I'm down at least 10 this week. Nothing unusual. They can't show face and tell you why they're doing it. Cowards.

de-repping shit.Unlike most of you I'm proud of my rep[..]
This is an attack on myself and the only way I see it stopping is to ask Gog to DELETE
my account

We know that you're a good gogger and a rep fix is in progress.
Keep your damn account, stay here with us and don't get mad! :P
I'd love to stay Zorro,but I'm sick of the snakes in the grass.
Would not if resolve, at least reduce the problem if upvoting/downvoting would been disabled for any user that do not at least have 15 rep?

I know that until your account rep is not something like 10, you can't post link, why not extend something like that for voting too?

Would stop scammers that make various zombies account only to upvote their main one at least......

I honestly think the rep is being abused by a lot higher than that.

GOG should get rid of the rep system already so we can all go back to talking about games and noone needs to get upset about random trolls trying to hurt their feelings. Whether you gained all your rep by being helpful or just by being a smartass forum junkie - noone will be able to tell the difference anyway. If I could give away any of my rep, I would (because that would make me look like a wonderful human being and boost my ego!). Or better yet, I'd try to trade it in for Witcher 3, GTA IV and Team Fortress keys (whatever that is). :P
Please don't let that get to you, gunsynd. You're just giving those guys precisely the reaction they wanted from you.
I understand rep means a lot to you so just keep building it up and fighting the snakes until a solution is provided.

That's not a bad idea trading rep for games:-)

Gog have gone asleep on this one and I doubt they actually care.

Wow. Sorry you're letting an imaginary number destroy your enjoyment of a generally good community. I've been up and down in Rep but honestly, as long as it doesn't affect my ability to post, or the contents of what I can post, there's no problem for me.

Yeah but your rep bounces like hyperactive kids in a bouncy castle; and has done for at least a year and more. If you had any shits to give they'd be all over the floor and walls XD

Respectfully what is the point of 'rep' if people will resort to this when bumped down? I know uncool things happen, but that's part of a socially driven system - you win some you lose some. I didn't but was tempted to down-rep this original post because it doesn't seem constructive (but instead +1'ed it out of sympathy to help gunsynd's rep problem). You can't take a blow then demand administrators fix it; figure out what went wrong and earn your rep (or not).

Maybe I "don't get" it, either way best wishes accomplishing what you're going for.

Getting rid of it isn't really necessary, but they do need to limit the number of opportunities you get. Soylent News gives you 5 a day. You have to have positive karma and be there for at least a month, but having a limited number of points to spend cuts down on abuse quite a bit.

Or they could pay attention to who is doing all the moderating. Most of the abuse is coming from accounts that aren't buying things and aren't participating at all in forum life. Barring accounts that aren't actively posting in any thread would go a long way towards cutting down on the abuse as well.

I'm sure there are other solutions to the problem, but at present gOg doesn't seem terribly interested in fixing the forum.
