Vanguard News Network Forum - View Single Post - POLL: What Experiences Have You Had With Stormfront Moderators? Who's Your Favorite? Who's Your Least Favorite?

Hugh Akston · January 15th, 2020

Stormfront forum has played a significant part in the lives of pro-white advocates for two decades now and almost all those reading this have either an account there now or had one in the past. I myself have one, and post there regularly, as do many other VNN members.

In fact, the connection even extends to mutual moderators, two of which moderate both on this forum and also over on Stormfront. But with the good also comes the bad. And that is especially true with Stormfront’s army of moderators, of which everyone has both their favorite – and their worst. Some SF mods are fair and balanced, while others clearly and repeatedly prove that they do not belong in such a position, as they abuse their power to wrongly censor, impose infractions, or outright ban members without just cause.

And once they ban you, there is no court of appeal – which is a major flaw in Don Black’s forum, as it has banned tens of thousands of loyal Stormfront members, many who had participated on the board for one, five, ten or more years – only to be ruthlessly terminated – often without any explanation whatsoever. The typical response from SF mods is that all those banned “deserved it”. Every single one. Tens of thousands, in fact. All guilty. No exceptions. And if you don’t like that answer? You’re banned.

Now, some may believe that all forums are run in this manner, ranging from botany forums to motorcycle forums to literature forums to....well, white nationalist forums. But you’d be wrong. Many forums have special sub-forums where banned members can present their case – their “defense”, you might say. So why not Stormfront? Some say it’s because Stormfront would then have to justify why they banned a popular member and that....maybe....they couldn’t easily do that. That if they were put on the spot it might reveal that a moderator banned someone simply out of vindictiveness, and not because of any broken rules.

But what do you think? Are Stormfront moderators invariably fair in meting out justice? Or, rather, are some fair but others are not? As a guide to the reader, here is a list of Stormfront’s current moderators, minus two mods who also moderate here on VNN.

1. Baneblade
2. Bill Noble
3. Caradoc
4. Dux90
5. Ex-Detroiter
6. Germaner
7. Haman
8. Ian Smith
9. Jewfish
10. Long County Rebel
11. Merlin
12. Olympus
13. Paul Bunyan
14. Poison
15. Pork Chops and Applesauce
16. Ringelnater
17. SBWPWW
18. Unermüdlich
19. vikingcelt
20. Vry Burgher
21. war2war
