You mean the ones who notice that he's suddenly answering a lot of really stupid questions from users with 1 rep who just registered?

I would of thought of him more as your alt than mine GameRager :P

I gave ya a compliment, ya crazy mook.....take it and smile already. :D

Forgive me if I choose to ignore your opinion on this matter, given your history here ;-p

And it's mature to bring up the long dead past how exactly?

More mature than that long dead past was, I guess? You turned out alright in the end, but it was a long and arduous journey, and pretending otherwise really wouldn't be very mature, now would it? While your past may be forgiven, it's not forgotten.

I'm just saying that, as the most notorious multiple-account-holding-self-up-repper in GOG history, you're probably exactly the wrong person to say "That doesn't mean anything, necessarily", at least if you're trying to help him.

The same applies to real life as well lol.

To be fair, let us not forget, it is not like Vexxum came and ONLY asked for a cheap game, he also posted

http://www.gog.com/forum/general/nongog_gifting_thread/post1041]
"If someone could get me MW3 and Asaasins Creed III over Steam, I would love it. Thanks!"[/url]

I mean come on...fuck...that right there should be an automatic -1000 to the rep. Sure, he said he would love it, and Thanks!...but who would not love getting $110 worth of games for free. Especially when all i had to do was createa free account and then post in the non GOG gifting thread.

I guess its better to ask than to pirate but shit...at least get to know people around you and make some good friends. Heck, i would not ask one of my good friends straight up for a $60 game, let alone a stranger.

Sure he can be all friendly like and apologize, but come on...he does not deserve any love at the moment.

Maybe, but that doesn't make it right for others to bring up my past all the time(I'm speaking in general of everyone here that does it from time to time, not you specifically.).
-------------------------------------------
I don't expect people to forget what I did if they can't/don't want to, but to move on and let the past stay in the past unless they truly need to bring it up for good reason.

(Sorry....venting. Some have brought up my past here for childish reasons in other threads and seeing your post reminded me a bit of that.)
---------------------------------------
To be fair,(Not trying to downplay my mistakes here or say I never made any.) I only made the multiple accounts/uprated myself when a few people started downrating everything I posted that they could find in an attempt to discredit & upset me.

I admit it wasn't the best of ideas(I'm very self-conscious, sadly, and this caused me to take the unfair -1s more to heart than I should have.), but that's what I got for letting my emotions get the better of me at the time.

As for the OP: I guess I was upset at seeing people berate him for that one thread he made/asking for games just because he's new. As such, I understandably got a bit defensive(I seem to identify strongly with people being [genuinely] unfairly treated here and I get a bit too emotionally involved sometimes.). I'm sorry if my discussion of the rep system/the OP upset or irked anyone, at any rate.

Maybe he was being a bit greedy, but I don't see that as reason to low rate the guy or be rude to him. (Generally speaking)
-----------
-1000 rep for asking for an expensive game upon joining a forum? Isn't that a tad harsh for such a minor slight? And he can ask, but that doesn't mean anyone has to give it to him.....as such, I don't think people should fault him to such a degree for asking as he did.

(I agree that he probably should've asked for something more reasonable, though.)
------------------------
Everyone(short of truly evil people, of which there have been a small handful[relatively speaking] throughout history) deserves love and forgiveness.

I certainly get what you are saying. But sometimes there are kind people, and others who are really pissed off. I can see that you are pissed off. So go ahead and down rep everything I do, if that makes you feel better. :) Have fun! I am just here to have fun with you all anyways. But, ya know, not everyone is liked. :D

Is that quote from Hitler? How old are you?

With that attitude you will get down reped a lot. If you don't learn to have respect toward others, you'll not get far. Just friendly advice. ;-)

Hitler??? I wasn't aware Hitler ever said that.
-------------------------------------------
I admit this is good advice, though.

I try to respect others. I just sometimes lose that control over my respect when someone like misfire comes along and says what he said.
