I've been a member of USMB for 8 years. I'm not a charter member, but I do see things. I think there are some guidelines for message boards and forums on the internet, and moderators do not have a choice but to stop some issues such as racism and stalking, so it is not much of a board that welcomes either. There are laws about the internet use against threatening other posters, which is the #1 reason for people being banned. I saw a banned notice on one member and sourced out his last 10 posts. Holy cow, the poster threatened the life of another poster 4 times before he was even caught breaking that rule--no life-threatening of other posters. I find it a well-run board. And it's a good place to learn the do's and don't's of political discussion if one doesn't know them. Oh, and I'm sorry to see people get banned, and am happy to see them come back if they can let stuff go.
