Other sites, like Aspie Central, essentially do not even allow political discussion. So thats how other sites avoid being as "Trump-centric" as this one.
They do have a political section but it's hidden to all members unless they enable that board. But you have the option to not see it. I have never touched that section. I am afraid there will be way too many right wingers there and Trump lovers worshipping him like he is their god. Let them have their own safe space where no one can insult Trump or speak up against racism. I know that will just be taken as an attack and an insult to all Trump lovers and white fragility. I know from my experience here.
Yes. They do have a political section, but they have those "open sesame" things you gotta go through to access it. Like you said.
I actually joined the site a couple of months ago, but havent gotten around to revisiting it. But many one time WPers are there, and some under the same names as they had here. You might recognize old friends if you visit the site. And there are advantages, and disadvantages, to keeping political vitriol under wraps like they do, vs letting it be open like here.
Said hello to one person there who got banned from here. He is a person I might have bonded with if I had only known him from aspie central because Trump would never have come up in conversation. But on here was always bickering with everyone.
I assume that they keep political debate hidden just to keep the site friendly. Not to protect Trump supporters per se. But Trump supporters do often leave this site for Aspie Central. So you maybe right that their hidden political debate room might be a Trumpsters hangout.
I have also recognized the same people there and I think I know who you were talking about. I thought that user was a troll here, a political one and was always provoking people and then playing the victim. I didn't think he was telling the full story on there and the real truth but I kept my mouth shut because I didn't want it to be seen as an attack for telling everyone he was a troll here and the bully and the "bullies" were the provoked ones reacting to his trolling.
Don't get me wrong, he sounds like a decent and normal person when he isn't involved in politics. He wrote good posts here before and I liked his humor before he turned into a political troll.
Did his name start with "E"?
I can't talk about banned members but yeah. Case closed.

I'm sure EzraS's temp ban ended a while ago. And there were members like Krafti who didn't think should've been banned others like Bender who felt he was being bullied. So that wasn't an empty claim made by him alone, others talked about him being bullied. And the reason for that is because some decided he was a troll and had contempt towards him. That's probably the story of several ex-members.
Well I have never reported him nor ever complained about him. I have no idea if anyone has ever assumed I had or that I was part of it. I still find my way onto naughty lists without being involved.
I rarely ever complain about users here to mods. In fact in think that is what got me into trouble here before over ten years ago, never bothered reporting anyone so that got me put on the bad list by the old staff term. I can't win. :shrugs:

You're not on a naughty list. Really if what I'm talking about doesn't apply to you, then I'm not talking about you.
That's good. I can never tell what people are thinking.

How many on here who disagreed with your political views weren't political trolls in your eyes?
It gets decided by some that someone is a troll and then of course that leads to that person being treated with contempt.
We had a user here who was clearly trolling Trumpers here with his anti trump threads and you could tell. He is still posting here but doesn't do that anymore.
I almost spit my drink out!trump is still a s**t show! I just have other things to do with my time.

Has it been 6 months? Maybe.
None of this is why he got a temp ban. He got a temp ban for repeatedly breaking forum rules IMO.
People don’t get banned for 6 months for not breaking forum rules. Ask me how I know.
