I can only speak for Germany for sure, if you as the guardian bring a minor into a pub that is OK. On his own not.
But the way how I see it happening is that most guardians do not really care, send the kid into the Pub anyway.
And I must admit, no idea with a casino.
No wonder you Greeks ........ :P
Same could be said about Germans :P

Hence I said, if you KNOW that he other user is like a minor.

I do in general agree with your idea of ONLY the affected person shall be able to make this claim.

mmmmm, I'll take the freedom to edit out some stuff then, so here's a partial copy/paste. I guess now you're curious what I deleted :o)

1. Redacted

1.1. Redacted

1.2.Redacted

1.3. Redacted

1.4. Redacted

2. Sometimes there are discussions over the general sorting of forums and topics.

2.1. A portion of people advocates for the general discussion to be split between two sections: "gaming only" and "non-gaming" (and even 3rd one with GOG official annoucements like game releases or website changes). If I remember well, one of the GOG staff said that it wouldn't be done because it would mean splitting up also the other general discussions in foreign languages.

2.2. Alaric made the "Jerkmuter" script (you can search for it on the forum) to hide content from chosen users. It's not a system I'm fond of (for technical and ethical reasons) but I think people would like more that GOG offers the possibility to hide some topics at their discretion.

2.3. Also, from the beginning of the forum, there are problems of duplicate thread subjects due to the general mess of the forum presentation and the ineffective search function. So, aside from 2.1 point, it would be useful to have more sticky threads. Naturally, it requires more presence from the moderation to regulate this. A good in-between solution would be to have "temporary" sticky threads which lasts only a few days when it's around a specific event (like a console release).

3. Naturally, there are all the technical issues that you can follow in the "what did just break" thread. One of the most annoying bug IMO is when posting, the message will randomly show up only hours later. In general, you can bookmark this thread, you'll need it ;)

1 post repping per day per 100 rep. Not 1 post per day.
Similar to the case of only being able to buy a limited number of gift copies of a specific game per day. Not something a user would often run up against.

The spam report? It takes care of nothing. The only person whose posts manage to be removed is Tauto's and even then it mostly happens during his necro sprees, at which point the damage has already been done.

Post in the forum is precisely what I want to prevent them from doing. Otherwise you can go around screaming racist slurs and telling everyone to go kill themselves, get banned, start a new account, and get right back to it.

Phaolo, you know me I think ;)
That would be for afterwards, or? ;)
And yes I hope we can make rep again meaningful!

I had a feeling that they would only hire someone who was from Poland to be the community manager.

I was right.

I think fables is Czech, not Polish. May be mistaken though.
I can think of a few other people who had their posts deleted in the last few days that weren't Tauto. And I do recall at least one user having all their posts removed, but that was from before my joining date.
Oh, and a necroed thread that has the necropost removed will revert back to its place, assuming no other posts are made after the necropost.

And this is the part that I disagree with. I do believe that all users should be allowed to post, at least until the show themselves incapable of doing so properly. Should they show themselves incapable of proper posts, then yes, their posting privileges should be removed.

Maybe, but you can't change how a user acts, if he's an asshole , harasser etc...same user will continue to act in the same way.....

See bold part :P
As I suggested, a political/whatevername in /forums/ in any language, easy(er) to implement.

Duplicate threads, agreed but a lot can be attributed to lazy user behaviour and an unclear definition about expected user behaviour. Part of this discussion as well, me thinks ;)
Do we expect users to open up new threads? Or don't we?
Bad point about reusing old ones, like questions, this problem MIGHT be different from the previous one. (Hello Galaxy ;) )
Hiding topics....shall be personal flavour only, IMHO and as you said there is jerkmuter for it.

EDIT:
Second that!

Just, if you could prevent these forums from becoming a racism, islamophobia, sexism, homophobia, "hate speech" echo chamber (which they have sometimes drifted towards quite spectacularly), it would be nice.

And no, saying that "niggers are criminals", "mexicans are rapists", "jews conspire to control the planet", "greeks are parasites", "transgender people are sick freaks", "muslims are islamists", "germans are nazis", "refugees are terrorists", etc, is NOT made okay by the fact that there is no active present black/muslim/gay/trans/jewish/greek/german/refugee forumers in that thread. It is NOT made okay by the fact that "we seem to just be amongst ourselves anyway".

No one from Swaziland answered the ad.

I see your "world tour" continues :P

I think we have a different view as to what the forum's purpose is.
Since GOG is a store, a user should be able to make an account and use the store and the forum within two minutes. If the user has to pass through multiple hoops before being able to do so, the user is much more likely to skip the whole registration part and ignore GOG, which does mean GOG will lose customers. Considering that the forum users are a minority of the whole users (and they are a vast minority), saying the forum should take priority over the store is not a viable approach.

Edit: Just a number example. Back in 2012, Legend of Grimrock was reported to have sold ~20.000 copies on GOG.com. I don't think I can name 2.000 forum users, let alone 20.000 ones. Not to mention that in the last 4 years, the number of users has risen by quite a bit. I still think the forum users I have encountered, old and new, are no more than 5.000 ones.

You have it backwards. You said it yourself the forum users are the minuscule minority, so how is requiring the forum poster to be an actual customer of the store going to make GOG lose customers?
