Soccorro: ! Besides, it's Holidays!

OldFatGuy: Well people, get your downrepping fingers ready, because....

IMO, if a company takes your money on a holiday, they should have customer service on a holiday.

There I said it, I believe it, and stand by it, despite what's about to happen to me....
Not going to downrep you. You know why? Because you made a statement like a frigging adult. Properly, respectably. You did NOT spam the frigging forum.
After a certain point, a valid argument or statement turns into an entitlement tantrum real quick.

I didn't mean to imply I was expecting to get hammered/downrepped by you personally, I just figured it would be received badly by those reading in general. Sorry about that.

maritai: It was 41 pages a while ago. About half of it is deleted now.
I, like probably many others, have downvoted and reported it as spam. I am very tempted to continue this. Do any of you know if this automatically deletes his threads, or if I just create even more work for the support persons when they return?

RadonGOG: I think it helps support team!
Oi, I see that I gave wrong info, I claimed that about half of it was gone, but on page 34 there is still more spam. Sorry!

It's okay, didn't think you were making a statement aimed towards me. You're fine, no need to apologize. =)
GOG should have people around to cover problems. Won't disagree with that for a minute. If you're selling during a holiday, you should have the infrastructure related to that sale in place, whether in tech or personnel.

I estimate 20% are gone.

Well it definitely won't be taken out of context by the folks that know you OFG and neither by other sensible people here on GOG, so its all good. A very Happy Holidays to you by the way, hope you're doing well. :)

Oh, and btw, the threads aren't disappearing after I do the downrep and report as spam thing. Does it take awhile or should I be seeing them disappear?

EDIT: I've done two, and they both remain (I can tell because they're the only two not bolded, since I opened them up)

They disappear as soon as enough have reported them as spam---> so it can take a while or happen right after you´ve reported a spam!

I have heard rumours that it disappears after 5 have marked it as spam.

It makes it so I can't read the post, but the thread still shows up. I guess maybe it just takes awhile.

Oh, and don´t forget: We´ve deleted so many that it´s hard to see which ones are already deleted... :)
(most of them are about one hour ago...)

Pheace: This would be a good time for GOG to replace the forum with one that has some properly working features (like search and quoting)
That the forums do not have in-built spam prevention is beyond me, and as is evidenced by this thread, this isn't the first time this has happened. Then again so many of the changes on GOG this year are also beyond me. Whoever actually gets paid to design and manage this website and forums is/are seriously lacking in technical knowledge.

I miss the Call Girls spam...

I'm seeing that a bunch of the ones I marked are gone now, so yeah, it must work. Just takes a little bit I guess.
