We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

I’m posting this because I honestly feel the reasons given were complete bullshit. If Wintermute can use CNN as a source, why can’t I? If Fox/Elon stories are not pro-conservative, what is?
The only explanations I can think of are that Wintermute is deleting posts and banning users because he’s overreacting to the article title and getting triggered thinking it’s somehow anti-conservative, and/or he’s just using a BS excuse to kick me out of this community.
I have reached out directly to Wintermute and other mods on this community multiple times requesting explanations so I may make better contributions to this community going forward. As you can see, they’re falling mainly on deaf ears.
Maybe I’m a little trolly sometimes and for that I’m truly sorry, but I really try to adhere to rules for posting because I know how restrictive the rules are and think having these discussions can be valuable for everyone. But even when I follow mod examples they still block/ban me.
How is that anything besides a double-standard?
How does this behavior contribute positively to a community?
How is this behavior classified as anything to rational people besides power-tripping?
Do what you want if you’re the Mod, but if that’s what you have to do to spin the narrative in your head, maybe you’re just wrong and should find inner peace in accepting that. If you really wanted a healthy community here you would welcome this information as a basis for further discussion into our respective views. It’s now painfully clear you don’t.
CNN is allowed under R2 as long as it is pro-conservative or . Talking about Elon and his finances is not pro-conservative, nor is it anti-liberal. There are plenty of other places for you to talk about Elon. The topic isn't relevant to the spirit of R2.
You also posted that Kamala Harris is not in line with R2.
I have had this conversation with you ad nauseam, and I will not repeat myself constantly. I will delete the offending material and go on with life.
I will repost rule 2 to allow you to read and digest it again.

As you will note, CNN as a source of information is fine as long as it is pro-conservative. If you think one of the mods will delete it, it is best to post an explanation as to how it is pro-conservative or showing a liberal bias.
... according to wintermute. Maybe it's not so clear to the rest of us where the boundaries lie.
That’s exactly my point. He’s just selecting the level of bias that’s acceptable based on the article title and his reaction to it. His response to me indicates as much. For example, that Kamala post wasn’t about Kamala. For the third time, it was a running ticker of election-related stories, some conservative and some not so much, but if Wintermute actually read the comment on my post he would see I acknowledged that and stated my intentions for making such a post.
It seems here that if a post is “not conservative enough”, you risk getting banned. That’s no way to foster an actual community, or encourage good faith discussion.
