Racist Groups are taking over the Site
January 13, 2018
Updated review

They claim no personal attacks are allowed, but I was Trolled and Personally Attacted after every post. Eventually the Moderators tracked a presued me everyday to add up points to keep me from replying to the attacks, after the Mods would do nothing. If you want an example of whats allowed at this Forum; simply go to the Threads created on January 11th 2018, when the Trump called countries A-Holes. Look at the ALL Members who were allowed to post anything they wanted with ZERO Moderation.

I've personally noticed that this Forum's Moderators go silent when the Alt-Right start spewing their propaganda against anyone of color. A few of the Left Leaning members try to step in, but when they do it just gets increasing worse and worse. My guess is, there's a Good Old Boy networking going on in the bowels of this Forum. Please, don't take my word for it, log-on and you'll be able to immediately see it.

A no-insult board
January 8, 2018

Board policy states no personal insults, period. That takes some getting used to, and I got some infractions for it, being I was used to more of a free-for-all thing.

The upside to that? Banning insults removes about half of conservative trolling. They've still got their conspiracy theories, but their raging is greatly reduced if they can't go off on insult tirades.

The downside? They go sort of passive-aggressive on you. Instead of saying "You're a child molester!", which is not permitted, they'll say "Libtards are all child molesters", which gets around the no-insult rule, being it doesn't insult a specific person. So you do the same thing back, all sides dancing around the no-insult rule.

Same as every board, it has more than its share of right-wing conspiracy theorists who want to tell us all about their own special bizarre universe. I think the mods are a bit too hands off there, being they should move most of it to conspiracy theory folders. However, at least you don't get banned here for the crime of destroying nutty right-wing conspiracy theories, which puts this board way, way above USMB. And that's all we liberals really need, to not be censored.

Crappy Site
November 29, 2017

This site doesn't allow people to join. It never sends you a confirmation email, and there is no way to contact anybody to let them know this. I'm guessing it's because they want to discourage anybody from coming in and countering some of the bigotry and misinformation being posted by some of the people on the site. Don't waste your time here. There are better places to post.

Half of the Posters are Conspiracist or mentally ill. Many rejects from other boards. Threads in "Latest News"/News sections are very often Conspiracy links, followed 10 pages of responses, mostly from their fellow crazies. Probably only one in every 50 Conspiracy threads that are started, are moved to he Conspiracy section.
But even in Legit threads one has to wade through crap neck deep in insanity.
One Must assume the Hate/Loony Speech is APPROVED by the Owner, who may very well be one of them.

PF is well moderated, much more fairly than DP and usmb. The mods seem inobtrusive. They do insist on a modicum of politeness to one another. The posters' abilities on PF outweigh as group those on DP and usmb. All in all, PF is the right kind of forum that is well needed for nerds like us who inhabit the political discussion boards.

I actually left here because I was tired of my "vacations." You can't stand up for yourself. If you are attacked, and the mods dont think it's an attack, the post stays. If you reply, you get an infraction/ban. I went on to usmessageboard and have had no issues. It's a good forum but they treat you like children.

The great decisions about specially Europe, was made on this 3 cities.its obvious that USA, will never mixt in Europe military against Russia, esspecially the eastern countries and baltic states, the last meeting in Helsinky was also a oportunuty for DONALD TRUMP, to thanks russian for just say a song, WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM A FRIEND, JOE COCKER,. Also in ours days you dont submit a country by war, you do this simple way, you submit her economically see China, for example.The conclusion is better for Europe to love USA, but is muvh better to love Russia.

This is a site full of anti semitic; the mods probably are since they let it run free and remove/attack people who stand up to the anti semitis
