One thing I realized about FP a long time ago, is that the only rule is to use common sense. If anything, I'd make the ban-rules even stricter, which is kinda funny being that I used to hate how people got banned all the time. Mods are a bit inefficient at times, but only one of them annoys me, the others do a fairly good job.
It's more authoritarian if anything, but it's not nearly as strict or "unfair" when I first joined or when I lurked before then.

Actually it's a semi dictatorship / autocracy with a bit of democracy. Garry is the dictator, can do whatever he want. His admins are the governors, but most are professionals choosen by garry himself. It's the autocracy part. Sometimes we may vote for admins in a section, that's democratic.

If you count moderators, it's an oligarchy, but really it's an autocracy.
Moderator harshness used to be ten times worse [highlight]and[/highlight] we had autoban. You know nothing of the FP Dictatorship, boy :clint:
Absolute dictatorship, garry is above every law. Heil Garry!
Hi5 TH89 I don't know why people complain or why they have a problem. They have the choice to not come on here, view anything or reply to anything.

Dictatorship is awesome, fuck democracy, when we're in a democracy, everyone complains about random shit for random reasons, fuck them all in the ass.

There isn't much of a point of a forum being a democracy.
7DeadlySyns is right, a democracy just wouldnt work online, and i dont really care that its a garyocracy, for lack of a better word, just so long as the fourms stay up
It's been said a million times. Facepunch is not a democracy.
