Isn't it ironic that those who complain about the moderation at this site being biased are themselves biased?
There's some transparency for ya!
It would appear Political Hotwire is awash with many immature left wing members. Having stumbled across this forum from an internet search, my only advice to anyone is to avoid the place.
PH is hilarious and a lot of fun. I've made many friends there. And there are some remarkable right-wing case studies there, too, if you're into psychology. Moderation is second to none. Even banned members keep trying to come back!
This site is well run by a 3 member Council, along with a Software expert!
The rules are laid out well. Moderation Is fair by called on members.
I like forum rules, except for the one time me got in trouble and had to do early bedtime. Most people very good, others are bad, very bad. Me no name names!
Seems the site is favored to a member named Rev HellH0und who works with a Mod to bait and ban.
Over moderated site.
Run by a bunch of liberals who do not allow people to have opinions outside their prescribed agenda. Their moderators and even council members attack the posters with impunity and congratulate some of their long term members for attacking also. All you have to do is look at their topics and you can see liberal hate. Don't come here expecting any sort of fairness.
Complex moderation system that always has a couple token right-leaning mods that rotate in and out of the staff, but never enough to override the majority of liberals. The same lefty mods have been clinging to power for years. A dozen or so 10+ year members that get away with murder while newer conservatives are baited and banned. It is a great place to observe the left in all its delusional echo-chamber glory.
I've been a member since 2010. Unlike some similar sites, moderators seem fair and don't allow their political leanings to influence their decisions as moderators. There are more liberal members than conservatives, but I don't feel like any of the liberal members gang up on the conservatives (like I've seen on similar sites from both sides), and for the most part, arguments are fair without breaking down into childish name-calling, flaming, etc.
Answer: While not a true "scam company" the site's sole purpose after being bought by "chip" (real name hidden) is to datamine your personal information. If you cross the staff there, there is at least one staff member with a history of doxxing posters and sharing personal information about other members with other members who then harass you in real life. It's a toxic environment that you should stay away from
Answer: I'm a lot smarter about politics. People even say, "Wow, Nick, you're really well informed!" That feels good.
Answer: Not very. Contact link is clunky and hidden. Replies almost never.
