Can you please cite for me amply cases of where Trump is being promoted such that this is a safe zone? Just as important, have these posts been reported and not acted upon?
And it has mostly been done by the very sort of people who are the first to accuse others of driving people away.
The accusations are against the guidelines, they should be reported.
2) Treat others with respect.
Do not make accusations, declarations on others' character, question their motives, be judgmental, assign them to a group or make any other negative personal commentary of members.

But if half this site is people spamming Trump,
Please define "spamming"; because the certainly aren't openly promoting. Again, yes, there are some micro-promotions being done and some is allowed if there is a larger educational value to the topic.
and screaming 'Losertarians!'
People have been using that here sine 2007, it's nothing new. Do you think we should ban that? Filter it out? Ban anyone who says something bad about the LP? What do you suggest as a solution. I agree I am not a fan of such name calling of groups but it has been allowed since day one. There has been some consideration to end it, but that has problems too because then we have to come up with lists of "approved" name and "not approved" name. None-the-less, this goes against our Community Values:

As a community:
* We value an understanding that name-calling of any person or group proves nothing and has no worthy intellectual foundation.

and bleating about how independent parties are nothing but the places Wasted Votes accumulate, they will take one look and go someplace useful.
You'll get those arguments everywhere, but they are not allowed in our Liberty Campaigns forums, flag them if you seem them. From the guidelines:
6) Do not disrupt Mission-supporting activism efforts.
The following elements are off-topic within these forums:
* Attempts to undermine the political party of the individual / campaign.
From what I can see, the guidelines are all in place to provide a functional framework. The staff is responding to every report as timely as possible. People are being education on the guidelines when they break them, and if they keep repeating they will be banned. The staff just can't read every post so members flagging guideline violations plays an important role.
Thanks.
