Ironworks Gaming Forum - View Single Post - What kind of 'government system' do most internet forums resemble?

Forums work well if they are well moderated. It has been said that the ideal form of government would be a benevolent dictatorship. The only problem is keeping them benevolent once they become dictators. This forum is good because the mods are good. I've been on forums with the same kind of rules but with mods who block posts merely because they don't like what is being said and ban people who they don't like. Incidently, why don't the mods ever delete posts? Some of the posts that a 'certain someone' got banned for should really not be there.
