All websites are fascist, this one no more than any other.
An Iron fist is needed to maintain such a facist site as this.

Stereotypes? Puh-lease. You're lucky you don't get knocked out of here for your constant trolling. It's outrageous.
A website needs to be run as a dictatorship. Sorry, but that's how it works. You can't please everybody, and trying to, especially on the internet, leads to disaster. Ralle is the boss, this is a free service, you can choose to stop using this website at any time you like. We have no right to do anything you demand of us, because, we do this out of our time. We don't get paid. Show a little respect.
So either deal with it or leave, please. Nobody will miss you.
I doubt that they would. Infact, I assume it would be the opposite.
No, you don't need to run a complete dictatorship. You don't have to completely ignore every single bit of criticism heading you way because YOU think you're doing it right, regardless of other peoples' opinions and views upon your actions.
Sure, you can, but then you get a community that doesn't like you. Sure, they can leave, but where does that leave them, as well as yourself? Essentially where you were when you just started out. Thus, unless the time you spend here here is a completely unfun, unfair experience, you usually don't leave unless you're banned.
Example: WILL.
Doesn't make controlling opinions or criticism right. <.<
I don't think this website intends to try and censor people. You're free to offer up your opinion (Like we see every other day in Site Discussion), but that doesn't mean we have to listen to you.
The only time we'll ever try to censor your opinion is if it goes into the realm of hatespeech/libel/breaks the rules, etc.
And no, really people come in and out all the time. The majority of people leave this site because they're moving on in life, actually. I've seen thousands of users come and go, I'd know. In fact I'll be doing the same in a few weeks time.
WILL was asking to be banned. I don't know the circumstances around his original ban that got him so upset, but he reacted in completely the wrong way, just like HT, just like HINDY, just like everybody.
Chat moderation, on the other hand, does need some better guidelines.
Sure does, but aslong as its only a kick or such, it doesn't take more than a click to rejoin.
Does it?the site needs to maintain a userbase
So either deal with it or leave, please. Nobody will miss you.
Well, it's hard to fulfill the goal of being a large warcraft modding community wtihout being... well, a large warcraft modding community.Does it?
Yes, but in this case the part of the "large" they're banning also happens to generally fall into the "good."
Because a majority of members who use this site should be declared legally retarded?And why would our opinions ever go into the ream of hatespeach/libel/breaks the rules?
Like hell we don't. We listen, we just don't care most of the time. In your words "listening and not caring =/= not listening".BECAUSE NOBODY LISTENS TO US, THAT'S WHY. I do not understand why the staff does not get this.
I have never seen a member banned for ONE offense of trolling or flaming. As far as I know, members are given like, what, 2 chances?The staff bans people for the same stuff they do. Is this fair? No. Does the staff care? No. So what do we do? We get angry. We start trolling, we start insulting, and then the staff acts like we're the worse people, and bans us.
I've noticed the only people who actually care are the people who have wooden-brain disease.Why the hell do you think everyone is so mad, and says the moderation sucks around here?
No they don't! In fact, have you noticed how many staff members actually reply?Almost single staff member ignores those posts when they show up.
What? No...The only one that listens is Void.
Because no one ever provides proof.Even if there's proof of power-abuse, or something similar, the staff STILL do not listen.
Because no one here has seen your proof and your proof is probably stupid anyway. Stupid user = Stupid proof.I have PROVED that someone here was power-abusing, but did they listen? Nah. They're the staff. They do what they want.
I myself have moved on and I rarely find myself coming back.(edit) Also, for the people that say they're moving on to real life...I think they could still visit this place, easily.
No, and not because of the moderation. It's because the fact that the user base is made up of hundreds of idiots who don't even speak English.But the real question is: Do they want to?
What? No...
Because no one ever provides proof. Because no one here has seen your proof and your proof is probably stupid anyway. Stupid user = Stupid proof.
