(32,064 posts)times and believe it's not as good as the old moderator system. When this site began it is my understanding it was a place to meet up with other like-minded people who were appalled by GWB becoming president. I joined this site when I was volunteering for Obama locally in 2008. Now the admin of the site seem to be much less involved and are branching out - Discussionist etc. I don't blame them for trying to make a living in this horrid capitalist reality that we all have to live with, but I do think quality has suffered. A lot of right wingers on here now & your chance to catch them is before they have 100 posts, and only if everyone on MIRT agrees with the action. It's impossible to keep anyone but the most obvious troll out with that sort of a set-up.
