Well see, we have emails attached to our accounts; and the rules clearly say speaking with ANY member of staff in any way is considered official correspondence.

Their chat isn't authoritative.

In event of a crime there's little to verify the user on the other end & is easy to break so it could be hard for GOG to claim someone received a notification since they can't verify receipt.

Email leaves a bigger track but applying a false e-mail address would make one "not available".

What about people that had a namechange? Can't get to their chat unless you know the old name.

He friend request me. If I decline he immediately does it again.
If I accept, he immediately unfriends me and then requests me again.

Anything to keep pestering me, and GOG is well aware of it and has asked me to let them know if he keeps it up.

See I can't speak for you but to me that's pushing the limits of what GOG can allow.

To my point of view the forums are equivalent, in ever manner, to a store's aisles. As such they hold the responsibility of seeing to consumer safety which includes harassment. It's the same as someone following you around Walmart (or whatever your regional big box store is) insulting you.

I pointed out to Fables that allowing people to follow others around the forum directing insulting messages or other action that are repetitive & designed to by intimidating likely violates GOG's head office operating standards as defined by the Cyprus Consumer Protection act.

Specifically:
"The Consumer Right to Safety
The right to be protected against products, production processes and services which are hazardous to health and life. It includes concern for consumer's ling-term as well as their immediate requirements."

I'd define the forums as both a production process (since many of their products don't actually work as advertised with out information gleaned from the forums) and a service (which the forums clearly are & probably an optional one).

The official stance of bullying in Canada is to contact police. However since there's been no death threats to my knowledge it's pretty un-actionable. If they were based in Canada there'd be several organizations I could approach instead in this case.

That said I have no idea what GOG's procedures & policies manual reads like & I'm also dubious about the amount of control the head office (if it's still in Cypurs which would be easy to check) has on the office we seem to interface with: the Polish office.

The Polish consumer acts seem more based around the initiation, continuation & termination of contracts. That is... buying & selling.
I couldn't find anything about store safety in English. Their consumer laws seem... well... lax.

They aren't allowing it.

Anymore.

Ah. You made it sound like it was still on going.

Great, now scammer's alts are showing up to report other users.. -_-'

Did you get a notification?

I'll ask again, does the new ruleset mean that swearing is not allowed? Or that there are specific limits. Not a huge deal either way, but I want to know before I go typing something and get banned for it.

I immediately PMd her when this came up and it seems to be a flexible rule, as any rule related to vocabulary should be.

I can't speak for what GOG will ultimately do, but I don't think anyone is going to get nailed for "Well shit, no release today." or "Damn, I suck at this game."

On the other hand, replying to a post you don't like with, "Fuck off you cock sucking motherfucking piece of shit!" will probably, at the very least, get you a warning. :P

Eh? Just look at this thread..

Oh, you mean the derepping? Yeah, I really don't care about that anymore.

No.. I meant those infamous users that suddenly showed up here to accuse other goggers.

Reported.
