Hi there,
I have recently discovered that there us no "-" option anymore
So I can't negatively rate any posts, for instance with offensive content.
Am I missing something?

This and the forum not showing the reputation number anymore were some of the changes introduced to make the forum lesss toxic.

You can report them to a mod.

Maybe visit a little more often, and you would have known sooner...

In general I think down votes or the like are pointless so I don't see it as a loss.

I've linked the forum topic where it was announced

It was done in two stages

1. Hide everyone's user rating
2. Remove the ability to give a negative rating

Bots had a tendency to abuse the system and rate every post by certain users with a negative rating, causing them to lose their link posting privileges.

Speaking of: I coincidentally opened a few threads to skim through recent posts, and found something a bit odd with one of them. Everyone may feel free to check the post below to see if they can figure out what that odd thing is. *final jeopardy music begins*

Thats pretty easy: The half_baked-incomplete-untested solutions this store delivers

You see:
-They hid the button, but apparently all the coding/functionality is still there
-Same with the rep: They hid it. As another scarlet marked you are (like me)
go to gog.com/forum/mysettings and Eureka! Our negative rep still growing!
Mine on -855 & counting... Isnt that gr8?
And if you wonder: Yep, we cant post links thanks to it, like 2nd class customers
And do they care? Of couse not!

Well, all this rant to: Having the downvoting functionality still there,
the downvoters dumbos still keep doing their lame job...
And what was the crisis room ,,response,,?
Run a sort of job once in a while to clean the "low rated" texts...
(Arent they grrrrreat?!)

And as you might imagine, "The GOG Community Gifting Thread"
keeps its permanent target of those dumbos
Dont blink & you will catch the "low rated"
Oh, wait... you already did it :)

That's just lazy coding. They should disable it completely and rest everyone who has negative rep back to zero rep.

I hear you

The problem is, this store works on another channel...

Closed in Three, Two, On-

HIDING a post and DOWNVOTING a post should have been separate things from the beginning.

I would downvote this.

Folks,

It is so nice to have your support in such a short time! Thank you, I appreciate it much.
It's true, I don't visit forums often. In fact, let's say once in 2 month. So I've got confused that I can't downvote anymore when I saw absolutely toxic troll writings. I supposed I will have to wait for GOG team reply, but you guys were the first to support.

Thanks again for your support!
