dtgreene: Jewish people, for example
Why you said "Jewish people" instead of "Jews"?
For example i never heard expressions like "Russian people", everyone just say "Russians".

It is less offensive? A more neutral form to defend yourself from accusations of antisemitism or something like that?

Crackpot.756: Seriously though, if a joke made by a random stranger on the Internet can actively harm you, you should probably get off the Internet and into therapy.
Please don't blame the victim.

There's apparently a reply to a post I made in this thread, but the last page of posts isn't showing up. GOG, please fix this bug that has been around for a while!

1. Please don't call me "dude".
2. A "joke" that contains hate speech (for example) does, indeed, have victims. In fact, any "joke" make at somebody else's expense has a victim.

It was just a joke. Don't play the victim now -.-

See? That's the problem these days. If you can't even make a joke (like a "Ostfriesenwitz" or "Blondinenwitz" - jokes about blonde women who're not very smart) without leaving "victims" beind, you know that the planet is fucked!

Smart blonde women exist. Lisa Randall, for instance, is a smart theoretical physicist. Also, J.K. Rowling, an author who you have probably heard of.

Edit: Removed irrelevant (for this reply) part of quote.

fables22: Oh and - consider this a friendly reminder that if you should throw any more insults my way, it might have a consequence.
Would that also mean that there will be consequences when your non-negotiable rules will be loopholed, abused, bypassed, turned against innocent users while you would yourself get manipulated and puppeted by the veteran trouble makers and trolls who (i dont doubt about that) are rejoycing and very happy/eager about your upcoming rules as they already know how much fun it will be for them to use them and you as a better way to bully folks here while keeping their hands not dirty as they will be using gog staff as proxies for doing their usual job ?

because i dont do some theory crafting about what could happen IF it turns out that way... sorry for the brutal landing on the ground: it WILL happen. You know the beauty of the thing ? The beauty is that there are some high odds you won't even notice at all when it will happen.

I suppose this opinion of mine would grant me some sanctions though, am i right ? (rethorical question, save yourself some previous time by not stating anything too obvious)

(btw it's already happening and you didnt notice already, so... well, wish you good luck for the upcoming work of yours)

This is exactly what is happening, appeasing the whiners.

What was the point of hiring a "community specialist" by Gog in the first place if they can't make forum users happy ????

Gog advertised for the "community specialist" position so much, gave people hope that they would hire someone from within the community, asked people to send their resumes.......only to hire someone who was already in Poland and was never part of the Gog forum.


Fables said that rep means nothing in the long run....they why not just get rid of it, OR atleast allow the users to post links to youtube etc if they are in the negative rep due to troll abuse.


Negative rep does not allow people to post links is a big problem.

You can still post links as a quote, just a pain in the arse.

Amazingly, GOG blocked URL shorteners not all that long ago to prevent prevent people bypassing the "no posting links because you're negative rep" punitive measure.

So they obviously love and support this broken feature and can be proactive when it suits them.

And it's not just posting links, other users can get posts and entire threads deleted by low rating and spam reporting.

But hey GOG, ignore all this and focus on a few individuals who are butthurt because they keep whining to you.

Elsewhere. Did you lose your umlaut again? ä
Posting here doesn't seem worth the effort most of the time.
