And if they do fix your problem today I'm gonna go fucking postal. A YEAR AGO I sent them a PM of someone actually extorting me. I sent it to support several times as well as PMing it to a few Blues. This wasn't some piss ant complaint coming from a worthless egomaniacal narcissist (agree with me or die) gun toting (I always have to be holding a rifle when I have my picture taken to make up for my insecurities about having a tiny dick) maggot fucking spammer like Alaric. This was actual extortion...AND THEY IGNORED IT!!!!

Well, clearly this means you have to spam the forums approximately 132 times before they'll give you satisfaction.

I thought about it but no. :P They'd just boot me and get rid of my account, games and all. I know because GOG promised me they'd never do that, and well, they've lied to me about everything else regarding this forum so it only makes sense they'd lie about that in order to keep a perfect record. :P

As usual in this world, being a shitty person and a whining douche pays off. Bravo, GOG. Bravo.

The guy literally offered to help a well known troll to destroy the forum, and GOG is going to help hi, instead of throwing his rotten carcass out the airlock.

This just boggles the mind. I have never seen anyone run a forum like this. Not to mention an official forum of a major store.

You forgot to mention that they are doing that while totally blowing off the legit users. That's kind of the cherry on top of this fucking shit burger.

Ooooh, the gog staff promised a fix? Will they finally ban Alaric? That'd be great!

Edit: And now in all seriousness. All he's been doing so far was being a huge asshole, gog simply can't think of helping him, that'd be insane!

fyi, gog, i don't give money to stores that negotiate with terrorists

Do you really think they care about losing your business?

SHIT NO, you are a legit user.

They obviously only care about maintaining a relationship with the trolls spammers and hackers.

Today the beloved Community Manager said:

"It's not that we don't see it as big enough problem - we do. It's more than someone has to actually do it, and there's currently a backlog already."

Something like fifteen minutes later Mr. Alaric.us said:

"GOG noticed, got in touch, and promised a fix."


So, what's wrong in this scenario?

Yeah, i'm just making this face right now at the whole thing.

Come on. It's not his problem. This is a forum-wide serious flaw that affects everyone, that been trying to draw GOG's attention to it for a year now. And I for one I'm happy this is finally getting fixed.

It meant that anyone with enough coding skills, or sufficient patience, could literally delete any post made on this forum. Sure, it's Alaric's post that are getting deleted today (and as he demonstrated, it wasn't just his "spam" post; any post he made was being removed), but that could have been any one of you. If I'm not mistaken Conversation Free For All was being threatened because the original poster happened to annoy somebody, till Judas locked it.

If (a very non-obtrusive) spamming is what it took to finally get GOG to fix it, then so be it. I don't care what you think of Alaric, I'm grateful he did this before someone more malicious troll took notice of this exploit and started using it to delete useful posts that took ages to compile and cause serious trouble.

That said I wouldn't get my hopes up till GOG actually fix it. "Promising" is something they're exceptionally good at.

BULLSHIT BULLSHIT BULLSHIT BULLSHIT

We've been trying to draw their attention to rep abuse for well over two years now.

I've been sending them copies of that extortion PM for well over a year.

Well, giving how he offered one of such trolls to make the tools to do exactly that, that douchebag certainly doesn't deserve any praise or gratefulness. See below...
