richlind33: Not sure where that came from but I will say this: if I had the power to expand and contract the money supply, I would be the "Illuminati" because I would simply hire you to serve me, and serve me you would because I would pay you well -- with other people's money. lol
Just watch the video and ask yourself "what is the video saying?" The shear amount of random occult symbols (with not meaning) alone will make normal people be like "whatever they were smoking, they need to share it."

55 years ago? Yes. Today? Maybe on LSD. For a couple of minutes.

ZFR: Yes, simple downposting doesn't delete a post. You have to click "Report as spam" as well. This doesn't change the fact that it's a serious issue. Forget Tauto, it's the fact that anyone can delelte any post that is scary.

Tauto: It's called ABUSE but the new moderator will not answer my question about it.Must be too hard.
You know, it's funny how you keep complaining about abuse and bullying. You know another example of abuse and bullying? Stalking a member's forum game threads and keep trying to disrupt them by posting "buttplug" in them.

I don't think your (non-spam's) posts should be deleted. Or anyone's for that matter. But stop trying to show yourself as a victim here.

What goes around comes around, little hero. Now run along and complain about bullying and abuse some more.

Oh,so your posts and threads are never deleted.I would love to get a hold of the so called script that does and WHAM! I think you would cry like a little baby as all the others would too.It is ABUSE,or don't you understand that word?

I keep hearing about these magical scripts, as well. How comes no one ever wrote a counter-script?

I'm not really sure why "so called"? Your posts get deleted because a large enough people click the "Report as spam". You think this process can't be automated by a script? here is a simple one as an example. One we used back in the day to combat real spam (it's simpler and probably won't work anyomore now but something similar could be easily written):
https://www.gog.com/forum/general/we_are_under_attack/post1031

Yes, I agree with you that it is abuse (or even ABUSE) as you put it. But you partially brought this upon yourself by your previous behaviour. 1 or 2 years is not a long time on internet forums.

No, if it happened to me I wouldn't cry like a baby because I don't believe in self-pity.
(if you want a real example: look at Alaric, his posts are deleted just like yours, and he is NOT crying everywhere about ABUSE).

So here is a genuine piece of advice to you. I'm going to post this once, and then leave you alone because to be honest I couldn't care less what you do, but this is for the gunnysynd in you with whom I had the pleasure of discussing cricket once on these forums:

Stop self-pitying. As simple as that.
It doesn't matter how much you blame GOG staff or the other forum users for the ABUSE that's happening to you, the truth is you're only hurting yourself. Instead, enjoy your interaction with those users who do talk to you (and there are a lot of them; your threads seem to get enough responses before being spam-deleted). Or play a video game, or go outside for a walk and just do something you enjoy. There is never a good reason to make yourself miserable on purpose. If others abuse you, piss on them. Don't compound it buy digging a misery hole for yourself. With such actions, you're not getting back at them, you're not "standing up" to bullying; you're just wasting your precious time on people about whom you shouldn't care less.

With that it mind, have a good day (or evenig in your case I imagine). I'm leaving you alone now.

Some used actually, especially one scammer account comes to my mind. I won't point out because of.. reasons ; ) Someone else should do that, when the right time come. Let us hope things will be back to normal soon and everything will become clear and concise. Like it was before downovoting story..

I could probably do it, myself, but i'd rather say my arguments and have a logical discussion, rather than sit and wage war. This is why, unlike someone else who has come after me and others before, I didn't try to get private access to this new moderator. I don't want to silence my opponents from keeping me on the straight and narrow line, should i wander from it.
I've taken note of all the feedback given so far, including views on the rep system, up/down votes and how the deletion process of threads will be going forward. All quality of life feedback has also been noted and I will do my part in passing that on.

On a personal note, thank you for the welcomes and keeping things civil. This is all the first few steps towards making this place better for us all.

Linko90: I'm from the North East!, Newcastle to be exact. Kinda like Winterfell from Game of Thrones (we even have a wall) but without as many decapitations.
Ah, Newcastle. Nice town, but I lost a girl there once. Since them I'm not as fond of that place as I was. ;-)

But, as a welcome, a difficult question right away: what about those profiles. Are they still switched on by default? And how does that agree with the GDPR? Could you, as the new guy, perhaps convince your colleagues to make them opt-in instead of opt-out?

And my two cents about the Rep system: get rid of it. Completely. It's just a number that deters newcomers to the forum. Old members know that it doesn't mean anything. But when a new member becomes victim of Rep abuse it may scare them off and that surely isn't what you, as a company, would want.

I'm not interested in your couch doctoring,doctor nor anything you have thoughts on.Gog set up a system which could be used as an abuse system,they don't even have the guts to answer me on this because they know I'm right.Maybe someone from Gog can do a video link to an Australian Court and justify their case as not abuse or maybe they can't.Either way it would not be very popular news for Gog.I'm done with you and would appreciate no more replies to any posts of mine as I'm sure you can find someone else to troll.Oh and remember there is always TWO sides to a story so try to be unbiased.Yes,I know you can google the meaning.
