BitMaster_1980: Maybe you want to create a dedicated thread for that and instead of vomiting the same posts ... into each topic again and again,
Oh, I did "vomit" in every topic? Maybe start using your eyes and read what and how I posted. Sorry - I did not want to post here anymore but that is something I could not let pass since it is a plain lie!

And just fyi - such thread was already created by me a few months ago.

Generally, the issue is started by B1tF1ghter and then snowballs. You can take it personally if you want to but I just reread what I wrote and everything I said was as general as possible. I simply quoted you because you seemed to have the most difficulty seeing what exactly might be pissing people off here.

And still the same brain farts get trotted through each poor freebie thread again and again, so the essential second part of my suggestion appears to be missing.

Well, B1tF1ghter compleained about the marketing issue - I only complained about simply downvote post just because you disagree. So much for reading and understanding. Like I said multiple times, I am subsribed and I do understand why GOG is doing this (after PaterAlf explained this to me). As I also said, I don't share B1tF1ghters opinion regarding GOG and the newsletter but that for me is no reason to downvote him.

I made a thread about the problem of downvoting. Your talent of drawing wrong conclusions is remakable.

But anyway - that truly and honestly was my last word. Please read more careful next time before you are accusing people of things they did not do. Thank you and goodbye.

I don't really care what kind of pet peeves exactly are your problem. It often starts with B1tF1ghter re: marketing emails and then snowballs through an array of different topics. Not all freebie threads contain all of them and it's not always by the same actors but it's always repetitive (and offtopic).
Make your own thread about it somewhere where the people interested in it can go but limit it to a single post per poor original victim thread.

For some of us this is even more repetitive because when you have spent a few decades on the internet you have seen all of this so many times before. For example this is not my first rant against rating systems (they are common in forums with a more technical focus after all) and there are always some few railing against them while not understanding why most of the others consider the issue a feature, not a bug.
Thank you for the free game!
This is an off-topic post about the reputation system.

MarkoH01: Just hit the button - wow I am so strong, this guy didn't deserve it any better.
Not all of us use the "downvote" button as some power fantasy enabler ;)
Here I combine it with a couple uBlock origin filters:
www.gog.com##.post_list_space
www.gog.com##.small_post
www.gog.com##.b_u_rep_h
www.gog.com##.post_rate_red
What this does is that it really hides the post, not even leaving the « Comment buried. » toggle so that I can truly forget about said post. It makes it much easier to ignore messages that would otherwise trigger me into posting an angry answer.

In addition, the filters I shared hide the « low rated » comment added on some posts and the user reputation, registration date and location, to avoid some biases when reading heated discussions.

In the end, the only part of the reputation system I still see on these forums are the « high rated » comments.

i cant see slightest problem with exchanging freebie for agreement with little "spam" about games. anyway, each mailbox is daily getting bunch of it and about topics you dont ever care about..

am i worth downvoting just because of that?

so, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Wahh, I don't want to give gog my email address, but more importantly, I want everyone to know just how MAD I am.

You gave Gog your e-mail address on the day you have created the account.

MarkoH01: You see what happened? We are just talking, exchanging arguments which - while a bit OT - are not unimportant for several people and we discussed them really civil. Still not just mine but now also your post is downrated. That's the purest example of the rep system being harmful or at least unfair. If you google it first discussions here on GOG started in 2008! And yet still GOG did not change a thing.

Please don't reply - it will only lead to another post being downvoted as this will be and you don't deserve this. At those who donvoted because it was OT, don't worry, I've said all I had to say about this problematic and won't bother this thread no more.
Hey, I understand what you mean in your previous post, and it's clear there's some immaturity when it comes to the use of the downvoting system. It probably should be removed and only leaving up-votes available so it highlights the positive things people are saying instead.

I really don't mind if I get downvoted here with this post, because I always just state how I feel about something without caring what anyone else thinks. I know not everyone will share the same feelings I do though, but I did want to respond to your post.

Just know that I never downvoted any of your posts, and even though we might not agree with each other on things said, I still appreciate you spending time here to help people, or answer questions, or just have open dialogue with people in a healthy manner.
Thanks again!
Thank you, Funselektor and GOG. :)
Thanks for the giveaway!

Hopefully the Linux version will arrive soon.

REMEMBER to add up all your Drift Points at the end of each race

also I just want to hide the broken-record negativity, I'd be fine if rep wasn't affected.

Thanks GOG, I've put in a couple of hours and have been enjoying the heck out o it.

Should I get Art of Rally? It looks to have continued support and updates.
Also looks very pretty.
