Hello,
Some members may feel that SodaHead is the site of an epic battle between left and right, where the only important content is political content from the left and right, and every action taken by SodaHead is influenced by some perceived politlcal "bias" that favors one political party over the other.
When we make decisions about changes to the site, or decisions on what to feature on the rotating "carousel" pages, politics doesn't enter the picture. Why would we want to alienate an entire political party and drive them away from the site? That wouldn't be good for our traffic.
The questions you are referring to have worked it's way to the 'Hot' section because of an alorithm that allows fresh/active stories with the most raves, comments, votes, replies, etc. Users voted them to the top -- SodaHead has no control over this. Questions with time stamps of 3-4 days older may not appear on the first page of the Hot section. Content that violates the Code of Conduct may be removed by SodaHead.
As always, please continue to produce good content and share your views with everyone -- there's room here for everyone's opinion, as long as we respect each other.

As is the usual case, as of 8:15pm, all the politically-related questions on Page 1 of the HOT list were submitted by Conservatives.

Why does the Sodahead Staff hate Liberals?
In fact two of the questions are concerning the same topic.

Why does the Sodahead Staff hate Liberals?
Over the weekend, I had submitted a blog which had more responses than the top question on Page 1 of the HOT list. As the night went on, and I continued to get more responses, my question was moved from Page 2, to page 4. The next time I looked for it, it was on Page 12. In 19 hours, it had more activity than the Number 1 Question on Page 1 of the HOT list, which was going into it's second day and receiving little activity.
Why does the Sodahead Staff hate Liberals?
My blog has over 900 opinions, but never got the exposure that other questions with less activity received. I had to go to other questions and post the link to my question; that's how I got so many responses.
So I ask, why does the Sodahead staff hate Liberals? Do they want us to leave? Is there any shame, at all, in Sodahead staff's obvious attempt to control the agenda on what is described as:
" ... the premier opinion-based community where visitors discover,
debate, and discuss today's hottest issues. They share their unique
views on breaking news, hot topics and controversial issues and a
diverse panel of staff writers provide original and exclusive content
daily.
With that many angles, the discussions on SodaHead will open your eyes
to a panoramic view of your world that you won't get anywhere else,
allowing you to see the big picture and discuss it."
Sodahead is not being honest with the public. There is only one angle that is promoted on Sodahead, the agenda of Conservatives.

I want to know why it is that a liberal hater can boot me off their thread and the SH staff can't do a thing about it.
I don't think that anybody should be allowed to block someone else unless you talk to someone on SH staff and prove your point. I realize that there are stalkers and people need to be careful. I also think that you should be given the chance to clean up your post before SH throws you off permanently. As some conservatives i have known.
I still see the same liberal douche bags day in and day out, How come they do not get thrown out?
I do have to ask why you care? I'd like a real answer. I can honestly say I've never even looked to see what they were. I also don't care about where I am on the leaderboard or any of that non-sense. Why are you here, for the game or the fame?
Just a thought.
