I've been kicking around the site for 15 years. The past 4 years, the site has become extremely political. It is at a point now where virtually every thread devolves into some political screaming match. Also, quality standards (if you can say there ever were any) have gone straight out the window. Terrible sources like Twitter & Daily Mail are now used regularly and if you question their reliability, mods ban you. In fact, they've gotten really out of control with the banning lately - banning anyone they don't agree with even when no rules are broken and nothing outrageous has been said, in addition to all the ridiculous rotating IP bans, and ISP bans.

Anyways, I stuck this place in my firewall. It's pretty clear to me the place is dying and being taken over by trolls.

Liberal moderators in the local forums will edit or delete posts of conservative posters, marking them as trolling or bickering, when the posts are in their own defense.

Liberal posters are allowed to attack, threaten, & harass conservative posters without consequence and these posts are never edited or removed. Some of the same posters have been doing this for years to the point that it might even be considered a criminal issue.

Reporting posts that violate the rules typically results in a mod like ibginnie entering the thread and editing or deleting all of your posts, marking them as trolling, while leaving the posts you complained about entirely intact.

There is an obvious pattern of abuse from certain posters who are clearly signing up NUMEROUS (I mean 20+) sock accounts they use to harass posters they don't like or who they disagree with.

Many of the posters don't even reside in the local area and never have, but stop by to berate other posters, spew complete nonsense, or to politically troll conservatives.

I find the comments surprising that some label this an alt-right or storefront op when the experience I've had with the forum is the exact opposite. Conservative posters are routinely silenced by moderators.
