I only ever post on the Escapist forums. I've tried other sites with similar interests but found the moderation to be either extremely lacking, showing favoritism toward certain posters, or both. Here the mods are more just in their duties than in any other forum I've attempted to frequent. Nobody is shouted down for disagreeing, and if anyone attempts such an act they are swiftly dealt with, something I have personal experience with after a poster started a reply with "And this is why people like you...". In other forums there were always those long time posters with 5000+ posts that the mods have a fondness for, posters that will sit in a subforum and fester like a disease, killing any worthwhile debate. These people often would become mods themselves only to spread their influence to topics that they otherwise would have no part of. That does not happen here. Here we can discuss taboo topics like religion and politics, topics that could easily bring out the worst in people and so long as nobody gets terribly preachy, like for example creating multiple threads with slightly different wording expressing the same opinion, we can do so without incurring moderator wrath.
