How about a one-hour "censorship" free period?

That's not true at all.

One example of a true statement that Jeff took down.

Oh, please....there are hundreds. I haven't stored them before he takes them down.

But as an example, liberals were decrying how it was the "breaking point" to see that Trump is putting children in cages. I pointed out that Obama put them in cages in 2014, and liberals didn't consider Obama's action a breaking point. It was deleted.

Are you sure you're not confusing the mere presence of children in cages with children torn from their adult caregivers in cages? Because Obama didn't do the latter, as far as I know.

No, it was specifically about the cages.

I'd have to copy and save every post I make in case Jeff deletes it? And besides, if he deleted it, and then I tried to repost it, he would delete it again and ban me.

The right-wingers are completely incapable of understanding the difference between temporary housing of unaccompanied children and the intentional separating of children from their parent. Trying to explain the difference is a waste of effort.

If you don't like the rules of a privately run forum, start your own.

So find a new forum. I think you're getting your answer in this thread...

Yeah, this is a free country. Start your own forum.

Use your big brain to do that.

Why don't you just go to 8Chan or Gab? No one wants to see your "hurr durr durr" posts.

Wow.....once Jeff came in with his condemnation and insults toward Republicans, his army of leftists piled on even stronger.

That you consider this forum as a battleground, consisting of "armies" of ideologies, is a problem and a threat to civic discourse.

Never hewed of those forums, but I'm guessing they are racist. Why would you assume a Republican who disagrees with liberalism is a racist?

This thread is an example of the hate coming from liberals. Anyone who disagrees with their leftists worldview is told to go to a racist site.

Why would you just assume a forum you never heard of is racist? You aren't lying, are you? Lies are another reason your posts get deleted.

To be honest, I have noticed biased deletion on Jeff''s part. Some interesting posts are deleted that shouldn't be. However, I imagine that this number pales in comparison to the number of genuinely hateful and disruptive posts he deletes, and since he's human and prone to error, well, I don't mind so much.

Again, Jeff, I would encourage you to train someone to help you moderate DCUM so you don't have so much on your plate, and can be extra thoughtful about moderation during the run-up to the election.

Better idea: How about a 1-hour period where Trump supporters post actual, researched information about policy issues on the table? Not "dur dem socialist libs" crap. Real number, real research, real argument. "I'll wait," as they say.

(Nothing cute like 2 a.m. - 3 a.m.) Naturally, you would still delete posts with forbidden words (f, n, c, whatever else), but posts that make valid points that refute the liberal position would be allowed to remain. The forum is becoming uninteresting when one point of view is cheered on and the other is actively suppressed. Even you have admitted that there's no "free speech" in a private liberal forum, but maybe....for just one hour during normal "awake" hours.....you could test out a more balanced treatment?

Or, alternatively, if you didn't want to allow Republicans completely free reign, what about marking certain threads as "open" to indicate that conservative or opposing posts will be allowed to stay up? Then you could compare the "open" threads to the "closed" threads and see which ones generate more interest in the form of traffic. You could run the test for a week, and then if you didn't like the results, go back to deleting Republican posts.

Brilliant idea
