They actually censor posts and threads and delete them here? That could take some getting used to. I am used to boards that don't necessarily take that kind of fascist stance on things. Boards like Political-Nutshell.com (http://forums.political-nutshell.com/) and the message boards on Bill Maher's site. Interesting.

They don't censor beliefs (except for the no swastika's on flags rule), only derogatory posts, etc. You can say what you like as long as you do it respectfully.

No, if a thread is started, such as "I hate America, all Americans are evil" will get locked, because its a direct insult. If the thread is "I don't agree with American politics" and is explained rationally, it won't get locked.

By the way, you may wish to remove your link, as linking to other sites seen as competitors to NS is not allowed.

Go have a looka t the Nuts and Bolts - Moderation Forum.
You will be able to see what type of thing they deal with, and what they do not do even if asked by some intolerant members.

One word of advice though. Do not start calling people fascists before you have any evidence.

Agreed, depending on the stance of the nation that got deleted, the mods have been called nazis, fascists, communists, socialists and everything in between I think. They don't appreciate it. The mods are objective here, no matter what your political beliefs.
