tinyE: Right now there is nothing you can do about it because GOG is too busy helping Alaric destroy what is left of the forum.

phaolo: Tinyeee, Fables started fixing the forum BEFORE Alaric.
And she also started her job since a few weeks: you can't expect her to fix all asap!

I'm not blindly trusting that she'll be able to do it, but I don't dismiss her words either.
And I'd never expect big improvements so early on any site.

Yes, I know that GOG ignored us for years and blabla, but now there's a chance, even if slim.
Thanks, but honestly - there's no point trying to convince TinyE otherwise. You are right in all you're saying, though. I'm also not helping Alaric to ruin what's left of the forum - that's actually laughable.

Maybe at least you guys could add a rep < abs(5) check to the link post restriction instead of rep < 5, people would stop worrying about it altogether.

tinyE: How about just get rid of rep period?
Seriously, I don't want to be a prick and I am wiling to cut them some slack on booting people given the circumstances, but there are so many little things they could do that they keep blowing smoke up our asses about.

Get rid of the rep, maybe close of few of these spam war threads; it would take five seconds and at least show people like me (and the myriad of the other people fleeing this shit hole) that they are trying.

THREE YEARS they have been promising me they are getting rid of rep. THREE YEARS. I'm now down over 1100 because of someone who openly tried to extort me (hello delete that account, even if it is one of 50 of his alts, throw a dog a bone and show me you are are really working here) and nothing.
If it's been three years, then I'm sorry. If the removal of rep was put on the agenda for the website team three years ago, we would've had it by now. I just spoke to the guys again (I know you feel like I'm just sitting here picking my nose but honestly, that couldn't be further from the truth) and it is going to get done. When, I don't really know.

In the meantime, what would help would be people dropping the insults (or at least turning them down a notch) and steering clear of the toxic, hate interludes.

Preach it, man. I'll do the chorus.

On a side note: "Toxic hate interludes" would be a wicked band name.

Yea. That was not really the point...

I really feel bad for you here, 'cause you've got a job that nobody wants. As much as I wish it wouldn't happen, people are gonna use you as a punching bag because you "represent" GOG, regardless of what you can or can't actually do. To them, you're the physical (virtual?) embodiment of some 5+ years' worth of inaction.

All I can say is, carry on doing the best you can. Whether you manage to make any big changes or not, your efforts are at least appreciated.

Honestly, don't feel sorry for me. I know there was going to be a lot of hostility and possibly also hate, and so far it's not been more than I can handle. It's a shame that this is where we're at now, but I still think we can get out of it alive :)

Yeah, but you don't really deserve it for just trying to do your job. It doesn't say much for the community that you have to prepare for hostility and hate just for signing up to handle the place (if that's even in your job description anyways).

I mean, at least you're doing more than many others have done so far and actually been reaching out to and actively interacting with the community. It's what we've always asked for, and now that we get it, this is how we respond...*sigh*...

Maybe not a band name but I might well use this as the title for an industrial music track of mine. I've written this down on my "ideas for song titles" notepad, thx fables ;)

I can understand some of the complaints around here (and the forum/rep it a big one) and I am guilty of this myself, especially with the Galaxy team. However, Fables you have been great in my opinion at interacting with the community, not only on the site but also on /r/gog, etc,... so thank you for that.

I think many of us just feel as if GOG is slow to respond to our complaints and that GOG lacks communicating in many regards, but at the end of the day most of us realize you guys are just people like us working for a large company where the right hand may not always know what the left hand is doing. :)

Destruction is at hand! DOOM! DOOM!

Wait, Fables, are you also on that merry bandwagon and think that I am working to "ruin what's left of the forum?"
