[QUOTE="Nisarg, post: 1724287, member: 19893"] No, while RPG.net does have that, it also has some clearly delineated "pet systems" that get both more coverage then others (which is merely a function of the demands of the crowd at rpg.net), and more leeway than others.. primary among these is Exalted, but Nobilis and Unknown Armies get a big plus too. Contrary to this are the "whipping-boys", the systems where its the unspoken rule on rpg.net that you can get away with attacking way further than someone can if they attack Exalted or Nobilis. Criticize these two and you'll get attacked back and scolded by mods. But attacks on D20, Hero, or especially Palladium are tolerated to a far deeper level of permisiveness. Part of the reason for this is that the mods dole out discipline based almost exclusively on the volume of complaints they receive. Since Exalted fans are in the majority, they swamp the mods with complaints against someone who is anti-exalted. The result is that there will be swifter discipline against people who criticize certain systems over those who criticize other systems. Enworld has the advantage that its mods seem to be pretty fair about the moderation and don't seem to rely on the same methods of determining disciplinary need, there doesn't seem to be the same biases. However, given Enworlds origins, I think it will be pretty inevitable that no matter what you do, D20 will continue to be the default-favoured system. At least this will result in something more demographically realistic than what you see at Rpg.net, given that in the real world D20 is also the default-favoured system of the majority of the planet's role players.
