I said it before too and like you, I could not believe what I was seeing and what was seeing being defended on a mainstream forum either

I always felt there was a lot of misogyny on there. Lots of incel types who blamed women for all their problems.
General discussion/politics was a cesspit for that
The politics forum was appalling for bulliying... though only one side was sanctioned by the mods, of course. If you fought back, stood up for youself, disagreed, you got banned.
It's a better message board without those subforums but I'm really surprised it's still going at all. It can't make much money. I don't think you can even register there anymore.

That's the reason why I left and closed my account. The moderation was absolutely appalling and very one sided.
Trust Pilot reviews (just checked - currently rated 1.2 out of 5 out of average review votes) nearly all mention this.
Tanya1982 was a secret mod, I am convinced and always will be!
The moment I knew DS had "fallen" was when someone got banned just for saying I agree to another user.
The moderation was always very unfair and had no logic. I think a lot of it depended on how many reports they had about a post/poster, but the problem with that was it was often abused by people who had a grudge against someone and the mods weren’t always objective about it.
There were always favourite/protected forums members the mods let get away with anything, it really spoiled the forums.
Or if she wasn't, there were heavy suspicions that she(?) knew them, no doubt from any number of interesting incidents of the elaborately described hybrid 'carry on/adventures of/lady of the house' lifestyle that was apparently completely real.
They were probably mods themselves, I didn’t like how they were anonymous. Does anyone else remember when the site glitched and we could all briefly see the special mods forum?
That sort of happened to me. One poster made a comment and I basically said 'I agree' and she got banned and I got suspended. It was over something very trivial. It was during a time when that twit Bangla Road was posting a lot and thought he was rooster of the forum. He didn't realise he was just a rooster.
Was it Bulletguy who was banned for saying that Trans men should not be using Women's toilets ? I remember he was half English/Chinese and would talk about his heritage.
Scrabbler from the Soap forums can be a bit of a bully sometimes... and he/she always feigns ignorance when called out.
No, that was Pumping Iron, who was a really nice guy.
Bulletguy was a misogynist horror who was always slagging off his wife and patronising female posters.
Scrabbler come across as a smug know it all as well. During an EastEnders storyline, there was a new mysterious character called Jasmine and people were speculating who she was. He had guessed she was Zoe’s daughter but some others thought she was connected to Cindy as she was acting strangely around her and had done some odd things to her.
When it was revealed she was Zoe’s daughter, the way he practically went I told you so and doubled down on why he knew he was right all along and how everyone who thought differently were stupid to even contemplate any other outcome was really irritating. Some called him out but, as you say, he feigned ignorance
I thought it was Pumping Iron who got banned for saying “I agree with her” (referencing JK Rowling, commenting on that same subject you mentioned) and got banned (I got a week suspension for the same)
I can’t find it now but I remember when Tanya1982 first started to take over the forum and I pointed out that in the few months they had joined they had reported more posts from other users posts than the actual number of posts they had posted themselves. Dunno if a mod, but if not, definite a friend of one (or they are but on a different account)
I stand corrected. That was Pumping Iron.
Zx50 admitted that he beats his wife up.

So you can be banned for agreeing with JK Rowling but admitting to domestic violence is fine and the earlier referenced proudly confessing to shitting in nappies in children’s parks is fine and in fact people got banned from that site pointing that out as not normal? don’t know what happened to that site at a certain time, don’t know if it was sold to another company who gave lesser ducks to what happened to it, whether more power was given to unscrupulous and not properly vetted mods, or whether it was a timed takeover but I can’t imagine, especially now general discussion and politics has closed, that the site will last much longer. Full of awful, unpleasant people, as they are the only ones left on there because they got the pleasant people banned.
