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
