Hey guys! I thought it would be a good idea to introduce myself to you all as I’ll be seeing you around a lot! I’m the newest member of the GOG.com community team. As you’d expect, that means you’ll be seeing me around the forums on a daily basis!

First thing I’d like to say is do not be afraid to approach me, we’re all here due to a shared love of video games, myself included. As members of the community, I’m keen to hear your input on the current state of the forums. What can be improved, what should be removed, ideas for the future. This place is yours just as much as it is ours, only together can it flourish!

A little about myself -

I’m originally from ’sunny’ England and grew up on a steady diet of Half-Life mods and Blizzard games. I have a passion for older titles, forgotten gems and cult classics, which led me to GOG.com in the first place! Aside from video games, I have a soft spot for trashy horror and action films no one ever rented at the VHS store.

I look forward to talking to you all! If you have any questions, or as mentioned before, suggestions, feel free to hit me up!

Fair enough. Can we get some clarity on what is and is not OK for users to say involving politics as well as towards each other in the form of personal attacks?

Sorry for being direct, but you could not have come at a more interesting time.

EDIT: Forgive my autism(-spectrum). Hello.

If a very tall person stands on tram tracks and holds the electrical wires with his hands, will he start moving forward like a tram?

Well since you ask, what's being done to ensure GoG follows their own User Agreement, specifically section 20 about dispute resolution? Currently you have to open a support ticket to get a staff member to pay attention to GoG legal inbox when you raise the issue about support tickets not getting resolved.

What's being done about accessibility issues with the forum layout? For those of us with vision issues, the fix currently is to turn off css here in the forums. Unfortunately the thread title block at the top of each thread is black text on a solid black background. This has been reported a few times but with no acknowledgement.

What's being done with the unsecure New Post popup?

Hey Kohlrak

Political chat can be a rather divisive topic no matter what corner of the internet you find yourself. All that is required is some basic manners, respect, and a calm head. The topic will naturally arise from time to time, this we understand, but please remain respectful.

As for personal attacks. This is again a topic we'd ask you to apply respect and common decency towards. Treat the forums in the same way you'd treat meeting a friend or talking to a colleague. If disagreements turn nasty, I will step in to calm things down. Civilised conversation is encouraged, we're all here through a shared passion, let's not forget this!

Hope that clears things up for you!

It's good to see a new community manager. Welcome to GOG and I hope you'll like your new job! :)

About the current state of the forum and what we wish for: Six of us visited GOG HQ last september and we gave them a lot of feedback and ideas for improvements and new features. Make sure that they give you the notes.
Hello!
Are you the new community manager, by chance?
If so, prepare your armor, shield and.. hammer :P

Well, that depends if they're wearing rubber-soled shoes.

It does. Thank you. May i then redirect your attention to the most recently placed ticking time bomb?

You've been dropped right into normandy at the last day of the battle.
