I voted a 4. I personally feel that, while some staff are harsher than others to various degrees when it comes to everything from enforcing the rules to shaping how the forums are run, there is generally a good balance of leadership techniques and just enough discipline to be fair to ruly members, while carrying out the appropriate (consindering the number of members) punishments for those who show various forms of disregard for the rules.
If you cant handle that some issues get locked because of assholes who go off topic, flame, spam, or just end up being general retards, then you dont have a high enough mental age to be in the pub.
Stop looking at this bit

I see absolutly no comparison with Gaming Forums and fascism, unless mac daddy unlighten me with this point of view. IMO, he has no idea of what the real fascism is. So I won't vote.

We're all Stalinist nazis... out to oppress you all... which is why you all are on these forums and you are all banned and why you all come here out of your own free will.

I think there is some acceptance here for fascism, which I don't really like. But it's limited and results mainly from not caring about it.
At some points I had a feeling that gf was very fascistic, but after reading pms from some staff here I learnt that this is wrong and I'm sorry for even thinking so badly about them while all they are trying to do is offer us an enjoyable forum.
There are sometimes fascistic users or people who know so little about history that they for some reason agree with fascists. That's where my 4 points come from.
As for the staff being in charge over here, well that is obviously the case. It is their forum, they invest time and work into it so of course they can decide about the rules for this forum. People who don't like this aren't forced to stay here
I didn't see any staff behaving like a nazi yet. They are not biased, unless perhaps against some idiots who ignore the rules. They also don't seem to believe in social-darwinism, antisemitism or nationalism. So calling GF a fascistic system is a bit far-fetched.
wasn't this in the GD when it was started? or did i missed anything
I would say you missed Biggs post...

How can a place where you have the option to come or go be fascist? No one forces you to take part here. You can leave and never come back just as easy as you can come and post. Normally if you dislike the way a place work's, you can turn around and leave. You have that option here too. I don't think this place is fascist at all, but then again I don't really understand what 'fascist' means when you compair it to the way a message board is run. :lol:
