Whirlpool has to be the worst forums I've encountered in over 20+ years online.
Moderators aren't educated enough to participate in serious discussions so everything gets labeled as a personal attack or trolling. They have a serious problem with moderators being overly aggressive in trying to censor reasonable posts just because it contains an opinion that they don't like.
Seems the website has been overly moderated for many years and a quick search shows multiple accounts from other users reinforcing that view. Having been lurking a lot of Ozbargain's threads for a while it seems they're atleast open to discussion and aren't as quick to label everything as hateful or trolling which gives some hope for an online community that isn't being run by fascists trying to censor everything they don't understand.
I have added a poll if you wish to share your opinion without leaving a post.
If you disagree with the thread I'd like to know why so feel free to leave a response detailing why you disagree.
Your stalking is creepy.
