DadJoke007: All these threads about the alleged financial troubles with GOG will give GOG financial troubles.
Spectre: Videogame presstitutes.
They were at it again with THQ because they held a Q&A at some place called 8chan instead of themselves or reddit.
sanscript: [1] Doesn't matter, it should have been removed a long time ago. Except in a sociological study you wouldn't need a feature like that. It would have made more sense if the they hid posts that get more than 10 downvotes but that's not the case here.
Spectre: [2] It would be more interesting to have a list stating who is giving the rep points.
[1] As for the suggestion to "automatically" hide a post with a particular accumulation of negative feedback, a bunch of sock puppets would be all that is needed for a strategic redaction of one person's disliked opinion.
Unfortunately, meta-gaming the system is the default cognitive response displayed by people who dislike a result it produces. ("Not my president,"say the undemocratic Democrats, after a popular vote goes against their wishes.)
[2] This is an interesting idea: transparency will do wonders for
crapflooding reviews to blacken the popularity of listed games. Just like the voting records of representatives in the US congress, if each (registered) vote is tallied, and summaries of voters preferences published (for other registered users to see only), this might help keep the system a little more honest.
Actually, each user's votes would need to be private, unless shared, and each particular game would list those who voted each way. That way, one could defray known trouble-makers, and also understand the voting pattern (according to the opinion of those who you dis/like);
e.g., there is a movie reviewer whose opinion I almost always disagree with, so whenever he posts a positive review I know that I will probably hate the movie. :D
