Lets says OT is a government. What type of government system is it?

Lets just say for fun OT is a government. Based upon what users can do and say what type of government is OT holding? A Republic form? A Democratic form? A Socialist form? A Communist form? A Democratic Republic form? Or perhaps we're all under the ruling of a king? Choose what government OT holds.

I can't see any options in the poll.

Well, it's definetely democratic. And considering most people here are american probably not communist :P

EDIT: Oh wait, you mean what type of government OT itself HAS? Oh in that case it's an horrible case of a dictatorship with harsh censorship laws.

we have rule of law(Board rules), so I would say a dictatorship... OT users don't get to vote on anything, and Mods and Administrators enforce the laws created by them to govern the board...

This is not a knock on the Mods BTW, merely my observation...

Most would probably push for a liberal socialist party.

Ugalde-

you could even equate their punishments with extreme police action... the Mods messed me up(took points, lowering my level), sent me to prision(suspension), or took me outside and shot me(banhammer)...

Again, not complaining... I have said many times that the Mods do a good job keeping OT on track... not being a hater at all...

A fail one, that's for sure. But seriously.... I'd say a very oppressive communist government, with the hardcore censorship and what-not.LiftedHeadshot

I don't see what's so commmunist about OT.

Notice the need to defend the powers that be.

[QUOTE="Ugalde-"] Yupp. We get no voting on rules or the people that enforce them. There are rules and if we don't follow them we get punished with no chance to defend ourselves. Not a big deal though I think the mods do a good job. I have never been modded.Cataclism

Well, attacking the Mods is against the rules, and I want to be clear that even though I am comparing them to a dictatorship, I am not hating on them... it just compares nicely to a totalitarian government...

Tribal/Local government only, with no monetary system. Just trade.

It's a socialist government. There are rules that are inforced in the comunity, and as far as I know we don't get to vote for mods or the laws they inforce. Not a big deal though, as we have great mods and as long as you don't post porn, you should be all right.

Turn that frown upside down. Kind of.

Fascist. CBS is Fuhrer. Mods are the SS/Gestapo.:P

Actually maybe that is pretty harsh, but it is kind of like that.
