steelblade5858: I said you were annoying because you were putting your obnoxious ":)" in 90% of your posts, get over it.

GameRager: Smilies are annoying? I used to avoid using them myself until people started misinterpreting some things I said. I did it with the posts here to make it look like I wasn't being serious/nasty/rude in my replies to you.


Also many here use them to keep people from thinking the wrong things when they make a reply. Does this make them bad for doing so?
Start avoiding again, and yes they do.

You know what? I was honestly trying to be nice here(have been since I started posting in here actually) but if you're going to be a dick about it(OMG that guy used smilies & I HATE them so fuk what he said even if he was trying to help i'm gonna be a dick to him.) then bugger off.

To hate someone for a valid reason I can get. To hate someone because they used smilies(especially while trying to help me or others) when replying is just utter nonsense and makes you look to be a twat.

Calm down, I think you need to read the rules again... http://www.gog.com/en/support/website_help/forums_feedback

I admit I got a bit hot under the collar, but calling me a troll and shite was uncalled for, especially with the help I offered.

Also smilies are also not against the rules(and many use and enjoy them actually)....and to put it more politely, if you hate people just for using them then you need to relax a bit and put your priorities in order.

I am just offering one more bit of advice: If you want people to take you seriously and kindly here, especially when you ask for help, you should accept the help you are offered in a civil manner & if you must fight then concentrate more on picking your battles against those who should actually be disliked for some serious reason.

Smilies are the number one offense here on the gog forums.

Yes to smilies are against the rules, before you edited your response.

No they aren't. Harassment is against the rules. Smilies are not against the rules. :p

:)

(Mods here use them as well, as well as longtimers. they aren't against the rules. Again, I don't think you should call people names because they use smilies. If that upsets you then you are either mad at someone else[possibly not getting your code yet but I could be wrong.[, or need to rethink your thought on what is worthy of getting upset over in general.)

Read the rules again. Smilies are allowed and used by many here. Also using a smiley doesn't make one a troll or make their replies trolling/flaming/less worthy of being taken seriously.

Nah, they are. I forgot how helpful your post was before "Why am I suddenly imagining all the wonderful meme possibilities one could make from this? Like a pic with the header Meanwhile at Gog.com customer support line, and it shows a bunch of bears and goblins and trolls and such manning the support lines while fighting between themselves........then a split in the panel showing it to be a dream in the minds of Gog staff, with them thinking "Maybe that wouldn't be such a good idea." :) " I am soo very sorry for not taking you help seriously.

steelblade5858: Does anyone know if GoG has a number you can call for support?
They don't really need one. If you email support, they will answer you faster than you can get service on the phone to a company that puts you on hold for hours. No joke, I emailed them from the West Coast of the US, and got a reply within minutes from Eastern Europe. That is impressive, and they still are better than other companies, even without needing the use of a phone number.

They aren't. Are you so obsessed with your hatred of them that you are imagining things?

Also that post was a generalized post not to you but everyone here. It involves a bunch of memes and things Gog staff have made up about the support system here over the years, and was a joke. Not actual advice or a post to just you perse.


As for advice I told you to PM staff, that they might be out of keys and you may have to wait patiently, etc. I offered several bits of advice here.

Wow, I sent them an email yesterday, still haven't gotten a response, aswell as 3 support tickets.

And this is a civil reply how? Now I really do think you're just taking the piss here. And you called ME a troll. :\

It is a fact that similies are allowed here. Email staff if you like or ask them about it. I think you are just misinterpreting the forum guidelines to meet your own ends.

I also think you're being rude over nothing(me using a few smilies and cracking a joke about the support system in here)......but carry on if you must. It's not my skin on the line.
