Every, EVERY post of mine gets low repped no matter what and where I post, what say or do. What is this some sort of personal grudge? Thanking people, saying I didn't take a key, having conversation, I see my posts are orange. So what do you think I should do? Stop posting? I know rep is dead but most of the guys here still consider it before interacting with users and its not helping. And also it just plain sucks.
Any help?

I don't know, but you seem like a decent fellow, so I gave you a +1 rep if it helps. Good luck.

No idea. I think I've only seen a few of your posts, and I found nothing annoying. So for that reason, I've given your posts that I've seen +'s.

Me too. For a plus 1.

Forgive me if this offends, but I seem to notice that most Pakistani Users that I have seen are being Derepped alot. I don't know whether this is complete bigotry because not everyone here seems to be nice to everyone else so I don;t know whats really going on.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have a sneaking suspicion that racism may have a part to play in it.

Edit: Elmofongo seems to be thinking along the same lines.

If it's a xenophobic bot or a troll, probably too late by now. I was also thinking it's probably a bigoted troll/bot.

When I said just me and stg83, mr. troll did not like that.

I think it may be worth investigating, by the gog staff. If there is a systematic downrepping of people based on their country, it should show in their stats. Also, while rep isn't a big deal, it's still racist harrasment, and very much a no-no on GOG boards. It may not be verbal, but it has practical consequences (url posting, etc).

Also forgive the typo I meant everyone here seems to be nice.

The three things that will get you negative rep super fast:

1) Liking Steam, or even admitting it's popular.
2) Getting involved in social justice discussions either way.
3) Caring about rep to begin with.

I can't claim I'm seeing 100% of the picture, but from what I've seen, I think you brought that on yourself, at least partly. I don't think you're in a good position to ask for "official help" in this matter.

That said, down-repping posts with simple non-offensive questions is even more silly than the rep system itself is already. You know that I criticized you (quite harshly) for what I perceived as borderline scams in the TOHO thread. That didn't stop me from answering your question about game recommendations in a different thread. If I perceive scam attempts from you again, I will most probably address them in one form or another, but I see no reason why that should stop me from addressing friendly questions in a friendly manner.

Others might be less forgiving, you'll just have to bear it while it lasts. They will stop eventually unless you fuel their disdain with further misbehavior. Some people here have successfully changed from being annoying trolls to being valued community members, the GOG forums are probably one of the more forgiving places in the net. Still, it will take some effort. If you think that you did absolutely nothing to draw people's anger and that GOG's officials should protect you from downreps, then this effort might be going into the wrong direction, though.
