily offended but there are quiet spots and actual discussion/debate, make up your own minds, don't listen to those who are ultra negative because they couldn't get their way or are paid to put down or build up sites.

It's run by a megalomaniac. Random bans. Random infractions. If you want to be a toy for some child's amusement, post there.

Otherwise, find a forum/messageboard run by grownups.
