I understand that the "X rep required to post links" system is an inconvenience for low rep users, but since it was put in place due to spam bots, they have no reason to remove it from their POV, and that's making a quick and cost-efficient "patch" to deal with the situation without messing with the current forum software. GOG's a business, and if they see an increase in the use of the forum by their userbase as they grow, they will re-evaluate things and do something about it that goes beyond quickly "patching" things.

Why? Well, as you said HypersomniacLive, they won't bother to make a patch for fix something simple like that (the rep posting system), right?
But hey, it didn't took them too long to implement a system to block some words from the forum, right? Why? Because it was on the front page of the forum.
Just a reminder with the people were dealing here folks...
