Syphon72: He also wasn't really against the banning of you know who, so it was not something he wanted to boycott.
I don't quite understand that sentence, but also (and I guess it doesn't really help) I don't "know who". :-/

I was talking about GOG banning of Russia transaction. Sorry that was my bad.
Perhaps I missed it while reading the CoC (oh my...), but didn't see something about it not being allowed to talk about other stores. Unless they lump it under advertising I suppose. However, one thing that was amusing to me:

"Please use the reputation system and the “report as spam” system in justified cases. For the explanation of how our Forum features work, have a look at the Forum and feedback section in our FAQs here."

This is no longer possible due to the disabling of the reputation system, or at least the negative vote. So we can no longer report spam via that feature. No idea how we would report spam now tbh. Send them an email? Then they look at it and possibly remove it 5 weeks down the line?

Remember "We are under attack!" V1 and V2?

V3 is now a sticky, so you may well have missed it as many do when things are stickied with no floating thread.

Syphon72: It's baffling that an intelligent guy like Timboil would think the thread is being sabotaged, and people are ganging up on T4T. Does he not see T4T and ZOOM are doing this to themselves, or is he hanging around Zoom discord too much, believing all the CEO bull?
That's because you are not looking at the bigger picture.

I don't use Discord, actively dislike it, so no I do not hang around there.

My interest in ZOOM Platform, is purely DRM-Free games that either don't exist at GOG or are cheaper than at GOG ... that last bold bit being something I have never seen.

I ignore all the banter and politics, and don't feel the need to take sides. I am all about the games and not the nonsense, regardless of who says it.

I could probably buy more games at ZOOM Platform, but their pricing prevents me.

wolfsite: Not it hasn't, people have given the person answers on how they should proceed, the topic creator chooses to ignore and continue to complain like they are being victimized, posters again repeat what they can do. original poster escalates and again ignores options presented..... by doing this they are breaking the rules of the forum as this is a situation that should be resolved privately with GOG staff - again something many have pointed out - but they continue to keep it a public issue when it is not.

So people are just calling out the poster now, frankly T4T is just sabotaging themselves as they are merely refusing to accept the answers being provided and continues to create drama and act like a victim when they are the ones escalating the issue.
Of course it has, and your post is just another example. You are attacking the OP, because of his stance on ZP and because he doesn't do what you and some others think he should. You might call it 'calling out', while I see it for what it is, 'ganging up'. It wasn't sufficient to do it just in the Zoom Platform thread, now you have to do it here too.

You could just ignore the OP, no skin off your nose, but you deliberately choose not to, and that says it all. And none of me saying that, means I support the OP, I am just pointing out what is blatantly obvious, regardless of whether he should have made this thread or not, and frankly GOG at times are indeed contradictory, which is the only reason I first participated in this thread.

Time4Tea: Aggressive behavior, accusations, calling out of other users, thread hijacking are all in violation of the GOG forum code of conduct ...

I have reported the users who are in violation of the forum CoC to the moderators. I will not post any further in this thread, but will wait for the moderators to take action (and hopefully restore some discipline to this forum).
Did you also report yourself because you yourself violated GOG CoC's with the OP of this thread, which is a thinly-veiled attempt on your part to violate GOG's CoC terms of "do not make posts which publicly question moderating decisions."

This whole OP of this thread is doing exactly that: you are publicly questioning the GOG moderators' decision to close the Zoom Platform thread, your act of doing which is itself the biggest violation of GOG's CoC in this whole entire thread.

Also, it's technically not possible to "hijack" a thread which is entirely invalid in the first place, since the OP inherently violates GOG's CoC.

I'm not really taking sides, but Zoom needs to be called out.

Everyone seems to be giving a resaonble reply to why they disagree with what T4T and ZOOM are doing. This dose not come off as ganging up. Want to see real ganging up?
Be a windows user in Linux thread. Haha jk

In my opinion this thread should be no concern to you. Because you're here only for the games. I understand you want both stores to coexist, I do too.. but one of the DRM free stores dose not want that to happen. I'm not even exaggerating.

I support ZOOM, but there action are drivng me away.

Question: You never used discord for ZOOM support? I really wish they would get ticket systems. I have alien hallway from them. The game will not start at all. I'm afraid the issue will get lost in discord like my other issue.

Telika: Ah, there's also the fact that, if I remember well, T4T had alienated part of his boycott participants by refusing to broaden the reasons of the boycott, and by keeping it as a specific message for specific changes.
That's not correct.

On the contrary: the original boycott was itself broad right from the start, with the original/real premise being that any GOG user is free to boycott GOG and join that all-purpose, all-encompassing, highly general boycott thread, for whatever reason(s) that they personally, as individuals, want to boycott GOG for.

Then, years later, T4T took it upon himself to take control of the boycott thread and retroactively change the purpose of the boycott to include only the two reasons that he himself personally wants to boycott GOG over, and to exclude all other reasons from all other users who want to boycott GOG over different and/or additional reasons, even though those other reasons had already been included in the boycott from the beginning, and which were the reason that many people signed up to it in the first place.

But you are correct that he did indeed alienate a lot of boycotters when he co-opted and re-purposed the boycott thread, over the objections of many boycotters who do not approve of nor consent to that re-purposing.
Alright, alright. This thread turned into some witch hunt. I also stopped counting minor CoC violations.
I will just lock it.

PS: if you have any questions regarding CoC, please contact a moderator instead.
Ah, one more thing: everyone who gathered up into a form of "gang" in order to attack T4T, receive a warning (those who's posts crossed the line of constructive criticism).
