Explain the situation!
Why? So that she can ignore him like she's been doing for almost one month?

BillyMaysFan59: At least you finally noticed the vulgar thread title, kudos for that. Any comment on the situation which brought this up though? (I.e. nes and his alts) I'm also surprised it took you people this long to edit the title.
I'll just address the issue that you're asking about.

I got a message a while back from a user about the issue and as soon as I did, I passed it on to others in the company. Since then, we've been looking at various options of how to solve the problem (either temporarily while we work on a permanent solution or permanently from the start), and I'll be able to provide you with more information next week as to what exactly it will be - I don't want to announce a new functionality before it's sure to be implemented.

TL;DR -- We're working on a solution to the harrassment issue. More news next week.

befriend her, then
I really don't want to come off as outraged, but I think I will leave the forums if this shit keeps up.

i temporarily opened up my PM to everyone again and wrote her this:

what is wrong with you people? i had to get your attention somehow and you don't acknowledge the bullying going on?
death threats, DDoS threats, porn links, strong insults,
i'm not the perpetrator here. i'm not the one you should be scolding. you should be scolding yourselves, all of you who didn't respond all week, and the bully.
you know, i'm really not sure i want to buy more of your products if this is how you treat your customers

Ciris: Guys, we occasionally curse a little too, as anyone does, but this thread takes things a bit too far. It’s one thing to use a swear word in conversation, where relevant, and another to just do it for the sake of cursing.

I’ve changed the title of the thread to something more forum-appropriate.

We hope no more threads like this will appear but if they will do we will delete them. If someone will be very persistent in creating these kinds of thread titles, we will consider banning this person. Nevertheless, this is the last thing we would like to do, as we love that GOG.com’s forum is the place where intrusive moderation is not needed, as you guys are well-mannered people that keep the conversations civil no matter how heated things get.
I got nothing new to say, just adding my voice.

Just posting this very sentence somewhere, "a while back", would have avoided a lot of forum agitation. And naughty words.

me too.

imagine if instead of me, the bully had done this with a mentally unstable, suicidal person.

mrmarioanonym: sure, ban the person who swore to get your attention, not the person posting porn and making death threats.
it would be great publicity for you.
Buddy i saw this thread popping all day no wonder you will get banned for making everything less friendly here for others!

Stay safe or please its best to leave from here with your pouring remarks here about policy, staff and site.

I have nothing personal with you just an opinion for your misbehavior. Cheers! :)

Really? Oh this could be good!

Suggestion: find a way to identify alts, require a real unique email with confirmation for new accounts, hide but don't delete reported posts to keep the proofs.

There's such a thing? Without a community management framework it's impossible to tell what 'forum-appropriate' means.

What about an old functionality like the Block and Report in the previous PM system then? Surely your web dev team at the very least should have restored the pertinent feature and please don't tell me to use the privacy settings to set it to "Friends Only" because its definitely not the same thing.
