GOG clearly doesn't support gifting here... heck, even threads that gift GOG codes aren't moderated! Come over to SG and at least you can gift freely, up your level without losing "rep" and level up to have a better chance of winning GA's.

For those of you gifting your extra, unwanted Steam keys, at least stop dropping them here without some kind of system in place to ensure they aren't going to NES-alt accounts that will just trade them.... At least stop dropping free-range codes that any bot can pick-up and redeem on alt-Steam accounts that are then resold.

Seriously people, get a clue. GOG has become a major magnet for scammers and leechers. Sad day for the Momo to say this but buy your drm-free games here but find another place to off-load your extra Steam codes.... at least get some "rep" for them over on SG. :-)

Yup.

This isn't going to end well.

I hardly ever gift cretins to people -- nobody wants them. :(

GOG really does need to find a way to stop all these alt-accounts and bots from popping up all over the place.

Add white wine and sugar and you can make a really delicious sauce though...

But yeah, I have to agree with Momo on this. Steam codes should probably go through Steam Gifts. Far easier to weed out the scammers that way.

Would it kill GOG to just boot a few of these assholes? The obvious one's at least. Shit, NES and his clones are so bold they come in here and admit they/he/it are doing it because they know the site won't do shit to stop him.

We wouldn't even need mods for that, and god knows I don't want mods.

StarGate-1?!

If you contact support they'll just ask you to nicely talk things out with the scammers. So please stop expecting them to get you out of trouble. They're not responsible for this site/forum or anything that goes on in it. It's no man's land until something important comes up, like that "baba find love 1-777-xxx-xxx" spammer. Now THAT is a real threat to everything we hold dear. But anything else is just everyone being children and you should just all grow up.

I know. I've contacted them several times.

I'll actually agree with past comments made by people like hedwards and say that, IMHO, a lot of the blame comes from people who still drop naked or barely obfuscated Steam keys and gift codes as if it were still 2008. If people were more responsible about adhering to things like TBBBOB and MAHAYO, I think that things wouldn't be as bad as they are now.

But that's also hand in hand with GOG's web team continuing to ignore the myriad problems raised with the forum, and support even helping scammers by helping them change their usernames. I understand that the support team doesn't know what the web team is doing and they may not even pay attention to the forums, but when people are admitting to screwing over others in public on the forum, it doesn't look good when you don't even bother to do at least some cursory looking into people requesting a username change.

Add to this the people who would scream bloody murder and censorship at even the mention of moderation on the forums (with laissez-faire mod practices even touted as a feature of your forum community), and you have a company who even may have an incentive to not care about their forum community.

Have you tried writing in korean?

That reminded me, I have a bunch of unwanted Steam keys from Humble Bundles I should get rid of/give away. How should I go about doing that? Should I create a .png picture of some of them and upload the picture on the Steam Gifts thread (link please), or what

I figure it's better to give them away for people to play than just have them rotting in my account.

No but I tried writing in a Korean once.

It was too dark too see the paper.

Here, I'd take a few!

... Oh, wait. I thought you were talking about gratins.
