Are you using Chrome?
If so, there's this fascinating little function that consists of holding down control and pressing the "+" key.

Definitely needs more categories. One totally dedicated for politics and alex jones discussion, so I don't have to read them (not that I do).
Also another one for DRM discussion.
(Ps. These were jokes.)

There's already the "political" sections, they're a handful of 3-4 specific threads (provided a thread doesn't derail into politics).

Yes it is, because they tend to lead to flaming and such and there are many other forums for those sort of things. I'm not censoring anyone's opinions, but it's better in a category so you know exactly what to expect when you go in. It was something I said in jest, it really doesn't matter I can ignore those threads. I'm happy with the forum the way it is really, there's a nice group of people here. Don't take what I said seriously.

Yet you were fairly specific on the exact topics you want censored.
I could list many other things that offend other people that don't offend you but they don't act like children and throw fit.
Typically the "flame war" starts by someone that doesn't agree with the topic so instead of just stating their opinion they go on rampage attacking people in such topic.
Which is example of how I first met dtgreen when she went in gamergate thread when she is obvious feminist to attack others. Followed by people such as Zeogold and TinyE which are extremely liberal feeling that it was acceptable to troll instead of let others have their own opinion.
People do not typically see it as censorship till it occurs to their own opinion.

Man. I didn't know my fencesitting was THIS powerful!
If you're going to accuse me, at least be accurate. Now, if I recall, you said you were going to ruin my academic career by proving that I cheated in a computer class, right?

What is the community manager capable of?
What powers SHOULD the community manager have?
How should the issue of alt accounts be dealt with?
How should the issue of rep be dealt with?
How should the search function be fixed?
Not sure if much's (or just anything) gonna change yet...
2. Don't think that the "community" has a say in this, GoG / CDPR does.
But as what they SHOULD do:
- Handle scammer problem (high / top priority)
- ban spambots (and no, not tinyE, but those advertising Viagra and shit) and people posting links to malware and other illegal content (mainly piracy and cracks) (high priority)
- Revoke posting privileges for the worst known trolls (tauto, Regals, dtgreene, Kletus), first temporaily, then possibly permanently if still un-cooperative. (Medium)
- Refrain from "over-moderating", as in tone-policing or playing the PC Patrol, as this place, while unmoderated for the longest time, is still far more civilized than alot of the rest of the Internet, if you disregard above mentioned trolls and political threads (High)
- Add a "containment subforum" for political discussions (+ possibly other "controversial" stuff, which would basically be a "Enter at your own risk"-area), as they always turn into a cesspit of cancer. (Low)
- Have some active Forum presence (as in, not just community manager in-name only *cough* Konrad *cough* )
3. Not sure about this one... maybe check for accounts with no games in them, having existed for X amount of time, and remove those first (as I doubt there is any real person having a 0 games account, given that GoG has a handful of free games). Would be a first step.
4. Just remove it all together, it has a become a running gag now that rep means nothing on GoG (thanks to in no small amount to both NES and his particular alt Swatkat)
5. Once rep is removed, maybe GoG could revert to the old search function, as it could no longer be abused for de-rep witchhunts.
