What is not welcome is flaming and trolling. There are plenty of conservatives who make their points -- points that people might find disagreeable -- without resorting to flames and trolling. These conservatives are not warned, and when people complain of their position, they are told to discuss it because it is not breaking the rules.
If some conservatives find it difficult to make their point without calling their opponents names, that is not a bias against conservatives, it is correcting rule-breaking behavior.
If to improve our PR we are supposed to embrace people trolling and flaming, then our PR will not be improving.
Conservatism isn't welcome in NSG. Whenever I post something about religion or conservatism outside the RWDT or the CDT, it is usually met with toxic criticism. This is one aspect that moderation continuously fails to address. The RWDT was a place for right wingers to talk without the toxic responses we usually get. Maybe you don't believe me, but that's my lived experience and the experience of a lot of others. I'm obviously down to argue against rough debaters every now and then, but I would rather not have that be my only experiences on NSG.
"Conservatism isn't welcome in NSG" That one does get thrown out by people who hold views which are considered repugnant and attacked for espousing them especially when they deal with segmenting and or belittling groups of society. If you want to have judgmental views? By all means. You just can't have a "get out of jail" card by saying it's your religion or in some cases culture.
