Ciris: Hi guys and gals!

We are working on two much requested improvements to the chat system:

CLEARING A CONVERSATION

You’ll be able to delete messages from a conversation on your end, while keeping the other user on your contacts list. The other person will still have a copy of the conversation in their inbox and will be able to contact you again in the future.

BLOCKING ANOTHER USER

You’ll be able to block another user on chat - they won’t be able to write to you and you won’t be able to contact them. They will disappear from your contacts list and will be added to your list of blocked users. You'll be able to unblock users on a dedicated page in your settings.

Our web team plans to implement these two options within the next 2 weeks.

Let me know if you have any questions, I’ll gather them and pass them over to the web team or get someone from their tech-savvy band to stop by and answer them for you!

EDIT: You will be able to block a user on chat not only via the chat tab itself, but also in the forums via the tooltip that currently lets you add them to friends, view their wishlist or send a message. Therefore, if you see a spammer on the forum, you will be able to pre-emptively block them from contacting you.
hy

so. this post inspired me to look at my chat page. and, for a second, I thought I was looking at a friends list. there are some people there who are not on my friends list but yet I can still see them online. some of them probably aren't happy about that.

it would be good if you eventually remove the ability for non-friends to stick around in this capacity on someone's chat page. I get that there's problems with maintaining conversations and such. you could do it like this

chats are grouped into two sets in the chats list column. first set --> is it on your friends list? yes -> on top. no? -> underneath everything on top. so you'd have an index put first named "Friends" incremented with chats that are also friends and a bunch underneath named "Everyone" incremented with chats not friends. the key difference? can't see online status of chats not also friends.

I didn't specify the year ;) According to GOG usual ways, September 2016 is a good estimation for the features promised in the OP ^o^

The highly involved and active community manager on the forum did finally drop by to give an update on the contest. But in typical fashion ignored the pertinent issues and questions in this thread regarding the still missing features which affect all the users on the website.

stg83: If for some reason these features are not being implemented today then I would appreciate an explanation.
"We are sorry, it's all because of time dilation. As we did not anticipate ever needing them again, we have launched our entire web team into space. Now their two weeks mean approximately 2 years on Earth. Sorry for the inconvenience."

HA! I would even take that excuse over the general apathy on display yet again from GOG.

Jack skipped town, be we might still get shit.

"Sorry guys, but basically it turned out to be impossible to introduce blocking users and deleting messages. However, we've got this cool new feature that makes it easier to make and manage multiple accounts. It even works on mobile devices!"

See what you did? Now I don't want them ever to fix anything, can't afford to lose Breja ranting. You're one funny guy, you know that?
*laughs galore*

Hmm. I missed and didn't know about this update. Well, it is good then. More features.
