Tarm: Hm. Which country is GOG based in legaly? I guess it would be that countrys and if it's in EU its laws too.
gamesfreak64: Greece or somewehre near i assume........
if you lookup gog and project red, you get links.
As far as i know the founders of gog are all in EU countries unless they moved.
I read something about: french, polish, english/german i dont know for sure.
wiki also has info about gog and project red.
I guess I'll play it safe then and go by Swedish and EU law.
catpower1980: Like Thomq pointed out, I'm not interested into the "why" it got deleted but "who" actually deleted it as I remember that it was still up for a few days (that's why Micktiegs's message made me check it back). If a moderator decided to delete it, than a chat notification would have clarified things. If it got deleted due to to the automation system, then well.... let's say the forum is still as broken as ever ;)
gamesfreak64: Thats easily answered:
I was mod for 9 years and i have deleted many posts: sometimes posts are made that make nosense, they dont have to contain foul language/cussing/swearing or anything else, but they are 'useless' and so these get silently deleted, no ctions taken, only post deleted.
Some posts require a feedback and if and when needed the mod will usally provide them , usually in a email or so.
I dont know how it will run here, in my case we had a team of mods, super mods and admin, and we had a special part to discuss the posts and if needed temp. forum bans or part of forum bans.
If GOG only uses 1 or 2 mods for the entire General Forums then they will have lots of work to do, our community was small about 300 unique accounts (IP)but in total it reached 1200 or more (multiaccounts were allowed inc ase of shared (famlily) internet, they needed to use a unique existing email adress, no temperorily emails but existing)
I've also been a mod on a couple of places and this is exactly why I answered catpower1980 the way I did. The reason I was so blunt was to avoid confusion, discussions and arguments before this have been tested for a while so members and moderators can settle in.
Tarm: Suck it up and learn to live with the new system for a while. If you have issues about it after say two months then start a suggestion thread how to IMPROVE (In bold style. Improve. Not how it doesn't work. Improve.) upon the rules.
Moderators are final. They delete a post it's gone. They decided it needed to be gone. It's their job to do stuff like this. Learn this now and then think about my above point.

IF the forum was broken that way moderators would see it immediately. It's being "watched" much more now and stuff like that gets picked up a lot more when there are active moderators.
If something will be done about it? Well that's another matter. :P
