Been trying to post all day but stuck in a loop. Hoping that this will go through and I can edit it....

Edit:

Obviously something wrong with the links so I'll post the bot accounts - both found in the Baldur's Gate Series forum;

And still there a bot reported five days ago...

I'm posting here because there isn't a proper reporting mechanism:

Anyway, thread OP has been making threads touting the virtues of games on a disc-based format over buying games on GOG and isn't happy that he's failing to recruit people to his way of thinking, so he decides to insult another user and asks if they have either ADHD or dementia.

https://www.gog.com/forum/general/chatgpt_what_happens_to_my_gog_games_if_gog_goes_out_of_service/post53

The forum regulations specifically states:
- Do not intentionally insult or offend others.
- We don’t tolerate hate speech, intimidation, harassment, sexual, racial, or ethnic slurs, and discrimination.

Now I'll let the people with ADHD speak for themselves on this if they wish to, so I'll speak in only in regards to dementia as I had a grandfather develop dementia from a stroke before he passed away. It's a distressing experience to find yourself become a total stranger to someone that is your own relation (and more so when it's a parent or grandparent that was very involved in your upbringing.) It's not okay to be asking someone if they have this disease as a means of showing disrespect or to suggest that we should look down on anyone that has developed dementia.

The poster above needs a friendly reminder that good manners are a way of showing others that you care about them. If that's too much to ask for, good manners are a way to signal to others that you are dependable and can think beyond your own immediate wants. They make social situations easier for everyone to navigate.

Also because this is probably the third thread now on this subject, perhaps he also needs a friendly reminder to not spam the forum with the same topic over and over again.


edit - fixed a typo. :)

bot spammer... i see Gog decided to turn off their firewall this week so expect 100s of these on the forums

There actually is a "proper" reporting mechanism in place for such cases.

PM the blues responsible for the forums.
(yes - you will need to enable PM in your account to make use of that "proper" mechanism". Sucks, but that's the way, GOG wants this to be done. shrug) For future reference:

https://www.gog.com/u/Clownski_ (--> send a message)
and
https://www.gog.com/u/ponczo_ (--> send a message)

There's also
https://www.gog.com/u/chandra (--> send a message)

But I don't know whether s/he is still around.

Edit: added the quote from Clownski_

Thank you!

I'm now positive, that the "user" in question is a bot:
(empty account, created this month, repeats the same question(s) over and over)
