JMich: Welcome to the madhouse fables. Remember that you will have to pop in the forums quite a bit, and I would also suggest getting a punching bag to use, since you will need to vent some frustration quite often. Thiev would tell you that you could use Judas' shins for that reasons, but I'm not sure how Judas would feel about that.
Why would I share?

Your divine beacon at night, your bearer of news good and bad (but mostly good), your pillar of support. You guessed it - I'll be your fixer upper for all things community. Go at me!
Another one? I wonder what is going on in the gog offices...

To create reasonable doubt of course. If you are the only one known to kick Judas, should his shins turn black and blue, everyone will be looking at you. If there are more than one person known to kick Judas, you can always claim that you weren't the one to do so.
Not to mention that if you appear to have been reformed, while another one has taken your mantle, should you fall back to your ways of old, suspicion should fall to the new one, not you.

It's all about doing the deed and getting away with it, isn't it? :P

But welcome to the blue ones :D
That was exactly the intention... :)

Thank you very much! Punching back - check. I would never even dream of using Judas' shins.

So do you want the long version or a short bullet point list? :P

Give me the long version. I need some night time reading.

Starting by finalizing this contest after a year or so would be nice. :P

Ah, I see that thiev has already staked her claim and scared everyone else off.

I'd suggest reading this thread, along with anything else moonshineshadow points you at. I also think there was another thread by Ciris which did have quite a bit of discussion with the (then) community manager, so you'll probably be able to see what mistakes they did, and hopefully avoid them. I cannot find said thread atm though, so someone else will have to link it to you.

But do be careful of any promises you make to us, since we do have long memories, and we don't forgive easily. Just try to joke about the site shutting down and you should see a few pitchforks.

The first thing to know is that there are bad people around, like scammers (e.g: Nes) or trolls (e.g: Tauto).

Beware of alts (fake accounts created by the same person) and impersonators (accounts with similar names of respectable users) and know that the reputation system is broken (abused with mass-derepping and self-uprepping).

Second is that the site has various bugs and missing features (too many to summarize now).

Depending on your "powers", hopefully you can help us.

You forgot to mention that there are people like TinyE here as well, who defy classification. But if TinyE is taken from us, we riot.

Ah yes, better warn her before she perma-bans him. XD

Welcome fables22!

Hope the communication about things gets better now there is a community manager and you can really fix some stuff. :)

Edit: There might also be some interesting stuff in this thread (even if most of it is technical): https://www.gog.com/forum/general/the_what_did_just_break_thread_20/page1

Thanks for the plug.
Oh,by the way people should only be monitored on date of starting new job and anything before that would be considered victimization.So be careful or you may be the one in trouble for inciting an argument or reporting other user's as you have by naming me.

There is abuse of people's rights as in deleting posts and threads by marking as spam until deleted.This is blatant abuse of the system of Gog's forum members and it should be addressed asap.Every member has the right to post and make a thread without being deleted and abused.
P.M above info before deleter's could abuse.
