For example, if you where a massive troll on the forums, would you get restricted of your games?
And on what occasions will it happen and has already happened?

GOG doesn't really moderate the forums aside from rare ocassions where people get warned.
As GOG sells DRM-Free games even if they restricted access as long as you've downloaded the installers you'll still have the games.

Oh and also, what kind of bans are there?

Yes, but at what point will you get restricted from downloading your games.

I really wouldn't know, you'd probably have to constantly spam everywhere to get such a reaction.
Creating new threads every few second etc.

I think when you become a notorious troll, they will ban you from the forums. But your library shouldn't be affected. They will probably only restrict that if got the games fraudulently.

Your account can be suspended if you breach the user agreement.

Other than that, GOG doesn't have any reputation for removing access to purchased content. Even games which have been withdrawn from sale (eg. Descent, Fallout Classic, Duke Nukem) are still available for their previous owners to download, so no worries in that case.

So there are no set rules and you just have to think logically?

Ah that's a possibilty.
I guess they might be able to ban you from just the forum. xD

Alright so basicly you won't get restricted from your games.

2 more questions:
1) Can you appeal your ban?
2) How can you mark multiple solutions? ^ ^

Are you planning something? First the question how to hide your country and now you want to know in which cases they will ban your account. That sounds a little suspicious. ;)

1. We wouldn't know, you'd have to ask the people who've been banned.
Those people were spamming though, I doubt you'd get an answer. :P

2. You can't.

Hmmm, methinks someone might be looking to get around a region-delayed release date for an upcoming game.

Shhh they'll hear you...
No I'm new to GOG and I'm curious about multiple features.

The country question:
Just in case someone takes Trump seriously and thinks Belgium is a hell hole I can hide it any time :-)

The banning question:
I have posted on games' forum where your account could get deleted and you would lose access to your account and games.
