ᛞᚨᚱᚹᛟᚾᛞ: I don't like that GOG doesn't have automatic thread locks for ancient threads.
I don't like how people keep finding threads from 2015 and before with such ease. This thread is from
2014, and was over
600 days buried before someone decided to exhume it.
I do. Don't see why "necroing" is even frowned upon, not to mention desired to be banned. And old threads can still be useful, and additions may be made to them, or they can just be brought back into attention if still relevant.
ᛞᚨᚱᚹᛟᚾᛞ: I don't like how the dark and light theme are half implemented, and are "slightly dark" and "Blindingly bright".
The bright is hardly blinding. Wouldn't even call it truly light, and it's not called like that in the settings either. It's not white, after all.
ᛞᚨᚱᚹᛟᚾᛞ: I don't like how clumsy editing posts is.
Don't really see a problem there.
ᛞᚨᚱᚹᛟᚾᛞ: I don't like the lack of tables, bulleted lists, spoilers, inline images, tables, or features that most BBcode forums have had since around 2001 or earlier.
You wrote tables twice. Spoiler tags would be useful, yes, and maybe bullet lists too, though you can easily do those yourself. Tables could also be useful in some cases, but can do without I guess. Definite no for inline images though.
ᛞᚨᚱᚹᛟᚾᛞ: I don't like the use of external bureaucracy in order to deal with reporting.
I don't like the abject lack of clarity on many of the policies here.
Indeed, with you on these.
ᛞᚨᚱᚹᛟᚾᛞ: I don't like how display name is connected to account name.
Fair enough.
ᛞᚨᚱᚹᛟᚾᛞ: nor do I enjoy the one month wait between changing usernames.
I consider it far too little. Question the whole concept of changing usernames in itself, should at most be something only done under special circumstances, requests judged on a case by case basis by admins, not just user choice, whenever they feel like it.
ᛞᚨᚱᚹᛟᚾᛞ: I don't like how GOG hasn't even taken the most basic step of requiring one game on file in order to post on the fourms, neatly sealing away the spambots and GPTbots in a rice cooker. There are free games, it wouldn't be gatekeeping.
It would be gatekeeping. The forum should be the forum, a place for discussions, not tied to one's library in any way. And if free games would count, bots could easily get those and be allowed in anyway.
ᛞᚨᚱᚹᛟᚾᛞ: I don't like how worthless the profiles turned out to be. No index of reviews, no guides, no curators/GOGmixes, no wishlist entries...wouldn't it be nice for users to provide FAQs to other users and help them though games?
Oh, a lot of things would be nice. But seems to me like profiles were another idea that was dropped along the way... Or just left as something tacked onto Galaxy...
ᛞᚨᚱᚹᛟᚾᛞ: I don't like how NSFW discussions are allegedly verboten, but that isn't really helpful if NSFW games are going to keep releasing into an ungated area of the forum where everyone (including children) can see them.
Also find that ban ridiculous, seeing as the store carries such games. Don't want to have them restricted automatically, or even by default, though. Having settings to hide certain games and game types would be handy, yes, but only if they'd apply to all/any types.
Gah, took just seconds too long to have the posts merge.
Don't like that you can't delete your own posts.
Don't like the lack of a function to quote multiple posts automatically. (Can do it manually, but there's no notification in that case.)
