There should be an option for this forum that makes it so, nobody can PM you or only certain people can PM you.

Problem solved.

All the people in the world who feel entitled to gifts are, of course, going to come here and harass people. These people seek out generous people just like con artists seek out naive people. That is life. These people are like pregnant mosquitoes looking for blood. So what can we do? Well, next time someone PMs you asking for a game, tell this person to FUCK OFF. If everyone responds like this to PM begging, in time, it will stop.

Problem solved.

If you give these people what they want though, more will come and they will overrun GOG general discussion and create a Zerg like nest.

Any time someone PMs me out of the blue (which is rarely, but it ha happened) and I have a feeling something may be off; I google their username and GOG(and that is because GOG doesn't have this feature built in). I do this not to pry, but to get an idea of whom I am dealing with.

Yeah but what if a decent person gets bullied by people here until his rep is so low, he can't PM people?

sadly it wont mate - but more frugal / carefully placed gifts (ie no open codes) may help, as well as the community at large being more aware of it / wary of such things. a big fuck off "NO" painted on the moon if worth more than all the chinstraps in skegness! (yorskshire proverb!).

You don't think telling people to FUCK OFF, will work? Why? Unless the person is only pretending to want you to gift him or a her a game just to talk to you because he or she wants a sexy time with you, I think FUCK OFF very clearly communicates to the beggar that he or she is not getting shit.

That could be a problem, I know.
I guess there's no easy way around the problem, only other options are to implement a "Do not disturb" function or simply to block users is their PMs are unwanted.

I must admit I have seeded code in some of my more uninteresting threads in the past. More of a simple "fuck you for not reading it". Does that make me a bad man? -__-

Now to find that last thread before some undeserving bastard snags it.

NO! - presuming you mean the times you've dropped a code, and not the times you've made Stooner "dance" for you! O_o
Doesn't work in the day to day offline world mate - why the hell would it work online?

What if it's just one Scooby Doo villain trying to troll the whole community? This has happened before.

Then we're short one great dane, a kid on pot, and a person in an ascot.

Just the great dane. We can do without the guy in purple flares and paedo beard too!

Ok but we have a monkey, tinyE and a person named QC, who wears a monocle.

5 star thread. PMSL

Hmm what does PMSL stand for
