I don't see what's with the scale, something either is fascist or it isn't.
It's like saying you're a little bit dead or a little bit suicidal, you either are or you aren't.

In the most literal sense, I really have to agree. We have rules set by the highest points of authority here, but we also do try to be fair by listening to the members to some extent. Otherwise, this place would become very unpopular, and look at how many new members we have flowing in every day. :)

Without the system we have, I think this place would be much more chaotic and such is probably the reason I've seen that other forums are loaded with so much crap--lazy staff and lack of rule enforcement.

if the forum is a fascist state, then every single one of you are fascists too. how is this forum any different than what goes on in your own homes? it doesn't matter if it is your home or if you're just living with your parents (and have a room). you invite your friends over to your house to have some fun. they are themselves and you all have a good time, but in the end there are some rules; rules you make because it is your house. if your guests act stupidly or break the rules, you ask them to leave.
it is funny to see how holy people can be when it comes an online community when, in fact, it's the same which counts as in ones own home.

I don't think GF is fascist after all. And I agree with Majic.

WE NEED RULES!
What about the FAQ? There are basic rules in it.

Hmm. I said 3/10, because while it is generally happy and flowery and such, but there isn't the problem of hippy-inspired democracy totally permeating the scene. Which isn't a bad thing.

What?

GF suffers from the human condition, being as it is run by humans. Therefore, the degree of strictness varies from moderator to moderator. Some are questionably liberal, some are questionably strict, and the rest lean towards one of those two extremes at times but generally maintain a balance. Moderators by definition are supposed to be unbiased, not allowing their personal opinions to sway their judgements, but such a moderator doesn't exist. Because humans are imperfect. So are you, so you shouldn't hold it against them.

The forum generally speaking goes through phases; sometimes it is strict, sometimes it is not so strict. There was once a time when General Yib-Yab (Off Topic) was a place to have a laugh, almost a secondary spam forum. Now it is more strict. It will probably change again in the future. The same with the Pub, and all other forums. It is impossible to give a definitive rating.
