Fast becoming a haven for far left liberals.

I spent many hours on MSE forums over the years, handing out advice, with some 20'000+ posts to my name. It used to be a good forum, you could be honest with people and ultimately help them get out of financial hell and hopefully save them some money.

Recently though (August 2017) the forum mods have been politically leaning very much left of centre and happily banning long term members, the people who really made the forums so successful, banning them for no good reason, often just for telling the absolute unfiltered, un-sugarcoated truth.

Criticise capitalism or consumerism, get banned. Criticise someone for being in debt and taking out yet more loans, get banned. Crack a slightly controversial (even with no swearing) joke, get banned. Quote a famous person who once said something else that was controversial (like Sir Winston Churchill), get banned. Criticise a govt run organisation, get banned. Criticise the BBC, get banned.
