• Facepunch: Dictatorship or Democracy
    114 replies, posted
If an admin could make this a poll that would be great. Throughout the time I've been here at facepunch I've noticed one thing Facepunch seems to be more of a dictatorship than a democracy. Anyone who speaks out against the mods get banned, in fact, I can bet money this thread will get me banned. And now because I've said that, I'll probably get banned just because some mod thinks it's funny. What is this? Without mentioning any names, I think there are a few admins who quite frankly should not be admins! I want to know what you guys, my fellow facepunchers, think about this. Post your responses
It's Garry's forum, he can do whatever the fuck he wants. And you can make your own polls.

It's a democracy for the most part I believe.
Making a thread about Dictatorship and Democracy and adding poll. It's a dictatorship in every other way, we even have our resident Nazi.
:allears:
[QUOTE=Janooba;20709966]Oh shi- I don't see an option[/QUOTE] Scroll way down
It's neither, it's a despotism.
Democracy does NOT WORK online, or anywhere else for that matter, but this is more of an "absolute leadership" than a dictatorship. Theres a reason democracy only stays in parliaments, it's horrible anywhere else.
Garry and Hezzy have main control of the forum, the mods regulate the forums to keep people from doing stupid shit. And they ask us what we think would be an improvement. It's a cooperative effort with figureheads who make shit happen.
It's a monarchy. :haw:
Facepunch is a kritarchy - a government of judges.

Republic since people nominate people to become mods occasionally.
They are despots that toy with us by having us vote in pointless elections.
[QUOTE=Janooba;20709930] :words:[/QUOTE] there are only 2 admins the rest are moderators So according to you neither Hezzy or garry should be admins, eh?
Communism. It's garry's forum. His rules.
I didn't even know that forums could have a form of government...
Well to me it seems that garry doesn't do much at moderating, that's why he has Hezzy. My only problem is that Hezzy would be the last person I would pick to be a lead moderator. All I've seen him do is start pointless threads to ban people who post in them. Like those "POST IN HERE TO GET PERMAB-ANNED" threads. And he just hands out perma's like there's no tomorrow.

Wait. It's a garriocracy.
facepunch is a forum
Garry has a dic[sp]tatorship[/sp]
So what if he bans a shit load of people? It's called an idiot cull. If you're stupid enough to post in a ban me, then you get banned. SIMPLE.

You obviously aren't butthurt

Garry could ban half the forum and not care.
