So 6 Labour, 5 Lib Dems, 5 Tory and 1 Green MP in the county is a right wing skew
I think I see why, with your grasp of facts, you may be struggling understanding the make up of NSC

There are still plenty of right leaning posters on here and most are worthy of a discussion.
What we don't have (unlike our beloved team) is many 'wingers'. Right or left.
Although, as you say it really isn't about political leanings. More about not being those things you list and being able to construct a reasonable argument using facts and logic.
It may be that their is a certain culture on NSC but for me it is more about being called out for positing unsubstantiated/poorly researched bilge.
Personally I quite like it, the bilge posters probably do not but surely there are other places to spew their halfbaked opinions. Tommy Robinson's twitter feed or the Daily Mail comments section spring to mind.

Still pretending to be confused about that one are you?I got may last ban for calling someone a retard with a mod comment "We dont use that word here", a quick search showed those on the left using it. This was in response to being called scum by one and a moron by another. Neither got a ban. This explains the difference in numbers I would guess.
2 tier moderating as well as 2 tier policing.
It was explained by another poster pretty clearly.
Bilge.

I agree, politically we're probably a long way apart on many things, but he's civil, respectful of counter views and often funny.
I'd buy him a pint and sure we'd find much in common as Albion fans, but not sure I'd donate!

And two tier posting …. Guess which tier you are on?I got may last ban for calling someone a retard with a mod comment "We dont use that word here", a quick search showed those on the left using it.

You seem to have this belief that NSC has some kind of duty to be representative or balanced (two incredibly subjective terms in any case) - may I ask why?
NSC is not the BBC, it is a privately owned and operated forum with no duty to anyone in respect of balance or representation of any kind.

Could you have the courage of your apparent conviction and explain who you're referring to here?
I find it really hard to agree with any of your posts in the past, but.....it's hard to disagree with this posting of yours.
Allegedly over 30,000 members on this forum () but a forum that is utterly dominated by so few.
It's unfortunate that our Forum owner is very much concerned with his close family ( and I wish him and his family well during these horribly difficult times ). I've always had much respect for him as I'm sure 99.99% of posters agree. Just lately..( the last year or so ) this forum is now dominated by the Left wing. It doesn't represent the average Albion supporter or anything else.... except the left wing and utter bores like Watford zero.
I vary between right of centre and left of centre depending on what's happening to our Government and what's happening in the world at large.
Northstandchat is still the best Football forum for our club, but only because there really isn't any alternative.
It's sad and disappointing what it has been allowed to become.
The whole country is dominated by the pinko intelligentsia these days. We had the left wing economic establishment take down our PM manque. The woke billionaires running our beloved tabloids. Lefty lynch mobs vocally lynching genuine patriotic lynch mobs. No wonder it's spilled over onto NSC and these days if you use a dated slur, you get a̶r̶r̶e̶s̶t̶e̶d̶ a̶n̶d̶ t̶h̶r̶o̶w̶n̶ i̶n̶ j̶a̶i̶l̶ a temporary ban. World's gone mad
Warnings remain entirely private between the moderators and the person receiving that warning.I got may last ban for calling someone a retard with a mod comment "We dont use that word here", a quick search showed those on the left using it.

As such, you would have no idea whether the person calling you a name received a warning, in the same way, no one else would have visibility of any warnings issued to you.
I've issued numerous warnings to those who seem to align with the political left for being abusive.
In short, play the ball and not the man. If you play the man, and it's reported or we happen to notice it anyway, then a warning will be issued regardless of where your political allegiances lie.
There's probably not much solid data on the political views of different clubs' fans. However, we know (from a survey back in 2017) that 81% of BHAFC fans voted against Brexit (easily the highest proportion of any EPL team), and we know (from the GE last month) that Brighton & Hove voted overwhelmingly for left wing parties (Brighton Pavilion around 85% left wing [Green + Labour + LibDem] and Brighton Kemptown approx 75% leftwing). So I guess it's not a surprise that NSC has a left-leaning perspective. And I think that's very likely to be matched in the stadium itself (eg: the applause for players taking the knee has always seemed pretty universal at The Amex....especially compared to some grounds I've been to "oop north"!

100% and both obvious and self evident.
Stray off of Albion related comment and it stands to reason any political discourse is going to be dominated like that. Of course that can also make it a bit of an echo chamber on some issues and not neccessarily indicative of national sentiments, but that is the majority view of the local community our club is embedded in.
The demographic of Albions catchment is very similar to the demographic of NSC and the wider fan base. Go figure!

I'm an imbecile with a mod panel
The problem isn't finding an imbecile with a mod panel, it's identifying which one

Quite the opposite it seems.
Unfortunately that means Bozza has no future in the Labour party!

I knew all this would end in tiers.

I think that there are, as yet, undiscovered tribes in the middle of the Amazon rain forest that know who he's talking about
