It's been like this forever here and why I intend leaving. We've had years of homophobic, racist, sexist and reactionary threads and posts, plus links to Nazi sites. Official complaints through the correct channels usually got ignored, or even if answered by Staff, didn't change anything.
A few of us answered these in a reasonable manner and then the thread gets closed for being 'political'. What they mean is that no left-wing political threads or posts are allowed.
After starting a thread called 'This Site' in the Off Topic' section some views are aired which seem to have hit home, at last. The fascist links have stopped, as have openly rt-wing posts (see Uncle Sam wants you) after complaints, so we made some progress.
The owner of the site is a high ranking Mormon and one of the seniors here openly campaigned for Trump. Posting political threads of a left wing nature will get nowhere and it'll get closed almost immediately. I'm boxing clever with the 'Moneyless Society' thread in Off Topic and to date keeping it on track.
