I think the site does have a slight bias overall towards the left, but right wing opinions are now becoming more prevalent and a little more balanced.

Interesting thing to consider. Like I said in the OP, I do applaud the majority of the mods for not having politics blind their judgement on players. Hey, at least we don’t get banned for saying “Trump isn’t that bad” *cough cough* resetera *cough cough*

And as for the adult content ban - which I agree with - you said that the right-wingers that led to it being banned were "prudishly crying". I take it to mean you oppose the move. So do you think adult content should be allowed on NS as well?

Not going to be so it's moot.

Won't say really, but I see some mods warning and banning Conservatives quicker than Liberals who most of the time get a unofficial warning until they go too far or they do nothing about it). And if a Conservative and a Liberal are having a debate it is mostly the Conservative who gets a warning or a ban, and the Liberal get away with nothing while both are breaking the forum rules. I've experienced it too, not going to call names but that person got away with nothing while that nation personally attacks me and I came into self-defense and I got banned

It's almost as if right-wing ideologies are incompatible with civil communities and tend to produce more violent beliefs that such communities don't tolerate.

No. I think it is ridicolous to say that NS has a bias. Of course, the moderators might act totalitarian in some situations, but I haven't noticed any infringement at the grounds of my political ideology. I feel like NS is a bazaar containing a broad variety of political ideologues.

This "left wing bias" accusation shit is only usually used by someone on the right that has been flaming and/or trolling their way across the forums, and is now butthurt that one of the Mods has brought down the banhammer on their head.

That was totally uncalled for, I've seen a Liberal player/nation here starting with S who got fully b***hurt when he got a warning

What part of what I said offended you specifically? Because I don't see it.

It is not uncommon for someone to claim the mods are biased when he or she gets warned, banned, or deleted. I've seen many play that card from rightists, leftists, Islamists, etc.

I mean these days "left wing bias" just means "isn't a complete alt-right echo chamber".

Kind of unrelated, but how come there are so many transgenders and people with alternative genders on here?

I'm pretty sure that this thread addresses left wing bias specifically.

*Checks the thread title again*

Yup, there it is.

You probably don't know this, but the people who moan about left wing bias are usually those on the right that are butthurt about getting the banhammer wielded against them. Sorry, but that's just the way that it is; so you starting to introduce liberals into a conversation regarding the kinds of people who moan about left wing bias is patently absurd.

It has actually nothing to do with being right-wing or left-wing, people disagree with it and moan about it, but some kept going who got banned, BOTH Liberals and Conservatives

For fuck's sake man, liberals are not going to moan about left wing bias if they get banned, and it is fucking ridiculous for you to suggest such a thing.

I am not even talking about left wing bias, but since you read half of what I am saying, I am not going in discussion further with you. Happy Easter

If you refuse to talk about the subject matter that the thread is covering, then why are you even here? I'm not going to encourage you to talk about off-topic shit that could lead to threadjacking.

I imagine because we don't allow people to troll and flame one another.
