RE: Paygating -- as far as I know, this was something we wanted to stay away from so as not to discourage people that'd sign up to post asking if a game is still any good, or to look for recommendations. As someone said in the thread earlier, a paygate makes things complicated, kind of like signing up for sites that require a ton of data or a certain action - and it might still not stop scammers, since maybe $5 is how much the chance to troll people online is worth to some. However, I've passed the topic on to be discussed by those that have a better understanding of how such a system would impact you guys and future GOGers.
[snap]...
Disclaimer- don't really know if that's been said before (probably has haven't read it all - if then please just see this as a bump-)
EDIT: oh and if the scammer has to pay $5 to gog for every alt he creates to troll around on the forum, that's a huge new income for gog and makes the scammer poor pretty soon :D I could live with that
