Unlike liberal/progressive sites, all are allowed to participate as long as they follow some simple rules. Ignorance of the rules is not a valid defense. Even though it is predominantly Conservative, it is not an echo chamber by any stretch of the imagination with many speaking their minds without being censored. The mods are fair but strict due to having so few rules. People who have given this site bad reviews usually went out of their way to break these rules. I broke one once. I was warned and that was it. I'm still there and wasn't banned over it. I've participated on this Forum since 2014.
