Are we, the not-special members, allowed to complain about the government (the moderators) without being proscecuted by the county (rf.net)? Or is this a <I>dick</I>tatorship or monarchy.

I like to think of it more as a Republic without the elections :)

Democracy,no. Why not think of the mods as "Benevolent Despots"?;-)

No, this is not a democracy. Like Hippie said, this is a privately owned site. And the ownership (Carter) can chose to do whatever he wants here. And it's his choice who he has representing his views (Mods) And 98% of the time there isn't a problem because most people know how to handle themselves. The other 2% of the time there are disagreements. But if you have a legitimate complaint, and it's just not a personal problem or an attack on someone else, if you try to contact Carter or Jeff they will help find a resolution.

Hosp hit the nail on the head. No, it's NOT a democracy. It's a privately owned site that the owners would like to see remain a friendly place.
If you have a problem, making cute jokes about "dick"tatorships won't get you anywhere. You're always free to e-mail or IM any moderator privately.
