Theoclymenus: Making friends and enemies and then cosying up to your friends and sniping at your enemies in order to divide people and create your own little community of hangers-on is contemptible behaviour, regardless of whether you do this on a web forum or in the "real world". It's quite shocking to see how many people still fall for the two-faced type of person who uses this kind of strategy. If you're a happy person already you shouldn't feel the need to piss other people off. And trying to elicit sympathy from the people who you've made yourself popular with, in order to enlist them as soldiers in your fight against your oppressors, is just a continuation of the same despicable and paranoid behaviour.

Throwing unwarranted accusations around is also contemptible behaviour. If you believe you have enemies then you shouldn't just accuse everyone you dislike (for whatever reasons you have about them) until you find the actual perpetrators, because that just insults innocent people. And if you don't care who you insult and you never apologize for making unwarranted accusations then you're a pr*ck and you deserve everything you get.
Very true.

In the corporate environment where I work at, a handsome 6 foot tall former high school jock routinely gets away with doing things that are downright sexual harassment and passive-aggressive bullying of shorter weaker males. Almost everyone just turns a blind eye to his indiscretions because of his popular reputation.

The only thing you can do is just suck it up, keep a low profile, do your job and get the hell out of there.

Shadowstalker16: lol thats him just taking sarcasm and jokes literally. I don't know about him accusing people of being scammers, but the rest of the stuff is BS that takes stuff he says at face value.
Maybe,you should read the correct posts before making a statement.

TinyE is DESPERATE to be popular, it's so OBVIOUS. He's almost the living definition of an attention seeker :

"I just got warned : P".

The ":P" gives it away. He is obviously already confident that the majority of the community will respond favourably. It's just so obviously the behaviour of an attention seeker.

Not exactly, I haven't ever seen TinyE 'mean' something when he uses words like ''asshole'', and think he's using it like most people use, as a non serious insult between friends. Same with the others. Un-justified? That really isn't, since nothing is really expected from a random post to decide what is and isn't unjustified. I don't know what you mean about bias, since all I do is reply to his posts sometimes and play along in trolling threads. And he doesn't post anything argumentative for me to agree / disagree.

He has never apologized to me for accusing me of downrepping him when I didn't. He's had ample opportunity to do so in this thread, but he hasn't taken that opportunity. My first post was quite diplomatic, I thought, but it made no difference. There has been an accumulation of evidence - not all of it to do with his replies to me - which has led me to conclude that, although TinyE is a funny fellow and very popular, he is in truth an attention seeker and a bit of a dick.

Emob78: Well, this thread was fun for a while. Then it got all serious and crap.

Like... as if.
Well, there is an option, one which worked for tinyE. Peoplel can add a "Ban [insert name of nick here]" added to the wishlist and people could put it to a vote.

Either GOG will be reduced to one person who likes to alienate everyone or a group of people who can civilly get along.

However, it would be the quickest way to get distilled wisdom of others' experiences with that individual.

I AM SO GLAD I DECIDED TO STOP PARTICIPATING MUCH IN THIS SITE. THIS PROVES IT HAS GONE TO SHIT.

I hope they are happy with how big they have become. To bad they turned into an awful hostile place. They don't even release that much good games anymore....

Now back into hiding

tort1234: tinyE was abusing his popularity in various ways and he was getting away with it because he was popular and no one had the courage to straighten him out.

He was acting like one of those popular kids in highschool who smacks a girls butt and gets away with it because he is popular and no one complains about the sexual assault.

1. He routinely called people "Assholes"
2. He insulted other people's mothers with very crude remarks and unfunny sex "jokes"
3. He was throwing around the word "scammer" with no proof.
4. He was acting as a forum bully.

Actually, has anyone ever considered speaking to this person in private and telling them that not only you, but others have noticed their unacceptable behavior and give them a chance to correct themselves?

I know that a lot of people don't like to "confront" the popular guy and in a public setting, it's not the best place to do it. But if you're talking to them one-on-one, they're usually more open to criticism.

Explain that what they are doing could potentially cost the company millions of dollars in lawsuits and really hurt everyone in the company if they have to pay attorney's fees and settlements.

People don't have to tolerate or avoid bullies, sometimes they just need an adjustment of attitude.

I have to disagree. :) Dying Light was a great addition and I can't wait for the DOTT (Day Of The Tentacle) re-make to debut next week.

It's only a hostile place if one lets it become that way, it doesn't have to be one.

It's this kind of inane behavior which people should be most infuriated about. Someone obviously finding an exploit and using it to irritate others.

No, but apparently you are trying to be in charge.

You're making an assumption that someone needs to be in charge. The only ones really in charge are the blues at gog. So far, they've thankfully decided to have a hands off approach to the forum.
