If anybody is having trouble understanding why these accusations against Freep are irritating and unfair, they should take notice at how much effort has been expended at keeping people who want to use Freep for to advocate racism and violence off the site.

A google search shows deliberate efforts by Storm Fronters to infiltrate. All kinds of trolls come here to make the site look bad by trying to get away with extremist posts. If you read other sites that comment on Freep you will see threads where they are uncertain whether a extreme post or thread on Freep is real or whether its being done by one of their members “under cover.”

I’m not personally involved but I would imagine that the toughest of all is when regular posters have a topic that upsets them so much they go over the edge on it. There are some people I really like who are so upset (and rightly so) over illegal immigration that they suggest crazy things - I bet its no fun at all policing that.

I used to run message boards in the olden times and its a big, big pain in the rear.

It would nice if the people who have something negative to say about Freep would at least acknowledge the difficulty in moderating a board with a new post every few seconds 24/7. And if they really wanted to be fair they could also acknowledge how much more effective the moderating is here than on most other political discussion sites, particularly liberal and/or progressive sites.
