The absent owner(s) allow the morale on the forum to decline. The site runs on participant's donations. Their appointed moderators play favorites and abuse their power. They are the worst I've ever witnessed on the Internet. Partial to their pets and treat people they don't like badly. The owners allow false advertising on their site banner. Civility is not a must and some moderators are as partial as they come politically. The advertise that bias is optional and civility is a must. If the site were on the up and up, the moderators would live up to the owner's claim. They don't. The basement is an area of the forum that needs to be eliminated. Mostly leftist trolls inhabit and are allowed to bully more conservatively leaned posters. This wouldn't be so bad but this sort of thing is encouraged by the moderators of the forum. I'd give this site a negative rating if allowed. For now, I give it a D-. allowed to User's recommendation: Don't waste your time unless you're a masochist.
