[Mac Daddy]

Yup just a simple question in a simple experiment. Please try to answer without spamming or flaming the shit out of this thread thanks.

What do you mean?

Do you mean the leadership? The moderators? The members? The system?

[Mac Daddy]

leadership is a good way to put it. Generally targeting the staff, not all of them tho, there are some fine members of staff on these boards.

[azzeruk]

the only crime of this board is everyone can speak their mind (and that isnt a crime at all)

[Mast3rofPuppets]

Is this the "rebel against the GF staff" week or something?

I don't understand your point Mac.

"The State not only is authority which governs and molds individual wills with laws and values of spiritual life, but it is also power which makes its will prevail abroad.... For the Fascist, everything is within the State and... neither individuals nor groups are outside the State.... For Fascism, the State is an absolute, before which individuals or groups are only relative...."

Going by that statement I would say it is somewhat fascistic, but not as much as some people make it out to be. This is not a country, this is a message-board, a forum. It needs tight rules because of the high degree of idiots on the internet. Therefor it would be in the interest of most people to have a select group of people control everything. We need no trias politica here, that's much to complicated and time consuming. Gamingforums is not out to 'mold people into their will', it's only trying to make this a good place to discuss things with other people, which often means deleting posts and threads. I'll give it a 4.

My point. Well my point is not being able to freely express certain topics or talk about certain members just because they hold a higher rank than you.

But it's not about what i think, im asking what you think.

[Dreadnought[DK]]

people always choose the negative word fascism instead of the more neutral 'oligarchy'. try that for a change.

not being able to freely express certain topics or talk about certain members just because they hold a higher rank than you.

of course we limit 'free speech'. it is our right to do so and also necessary due to the anonymity of the internet and number of idiots frequenting the forums. you can also talk about 'certain members' assuming you don't make disparaging remarks, insult or attack them.

if people act mature they'll be treat as adults, if they act immature, they'll be treat like children.
