As GOG officials have been aware of those all encompassing flaws for many, many years now, plans and promises have been made several times to get rid of the reputation system altogether. You can find no less than four wishlist entries in the GOG database that ask the company to do exactly as they've said they'd do. However, the forum software is now so antique and the people who made it probably so not with GOG any more that this evidently simple cut could hurl the whole forum software to hell. So what basically everyone, GOG officials included, is waiting for is an entirely new forum software with no idea who is going to program it. Expect there to be a swift implementation before or in 2077.

"Look, we need two things from you: first, find and kill the trolls, and

And then you find the twist, that not all trolls were programmed into the game. So the forums remain broken forever*.
*At least until modders come along and implement the missing content back into the game. :P
