Hey everyone,
It seems that there is some confusion around what the rules are on this forum, how they're enforced, and how the forum is moderated, so I thought I'd just clear this up a bit.
We've had forum rules on GOG for a long time - if you need to refresh your memory, they're here: https://support.gog.com/hc/en-us/articles/212182929-What-are-the-house-rules-Code-of-Conduct-for-posting-on-the-website. These rules will possibly be undergoing some change in the near future, however, they are solid as they stand as of now, so please do follow them. If you have any questions or need any clarification, please let me know.
Remember that if you fail or intentionally choose to not adhere to those rules, this behaviour might result in a forum ban (after a warning, of course).
As for threads that are likely to cause uproar or are the kinds of threads that would, in the past, lead to many a forum rule being broken - those will be closely monitored, any posts breaking the forum rules will be removed - and their authors contacted. If the authors of those posts intentionally make themselves hard to get in touch with, the thread might be closed until those users have made contact themselves or responded to their warning(s).
By no means do I want to discourage discussions on those forums, but there are things that should and will not be tolerated, so please do take this into account while posting.
Thanks!
UPDATE: The new forum rules are now up - see here: https://support.gog.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001814049-Forum-Code-of-Conduct. Please familiarize yourself with them prior to posting! Thanks.
