Hey Admin........ no disrespect but I see you won't touch the derogatory language thing with a ten foot pole. Why? Serious question, not trying to inflame.

I'm talking about enforcement................ why is it not enforced. It would cut down on the trolling enormously.

But how much conversation would happen if they all agree ? I think it get boring very quickly.

Perhaps having separate forums would invite other mindsets?
Do you know that even a whole site popped up once with banned posters? Guess how that went for them? Turns out that banned posters were banned for very good reasons, oops.

Pretty much every time I actually look at the post histories of these banned users (because they want a review or do things like making troll accounts), the reasons they got banned are clear and the mods were absolutely correct. And it never has to do with their political views.

I think that's a great idea, but it should include Trump Democrats. Like Reagan demorats, there alot of white working class and middle class voters who the Democrats have alienated. I, for one, would love to see a right wing like they have in Europe, populist nationalist but more green and working class than country club Republicans

the main forum would still exist people.

In context, I think some people would want a genuine opinion of say Democratic primary posters without Republicans who never plan to vote or would vote for a spoiler chiming in.

Such moderation would diminish the troll count exponentially as these people by definition are only here to inflame the other side, whichever that side may be.
EDIT apparently you can't say "l!bt@rd" so at least ther's that.
Might be a good idea.

Then why ask at all? You already have your mind made up, just do it.

The Trump Democrat is a myth at least in size.

Reagan Democrats havent voted for a Democrat in 40 years, they are no longer Democrats.
