Would you like a demonstration? I think the thread is about due for one. I've been letting a lot of shit slide recently. And it's not like the mods are keeping the usual suspects in check.

If you think someone's post deserves to be actioned, please report it. The thread moves way too fast so it's easy to miss stuff.

The thread is really only as good as the conservative posters allow it to be. The liberal snark and shitposting is a constant. The only thing that varies is the degree to which the conservatives reciprocate.

You're forgetting about LL. Neither conservative nor shitposter; interesting perspective and civil.

People who disagree with me are terrible and should all be banned, people who agree with me are great, and the guy with the weird position but who essentially says the same thing than me allows me to show how open minded I am.

Where are we again, in kindergarden? I mean, what's the purpose of that thread? To complain about people who argue with you? Here is an idea, make a "US politics megathread from right wing perspective" where you can talk with xDaunt and LL, and all your problem will be solved without having to whine about moderators, who actually do a great job at letting people express themselves without the whole thing degenerating as it would everywhere else into a giant flame war diarrhea.

Are there many places on the internet where we actually have both conservatives and liberals engaged in more civil discourse? We live in a tense period of time, political actions have real consequences, people see their lives negatively influenced by policies.. It makes sense that people are angry. But what we need is more dialogue, not less.

I think most of us can just, assume some personal responsibility, read your post before you press post, evaluate whether that snarky line is really necessary, maybe remove it if it isn't. But like, 2017 politics is a contentious issue. And the reason it's contentious, is that it's important. Seeing as how we're a website centered around gaming, I get that some of it can seem out of place, but I really think we can, and should, accept more adversity when it comes to issues that really, truly matter, than what we accept from balance discussions or whether flash bisu or jaedong is king of brood war.

I don't see why it's so hard to understand that the complaint isn't about all of the liberal posters so much as it is about a few of the liberal posters. This is not a new complaint that can be chalked up to the current polarized political environment. There's been a disparity in the moderation of conservative and liberal posters for years. Conservative shitposting was basically stamped out whereas no such purge was ever conducted on the other side.

Sure! Please feel free to give me a reason to close the thread forever and be done with the hellhole that it is. What you should have taken away from my post is the realization that if someone smears shit all over the thread, you doing the same will not make the thread better.
