I generally view gangs as a positive RP experience.
When playing a general crew: how gangs interact with you is always interesting. For example, when a gang member asks to see my PDA or spray my workspace, I tend to demand bribes. And let the RP build from there.
While playing Security: Gangs are a LOT of work to deal with. When you have a skilled and effect security team - the problem is manageable. But in shifts where Security is understaffed, or some members undertrained. You FEEL control of the station slipping thru your fingers. Frankly, I can understand why for many that is a upsetting experience in and of itself. But I have thankfully have a relationship with the game where that doesn't bother me too much.
And lastly- as a gang member: As a gang member you can be very open about your status. So you get do to a any X or Y RP but with a large douse of aggression. Starting a catering business? Now you're a catering business that gets violent when they don't pay for the food. Working on the engine today? Let Security know that if they don't meet YOUR needs. The stations power supply might not get ITS needs.
Overall - more positive memories from gang rounds then negative.
