No, there's just a disproportionate amount of shitposters that use far right conservatism as their gimmick.

Of course they persecute us. I've been moderated for posting a stat sheet straight from FBI.GOV. "That's offensive."

Most trolls on CE use it as a gimmick because they get the most replies and attention. There are good conservative posters here, but once again it's the loud minority that gets the most attention.

Most of the mods are liberal, so there is definitely somewhat of a liberal bias, although it's not malicious.

Best example of this is the way posts about Obama were treated versus the way posts about Trump are treated. People would regularly be modded for offensive/trolling for bringing up factual things Obama did, like killing innocent children in a drone strike. Meanwhile, there is a topic calling Trump mentally ill on CE right now (which is using mental illness as an insult) and pretty much every other form of insult that a mod would never delete. Similarly, it's far more acceptable to make blanket insults of Trump supporters (i.e. racist, bigots, Nazis) than it ever was of Obama supporters.

I agree that Trump is definitely a piece of shit compared to Obama, but that's not an excuse for the mods have such lopsided views on what's a violation. Again, I don't think this is conscious or malicious, but that's often the nature of how bias works.

The topic asked for your opinion, it didn't say Trump has a mental illness. For someone who knows how to skirt the TOU I figured you'd be able to spot the difference.

A topic asking if Obama had a mental illness would have been deleted for trolling immediately, as would any posts calling Obama mentally ill.

Meanwhile, we know a mod saw the Trump one because Raptor made his usually bitchy comment in it, which is the only thing he ever contributes to CE.

The mods don't target conservative users. It's a lot of trolls troll conservative ideology disproportional to the trolls who troll liberal ideology.

I got a 3KL for saying Antifa promotes violence. The moderator said "Antifa just means anti-fascist. They don't ALL promote violence!" Never mind that in every video of Antifa I've seen, they're calling for violent action and rioting.

Do you think it's equally likely that Trump and Obama are mentally ill? Or are you just engaging in a bizarre form of political correctness?

I like how even the article acknowledges that Antifa has a reputation for being militant and violent. But that's good that they actually did something good.

You can call conservatives Nazis, alt-right, mentally ill, uneducated, etc. And you won't get modded.

But saying anything comparable about liberals or leftists gets you modded asap.

well, one of those is an unstable, belligerent idiot, and the other one knows how to behave like a respectable human being

so they aren't really comparable

but, alas

Most of the mods are liberal, so there is definitely somewhat of a liberal bias, although it's not malicious.

As someone who's been on the receiving end of it for roughly eight years, I can say with confidence that it's malicious.

The moderator said "Antifa just means anti-fascist. They don't ALL promote violence!"

I have a screen from that time their former community manager defended the moderation of an anti-ISIS message, along the same lines of "they aren't ALL bad!"

Funny story, 2 out of the 3 posters I considered to be conservatrolls were revealed to be alts of liberal posters pretending to be conservatives. Which is in addition to the dozens upon dozens of actual libtrolls. Nice math though, is that the same place where you get the "1 out of 5 women in America are raped" statistic?

Yeah.

Ive been warned for posting Liberals are [a group of people that use violence to push a political agenda].

Ive never seen any blanket statement of conservatives ever be modded. Ideally, Id like both to be left alone, but at the very least be consistent and fair with both sides.

To be fair its actually embedded in the platforms of many Republicans to be anti-equality, like with embracing traditional marriage/values as code for being anti-gay/transsexual rights. In other words yall probably subconsciously attack some folks without thinking its a big deal.
