SirPrimalform: Freedom of speech does not apply to a private forum.
It never ceases to amaze me how - without fail - self-proclaimed lefties will suddenly turn into dyed-in-the-wool capitalists when it comes to defending the silencing of anyone remotely to the right of their own bolshevist gospel.

SirPrimalform: Freedom of speech does not apply to a private forum. You're always free to say what you want, you just might be asked to go elsewhere to say it.
That is not a violation of your freedom of speech, nor is it censorship.
Could not have said it better myself. GOG is under no obligation to listen to anyone's drivel. That being said, GOG is generally more tolerant of all viewpoints here than other websites. Even disagreeable ones. So feel free to test your bounds here. You may be welcomed by some. There are those who will curb your enthusiasm though.

CordisDia: Few weeks ago,i was suspended on steam general forum because i said that one of my ancestors participated in battle of Vienna against Otoman empire ...
Unfortunetly for me, in someone's imaginary point of view - my words were ''disrespectful'' , no matter i said historical fact ...
I have also been banned when i said Julian Assange,Edward Snowden and Donald Trump are heroes of modern era ...There were a lot of other examples like these, i can wrote whole bible here ...

I'm pretty new to GOG, i will buy Cyberpunk here, so im curious - can i expect same level of censorship and crimes against freedom of speech as i witnessed on steam forums ?? Forums there are full of whiny liberalistic snowflakes ,and you can be marked as nationalist,racist,xenophob,nazi,fascist for anything and everything you said ...
Is it the same situation here ?
If you don't appreciate why Assange and Trump can't both be considered heroes by the same standard, you probably shouldn't be overly concerned about free speech. o.O

firstpastthepost: Read the forum rules. Everything you're complaining about is explicitly not allowed to be discussed. There is a strict ban on discussing politics... which isn't necessarily a bad thing. If Gog wants to disallow certain discussion on their forum that's their prerogative.

DadJoke007: I wouldn't call it that strict to be honest.

To anrwer OP, there are tons of different platforms to discuss politics on. I don't understand why gaming forums needs to be another place for "fking snowflake libtarts!" "trump voters are morons" and so on, it's tiring enough on every other social platform in existence.
If we're perfectly honest, that doesn't constitute discussion, much less political discussion. ;p

I'd say he was a bona fide social justice warrior. The "real deal", if you will. And I have a sneaking suspicion that he didn't think very much of religion. ;p

Indeed, despite GOG's rules they are remarkably loose in their application of them. However (as demonstrated by the low rating of the OP), quite often the userbase will make it known when you're making yourself a nuisance.
