Nevermind. Silly me. Didn't know one's rep was still visible in one's forum settings (https://www.gog.com/forum/mysettings).

Please ignore the rest (left here for posterity).

===================================================================================

While I'm sure many people will celebrate GOG's recent decision to hide users' rep, while continuing to allow people and alt-people to up- and down-vote posts as they please, the loss of the rep system does have a sad side-effect. As already mentioned by others, the rep --- whether positive or negative --- was a useful indicator of forum activity.

To give one example, if one wanted to create a giveaway, but wished the key to go to an active forum user, seeing a +507 or a -507 (for example) was a fairly good indicator that that user indeed was very active (or at least used to be).

To try to offset this side-effect, I thought we might collect each user's "Last Recorded Rep" (LRR) here.

If you want your LRR recorded here:
1) Go to your forum page (https://www.gog.com/forum) and identify a couple of threads that you have posted in fairly recently (e.g. a few days ago).
2) Go to the Wayback Machine (https://web.archive.org/).
3) Search for each of the threads from (1) there, until you find one with a recent snapshot containing a post of yours in it with the rep still visible (i.e. before 5 July 2022).
4) Post the link here (the link will contain two https:// --- remove the second one so as not confuse GOG).
5) Since such a link contains multiple posts, we will have your LRR as well as other people's.

I will list LRRs below.

If you don't want your LRR listed, let me know and I will remove it from the list.

Here is a sample link, listing my LRR, as well as a few others':

Last Recorded Rep
MasterofFiction: 132
mrkgnao: 3916
pkk234: 1136
Wottie: 161

My last recorded Rep was 1715, but I guess it doesn't matter anymore. :)
.

EDIT:

If you go into " My Settings" up above on the right side of this page. You can get your total earned Reputation. Screenshot below.
.

EDIT 2:

I uploaded a new one to show me logged in with my used name at the top.
.

While I, of course, trust you, please post a link to the Wayback Machine, so that we have a cumulative record for you and for other people visible in that link as well.

Just posted an update for people to find their rep. :)
.

Oops. Didn't know about that. Forget it, in that case.

Your idea is still a good one, gives people more options. :)

Also, people can use your thread to have a running list of last recorded Rep, as long as they attach a screenshot. And there are no personal info in the screenshots, so it should be fine.

And it may still be recordings it in the settings even if we can't see it in the open, since I think the day before, mine was 1715 and now it's 1717. Since typically you can only earn 1 per day w/o any high rated posts.
.

You still deserve credits for pointing out the Wayback Machine website.

Completely agree. :)

I'm also going to high rate the OP post to see if the Rep count still goes up in the "My Settings" page. So if others want to help to test this, that would be great!
. If you're interested in maintaining it, I think many of us would encourage and support the effort. :)

It's a quick snapshot by a trusted member of the GOG community!
.

Well, my Rep went down by 6 points, so at least we know it's still working in the background! LOL
.

It's nice to see that nothing has really changed on GOG, judging by the colour of all the posts in this thread. ;^)

Oh yes, if you go to "my settings" you can still see it, and it keeps shifting. GOG just made it invisible, that's all, yet another of their usual half-arsed solutions that benefits no one -except trolls, now hiding their negative thousand points.

I think I must have lost more than 2000 rep by now (I was at 1127 last time).

So yeah, good going GOG, just keep on sweeping dust under the carpet and never address actual issues, like, I don't know, PERMANENTLY banning recurring abusers or bar bots from posting.

as far as i know I had the most reps
I think it was +25152 or around that

My rep (as of now) is 1507 Ahhh, and i also see how to change my title too... Thanks. I'd searched my settings under the main gog and could never find this. There should be a shortcut for forum settings too...

edit: Everyone has a low rating on this thread. Bots are hard at work...

It seems every thread mentioning removal of rep system has all it's posts downvoted recently. Seems to me like GOG stirred up a hornets' nest.

In which case, yes GoG should totally disable the rep system. Then they will whine and seethe and gnash their teeth.... and then disappear with seemingly barely a whimper.

Then they might possibly (say in a year) bring it back in some less abusive way,
