Tauto: It's called ABUSE but the new moderator will not answer my question about it.Must be too hard.
Cool it dude. It's his first day and it's late at night in Poland. Give him time and if he forgets then remind him. Posts are bound to get lost as he has loads of people talking at him right now.

ZFR: Yes, simple downposting doesn't delete a post. You have to click "Report as spam" as well. This doesn't change the fact that it's a serious issue. Forget Tauto, it's the fact that anyone can delelte any post that is scary.

SirPrimalform: Yeah. Really the report as spam thing should just flag something up for a blue to review. That way things wouldn't get deleted for no reason, and misuse of the report button could actually be seen and reprimanded if necessary.
Sure,fables said once that Gog would keep an eye on spam and deleting,But it never happened.

MarkoH01: Another issue here in the GOG forum sometimes is the use of extremely bad language (I am talking about racist insults and such) which sometimes do go unpunished
Hmmm.... I think there's more going on behind the scenes. People get warnings or even bans and threads got deleted. And the hands-off approach to let people show what assholes they actually are (while deleting the worst stuff) is IMO not bad.

No one really knows what happened to fables... probably swallowed by the forum or something.

Yes it happens but in most cases much too late. GOG imo was simply missing manpower - you know, a community manager ... and this should be the past now. :)

kohlrak: The post turned into a small debate involving 5 factions:
6. People in a cosy bar enjoying themselves when people on the neighbouring table suddenly started screaming at each other and wanted them gone, so they could continue enjoying their drinks.

tinyE: If it's not I'm outta here!
It's not available in my country ;-(

Where do I go now?

Rick Astley is not available in Germany?

You embraced David Hasselhoff but you reject Astley!?

What the hell is wrong with you people!? :P

Linko90: In the future, if a multiple page thread is heading towards deletion, it will be locked and a reason stated.
Like before...

Linko90: Then it will be deleted.
I hope only in extreme circumstances. Or on request (which is always fine with me, sometimes you're just not yourself).

Rick Astley is probably too violent for Germans :-/

sanscript: I've yet to see any real proof of racism and homophobia on this forum... that only exists in their own mind only.

EDIT: Oh, I forgot sexism... also non-existent.
avatar
dtgreene: I encountered sexism in the recent topic about fantasy.

Also, I have encountered transphobia in another topic (the one about threads GOG likes to delete); given that the topic doesn't really have useful discussion going on, maybe it should be locked?
Not sexism per say, his opinions were too masculine for your tastes. Granted he was violently addressing them , but not sexist.

Well after my post against your opinion (just against it, nothing slender or foul, even less harsh then other posts after it),
got down-voted by "your fans", your wish was granted and that thread that did have quite a useful discussion - just not on your terms and not to your liking as it wasn't agreeing with you - had been removed. what an utter surprise

BlackThorny: ...his opinions were too masculine for your tastes.
If we're talking about the same person I reject the term "masculine" for his opinions. They were just dumb. That would actually be an insult to all males.

richlind33: There are no cliques on this forum, and anyone who disagrees must be permabanned!

tinyE: There are none.
I don't care what some people say.

My friends hate me just as much as the people who hate me do and my fan club meets in a phone booth*. :P

*anyone born after 2000, Google it.
I was born 20 years earlier, still googled it, didn't find anything relevant :/

Well he used masculinity as an excuse for his dumb opinions, as I'm a feminist myself, I can't grasp if this is logical or not :)

I'm not familiar with the incident, but generally speaking I think we should judge posts on whether they violate the rules or not, as opposed to whether we think they are dumb or not. Mostly because we'll never all agree on what's smart/dumb, good/evil, etc. We should have clear rules that cannot be interpreted in multiple ways. Then we should stick to these rules. And, of course, it should be the moderator's prerogative to delete those who violate the rules. It should never be up to the local holier-than-thou-vigilante-club.
