Well, ok, but next time you are about to reply to wall of text (I mean for MY STANDARDS my message WAS SHORT but for internet standards it would probably be regarded as wall of text) with one small sentence THEN just cut the entire post you are responding to and just leave it's headers - that way it's gonna give you direct link to that post in your post for anybody who will want to see what you responded too and meanwile as it's not gonna display any actual text it will make your post less visibly eyesore.
What do I mean by headers - when you hit reply it prepopulates your post editor with quote. You have quote headers (top one being with number) and it's contests. Just cut entire contests and leave it empty if you are about to reply to entire message and not some small bits of it.

And as you seem to be new on this platform - it utilises reputation system (which is by the way flawed).
If you want to get it up fastly you need to be active on forums around here.
You can get 1 (if I remember correctly only 1) rep point for making a new post per day - and I don't know what the day is - I don't know when the day starts for server so don't ask me about that.
Apart from that you get points:
-if your post gets upvoted a lot (if it gets downvoted a lot you loose some of your points)
-your answer somebody's question and your answer is marked so by whoever asked the question
-possibly some other activities but since gog is super unclear about this and they don't seem to provide this essential information I completely forgot these if I even knew these

Also be careful to not provoke people to downvote you to oblivion. There are toxic people on gog forums A LOT and they may often have high reputation for some unknown reasons.

Also you should take it for granted that gog staff does not read responses to their own posts most of the time as well as they do not moderate ANYTHING down here - gog is essentially like a wild mysterious magic forest where anything can happen. You can expect absolutely everything from another post.

Also:
If you get to a new thread - READ FIRST (especially original post) - people here often DON'T and then they proceed to ask for things that already got answered - consequently pissing people off - and it happens like every over page on bigger threads.

If you make an ENTIRE post as mistake - for example you DON'T READ and ask something obvious or inappropriate - then while editing your post DO NOT replace it with like "deleted" and such - instead put a note about that you realised your mistake or something like that - that way you are less likely to get downvoted to oblivion for pissing people off.

Also beware of trolls and ultra toxic people - some of them may downvote ALL your posts in a thread if you trigger them and sometimes even ALL your posts in ALL threads if they try.

If you don't know how to use downvotes and upvotes - those are pluses and minuses next to each post (except for your - you cannot upvote or downvote your own).

I suggest you change forum settings because defaults are pretty bad.

Also gog is not steam - a lot of stuff here works in unintuitive ways and it's often a pain. So for example don't use "forum replies" tab (unless you absolutely have to) as that will only give you DIRECT RESPONSES TO YOUR POSTS on some threads and NOT responses to ANYBODY in some threads - just mark some thread as favourite and then use "all forums" tab where you will see UNSORTED seemingly random list of your favourite threads.

Hope this at least somewhat helps you with using all this stuff.
