It was a question to the forum to see if they thought there are nazis members here as a moderator said there are known nazis here

I know some hardcore right-wingers but I wouldn't call them nazis.

I’ve only come across one member who had a tendency to bring up neo-nazi talking points, but that member has been banned so I shall say no more.

There may be others I don’t know of, or haven’t noticed posting such material (I don’t read every thread after all).

I suppose just be aware, and if you see anything blatantly nasty in that way report it. :shrug:

Broadly speaking there is a long-running tendency for folks with very robust left-wing opinions to refer to staunch conservatives and reactionaries as “nazis” or “fascists”: using the words as terms of abuse.
Goes back to the era of Stalin, whose regime routinely referred to all its critics and dissenters with those terms regardless of the actual views those critics and dissenters held.

I can’t recall seeing that occur on these forums, although that doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened here.

I think you misread what what was said.

"We do have far-right members on here. They’re not allowed to advocate for Nazism but we do have an agreement that they can use the forums if they stick to the rules."

I could be wrong, but this isn't saying that all the far-right people are supressed nazis.

They're everywhere.  In every shadow, behind every door, inside of every boardroom and dive bar, there are Nazi cabals plotting and planning to take over this country and pollute our precious bodily fluids.  The Nazis have no regard for human life, not even their own.  And for this reason, I want to impress upon you the need for extreme watchfulness.  The enemy may come individually, or he may come in strength.  He may even come in the uniform of our own troops.  Do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk, ice cream?  Ice cream, dammit!  Children's ice cream!  You know when fluoridation began?  1946.  1946, people.  How does that coincide with your post-war Nazi conspiracy theories? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?  Just connect the dots!  A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual, and certainly without any choice.  That's the way your hard-core Nazi works.  We are on the verge of a global transformation.  All we need is the right major crisis, and coronavirus is providing just that.  Do you really believe that behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people?  Forget that!  The man on that throne has orange skin and a dead-squirrel toupe!  We the People are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence -- on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on looters and arsonists by night instead of armies by day.  No matter how paranoid or conspiracy-minded you are, what the government is actually doing is worse than you imagine.  All problems, depressions, wars, disasters, assassinations, all of them were planned, caused, instigated, and implemented by the Great Orange One and his MAGA-hat minions in their attempt to establish themselves as the ruling class, which they have now done, thanks to corrupt politicians who have been bought and paid for.  This is all you need to know about the history of the world for the last four years.  (The foregoing is all satire and sarcasm, by the way.)

It wouldn't be the first time I misunderstood what was being said *shrug*
It didn't help that another member thought the same.
I've never been glad I misunderstood something before.
