Well, today is the day that I've been banned from Debatepolitics, and the reason was that I stood my ground against a moderation team, that was actively working against me.
I've been on the site for some years now, and I can tell you that what I originally heard of the them was mostly true. Even though I did not want to believe it, and I was particularly starved for this sort of discussion.
The admins are split into two groups. One does their jobs, and the other does not, while also abusing what power that they collectively possess.
They routinely change the rules to suit their own opinon at the moment, and are not above breaking them of their own free will, even going so far as to make personal/racist attacks on anyone who doesn't' agree with them.
You will not be treated fairly, especially if you do not agree with their own form of political opinion, and you will easily see that they allow other posters that they favor, to break the rules. While you will be punished the very moment that they deem you to have stepped out of line.

I will also give you a direct warning about the Administrator RedAkston, is possibly one of the largest offenders in this case. He will play at being your friend in the beginning, but he will fall back into deriding you and punishing you if you so much as question a moderator's actions. Even if you can directly prove that the moderator is lying, or if they've broken the rules. He will simply claim that you're lying to him and threaten you will further punishment, if you attempt to speak up on the issue further.
He continually uplifts those who break the rules, to the position of moderator, and removes those who fall out of favor. It's his actions that I believe have caused the site to fall as far as it has.

There is a part of me which is sad to say goodbye to this site, after helping it to grow for the last two years. But I'm also happy to see that I no longer have to deal with such a group of racist bigots, who actively belittle those around them, for their own selfish reasons. Funny enough, practically none of them are right-wing. They're all either self proclaimed liberals, or communist.
Which was another aspect that other reviews had warned me about as well.

Interestingly enough. The moderator who ended up getting me banned, was a new moderator, and one that RedAkston uplifted himself. He'd cited me for breaking site rules, and directly lied to me on that issue. Which I called him out on, and required moderation on working to have the penalty removed. While also pointing out how he'd directly lied in his ruling.
His name is Jetboogieman, and he's probably one of the largest offenders of the sites rules to have been on the site in a long time. He's actively targeted posters due to their race and repeatedly broke site rules, for days at a time.

This just goes to show you the kind of people that RedAkston is willing to allow into power.
