Indeed and you where right but i haven't seen him post in literally ages now so how about you take up the mantle and start ramping up the frequency of your posts or convince some of these close to 5K reps to go over 10K as Wintersnowfall mentioned :p

Trust me, I've been salty several times on this garbage bin of a forum; I've even outright told several people straight to their face or via subtle snide remarks how their presence isn't welcome in my eyes. And apparently, I just never pissed off the wrong people. But yes; there is a hidden hierarchy. Every forum has one; even beyond the admins. Beyond simple ranks of trust, there are roles each user tends to get categorized into once they rise beyond the morass of infrequent people who haven't even changed from the default or whose first post is that they're leaving.

(And historically speaking, many admins had an internal and external pecking order; IE: If Breja was administrating a hypothetical subforum dedicated to Parades but went over to break up a slap fight in Ranger's Car subforum, the users would probably not listen very well to Breja.)


Course, as seen by this thread, parts of it have all the security that Miiverse did: Nontexistant.

The very fact that this post is low rated shows that you were right.
Especially the part about leddit. Fuck leddit!

looks like a troll started to dvote :P

Automatically I would say.
Some people don't like it, when others show how fubar and easy to manipulate the GoG rep system is.
Some people realy see it as their "weapon". Something to show "numbers" when there are none.

For my part I can just laugh about my downvotebot guy (who upvoted himself). Taking any kind of rep like this serious and beliving in other are "hurt" by very obiovisly manipulating it is very funny for me. We are not talking about kindergarden children...

Must be very sad people.

despite my low rep score i think its just from individual users (for each post) rather than a bot thang that some are on

There are high ranked users who don't frequent the genral forum, but in stead go to the different game forums where they *shock horror* talk about the games and answers other players questions. Weirdos, i know....

Huh, so they do truly exist?
I always thought helpful community members were a myth, like unicorns, the Loch Ness monster or honest politicians.

I think ZFR is the highest I've seen. Currently sitting at 5189.

*Tips hat*

Thank ye for the kind words :)

Since I also lose 4-5 rep per day, i'd say that outcome is prolly (as Spock would say) highly illogical.

-

But now they're all low rated...does that mean we're all right, then? o.0 ;)

I lost thousands of reps for recording stupid mistakes that GOG made.

Ah, sounds I will be the forever place 2 then. Lets call it flying in formation.
Seems like there is a script for this exact amount of downrepping out there - or we pissed of the same guy.

-

There almost certainly is(from what others have told me).

Guys......it's the same small (sad) group of users who do most such low rating on the forums, from what i've heard.

then all gog has to do is check the accs and perma ban them

I think someone once told me & GOG that there is a way GOG could track ratings(to find out who is using such scripts), so that GOG could then know who to moderate. GOG was informed of this, and then nothing was done since then.....make of it what you will.

(i'd go further into it, but don't wanna be seen as possibly disputing GOG staff, so i'll leave it there)
