Lifthrasil: Ah, Newcastle. Nice town, but I lost a girl there once. Since them I'm not as fond of that place as I was. ;-)
Shit, I had no idea John Constantine has a GOG account.

Hi Linko90. Nice to meet you - welcome to GOG!

Linko90: 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!

I didn't login for a day, and how much has happened here.

Welcome to the community Linko. :)

Linko90: [...]
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!
[...]
I don't know what would fall within your field of work, but those This week on GOG videos and Enigmatic Hints are something I would like to have again. I was not on GOG when those were a feature of the GOG community, so I miss them even more.
Apart from that keep the forum secure and bug-free. I am not that interested in eye candy so the current theme suits me well.

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.
[...]
Is there any possibility of providing some exposure to lesser known old games, through videos or posts on them?


EDIT: also change your forum title to something cool. :)

I'd love to support a community effort to highlight lesser known games, even more so if we have content creators within our community. As for officially, I can take note of the suggestion and feed it through to the relevant teams.

Tauto: (..)
The truth is, you were overdramatizing a bit by the time the story began.. You were and you are part of the community, even if some won't agree with my statement. No hard feelings anyway, everybody's getting excited here occasionally ; )

mike_cesara: Some used actually, especially one scammer account comes to my mind. I won't point out because of.. reasons ; ) Someone else should do that, when the right time come. Let us hope things will be back to normal soon and everything will become clear and concise. Like it was before downovoting story..

kohlrak: I could probably do it, myself, but i'd rather say my arguments and have a logical discussion, rather than sit and wage war. This is why, unlike someone else who has come after me and others before, I didn't try to get private access to this new moderator. I don't want to silence my opponents from keeping me on the straight and narrow line, should i wander from it.
Nah, nothing to worry about. Since Linko90 survived his very first day with us, perhaps he will find the time to get to the bottom of this mess.
Otherwise we're doomed ; )

I'm worried about his access level, in regards to solving this. Does he have access to put a hook on the downvotes so he can see who does it? Does he have the tools to see where the downvoting takes place (assuming it happens on an old post).

I'll say this openly right now. Since it was wild, wild west, here, i started downvoting every post i saw by the user i was pretty sure was downvoting all of my posts. Since the new mod is here, and presumably is looking into the issue, i have no reason to be shooting at someone(s) who was (were) shooting at me from a dark place while i was out in the open. I'll let the moderator handle it from here. The bullseye's now painted on him instead of me, for the time being. Instead, if he wants help, i'll help in any way I can, but my lack of context renders my programming talent useless in helping him shy of giving him vague advice that, unless he is a coder and has access to the code of the site, would make absolutely no sense to him. That, too, is a shame.

I have plenty of other concerns for him, but given the escalation, i think it'd be wiser to hold off on what they are until this forum poising is done, since, frankly, it seems that people who want to use the new mod are trying to snuggle up to the new mod. I would invite him to ignore all emotion present in private chats, as it is inherently biased in the face of someone else who's not using the chat to show their emotion (in other words, investigate posts of "bullying" without taking into consideration the things said in the chat other than what the post and charge is, not how the person feels about it in the moment). I do, however, expect that this moderator has enough experience to already know that, though.

That's when we bring out the human sacrifice, that's why you're holding the short straw remember?
