Well, you should be glad about point 1 of that post, because otherwise you would be banned too. Since you're breaking the code of conduct too. And complaining about generosity (point 2) is very, very silly. Before you complain about that, make your own giveaways.

But I meant, why do you, specifically, care so much about that one user? You seem quite infatuated and all your continous posts about and at him really say is: "NOTICE ME! NOTICE ME! PLEASE, PLEASE, NOTICE ME!"

You can't gain anything else from these posts but being noticed by your target. So I guess exactly that is your intent.

This is like watching two Pakleds argue about engineering.

I don't think I break the CoC because I mentioned the problem in the first post. I think it should be discussed and GOG should do something about this. I also would never do a giveaway here because of the mentioned problem.

This is not true and not my intent. It is an example of the mentioned problem. Either you have someone with a bouquet of alts or you have these strange throwaway accounts. For both situations I gave examples. If you have a different example for a bouquet of alts I will immediately exchange it in the first post. Nobody here has problems with the mentioned LeeKingHole and Hamzat_Gelagaev. Strange, isn't it?

Since the beginning of the thread people are trying to shoot the messenger. Some of them obviously don't like the message. This is the reason why this thread got derailed and in its current state breaking the CoC. Yes, I am part of this and involved in a feud. Whatever consequences there might be for me or some other specialists in this thread the mentioned problem will stay.

Okay, so you have demonstrated that there is a flaw that can be abused, that someone is able to break the code of conduct with no meaningful ramifications. But is it currently a problem, truly; if it is only possible to name a single user taking advantage of it? Or is this indicative of a greater issue - is GOG unable or unwilling to police those using their services; are there currently others using abusing the system to their advantage; flagrantly breaking other rules? Although one solution may cover both problems, the use of burner accounts to create provocative threads being the second, I see them as distinct and separate, although related, issues. Introducing annoying, draconian measures that further hinder new users will only further discourage and decrease participation - more so than those who leave because GamezRanker is here, or the occasional inevitable new account making a troll post, I would say. I think you made your suggestion in post #93 off the cuff as an example, but a solution should be done without community based moderation and using no additional manpower than GOG currently uses.

If we lose the principle of trust that GOG is founded on, then what is the use. Just buy from Steam and comment on Reddit instead. In these places, you are already treated with scorn and distrust merely for existing; merely for expressing an opinion contrary to the accepted norm.

I think it is a greater issue. All community features including this forum are affected. The review system gets abused. Look at these four reviews.

review 1
review 2
review 3
review 4

They have zero games in their account and haven't bought the game they are reviewing. The third account is not even listed anymore. I see this very often. I will probably get the usual 'u mad? u wokester!' response for the fourth example. :D

The wishlist system gets also abused. Look at this entry and some of the comments.

There was someone who accused Breja for having multiple accounts. It is not the specialist I mentioned in the first post. That's all I say about this.

Seems reasonable enough. I prefer to take the approach of ignoring a negative post, rather than a negative poster. Even the honourable can say silly things from time to time, and it means that I can still gain something from and have with speaking with someone who might otherwise be unpopular, until it is no longer worthwhile doing so. This works well for me.

I only read the first 4 posts of this, but ...

I am amazed this has gotten to 6 pages without getting locked.

Enjoy the popcorn while it lasts. :)

Finally. I was.. I mean we were feeling left out.

You were almost too late, but you can still enjoy your stay here. :)


I knew you would like it. You can go ZP's Discord server, if you want to meet him again. :D

Same...i'll occasionally see something agreeable/interesting posted by certain users and reply to it, even if I usually ignore them.

I'm going to ignore this post though, it's not interesting enough to be worth responding to.

Good call, around 14.8% of my posts are nonsense or shite anyways :)

Now there is something I find agreeable! Here is a response to solidify that.
