The leftie feminist moderators censor lots of opposing viewpoints on a wide variety of subjects

It may be interesting to read, but unless you're famous, if you spend hours contributing content and challenging other people's views, and you'll find yourself censored into oblivion.

I got banned for criticising Third Wave Feminism, but they censor more than that, such as content for Trump and criticising Islam. When you get banned they don't have to leave your content online with a notice on your profile saying you're banned. They can delete all your content by falsely flagging you as a fake name which deletes all your content. When you get banned a moderator will find something you wrote weeks or months agn and pretend it broke the rules when it never did.

Another thing the staff do is read your private messages and use your answers and messages to plagiarise your answers into a book to be sold on Amazon under the pseudonym Richard Templar.

They used to list all the deleted answers under a topic/category called Needs Attention, but now they made the category hidden. Lots of popular users left Quora years ago to protest then deleted or deactivated their accounts. It's a rubbish place to put your answers. Good people, bad moderators.

They are nothing but bullys. They delete your comments if your not a admin, they have nude pics on there from admins, but if we were to do that we wouldnt be able to. Alot of pedophiles are on there. Alot of little kids. Alot of sexuality explicit stuff.and what you say dont matter it gets deleted. If a admin is wrong and you disagree you get deleted.if you say something nice and they dont like it you get deleted. Alot of false information on there. I pusonly think no 10 yr old should be on there. With what goes on. Not cool! I wanted to help people but because I'm not a top writer or a admin or moderator most my stuff gets deleted or I violated quora policy with one of there $#*!ed ideas. If a admin says the same thing as you do on another topic yours gets deleted. I wasted alot of time on there. I'll be deleting my stuff after seeing they didnt take a nude admin down but deleted my comment about the nude admin. Thank you

Really? It's a blog that moderators collapse great answers, because they don't write a 4 page report on a question stating "do you like the police in your city?) That is dumb. If you put "yes, very much", not enough. The site wants you to use every big words in a four page report, on the subject. Utilizing every means possible to overkill a basic question, by using the biggest words possible to sound like a brilliant bull$#*!ter. It's very biased. Also, this is expected even if "how can I make my girls like me again? Mostly, you don't know if it's a boy, man, or girl. Which dictates your answer, wouldn't you think? There are some great writers there. But, there are some morons, who are high status, that can get away with the dumbest answers. It's a site that is extremely left wing. If you aren't looking for the best answers, but want to see a lot of people wielding huge words so they can get the illusion that they are gurus, go there. Narcissistic city. And the moderators, think they are the most important people in the world, with ten or twenty minions that they love. Quite disappointing.

People said the site has left-leaning biased but since I'm not into politics I can't comment on that. What I can tell you Quora is indeed a terribly biased website when it comes to handling disputes. The moderation is so terrible, I am not even sure you can call it that. I've read somewhere the moderation in Quora is like empowered trolling and honestly I don't think I can argue with that because it is true. You can do no wrong and get the shorter end of the moderation stick and someone who's clearly abusive towards you can get away with bullying you or other users and doxxing their profile to ruin it for them and receive totally no punishment.

Bullying, doxxing and witch hunting is very common but since the site hide some stats like downvotes, it might be difficult to tell if that's being done at all if you are a new comer. But it's not hard to see that vibe if you use the site regularly. I think they could do well if they use new upvote/downvote system like the one Reddit has instead of what they have now. But I don't think they will ever do it and I definitely know why. Doing so will spell disaster to the site's overall credibility because then everyone can see the irregularities being hidden all these times.

Fake and fraud
August 19, 2021

I got a call on my phone regarding a freelance job from quick jobs. They offered a job in which i have to complete ******* captcha in 8days for this they are paying 22k and for this they conduct a video interview and ask name address and phone number mentioned in resume. And after this they manipulate you with fake guidance and also they make a paper and have to singned it and while signing they will be on call continuously disturbing you to sing in asap and not making you to read it and gave you a wbsite, with id password where you have to complete your work and submit it. But they show the wrong readings. And now they are harassing me to pay 5400rs for not completing the work. But before joing they told me if i was unable to complet the work they will cut my salary in which i was ok. But now they are blackmailing me to pay 5400rs. Dont ever take this calls and immediately complain about these calls.

Quora is toxic
June 16, 2022

The site is massively toxic. Users answer questions rudely. Most of the time users don't actually give you useful answers. The answers people recieve mostly are people trying to make your question seem bad which is annoying. The commenters are insane too. Some users go out of their way to attack someone over a answer. They go as far as commenting on your profile too. You get reported over someone being sensitive over comments. The communities are very insane. I don't advise anyone to join the spaces on quora.
For example the anime community of quora is horrible. You can't have a different opinion from others. They can't take criticism. And they are very sensitive about anime related topics. Some guy got offended by what I said about dragonball he screenshotted my answer and came to my profile talking about my answer. That's how far people go on quora. There are crazy users who are racist, delusional people, and people who pick fights.
Quora is a terrible site that isn't worth your time.

Full of fakes profiles and black supremacists like Fanciose Marie and related individuals and groups that spread false science, history and racist anti Semetic and European propaganda. Should be reported to FBI and NSA as extremist website full of domestic terrorists

Biased and Racist
April 2, 2022

Quora is unfortunately not a Q and A site as much as it claims - I am currently banned for 'hate speech' because I posted two screenshots of mainstream articles (Yossef diary was even made into a movie) by Teddy Katz and Yossef Nachmani which describe eye witness accounts of Jewish massecres against Palestinian villagers.

I recently reported a Quora space in which far right racists were posting pictures of serious assaults and injuries inflicted on white people and blaming these attacks on African Americans.

After performing reverse image searches every claimed victim turned out to be victims of neighbours, domestic violence and robbery, none of which occurred in the US and none of which were attributed to African Americans.

This space on Quora is instigating hatred against African Americans based on lies and misinformation and could potentially lead to violence against innocent people but Quora took no apparent action instead preferring to ban me for posting some accepted history.

Make of that what you will. Look elsewhere imo.

Denier of free speech
April 25, 2020

Right wing rubber stampers. For providing over 50k views and a fair number of questions, my account shows less than USD $3. You decide if it's worth it.
