bmihoric: Hi,
I'd like to bring attention to users like liltimmypoccet who post 'reviews' of games (e.g. see
https://www.gog.com/game/kindred_spirits_on_the_roof_full_chorus). In these reviews, they spill nothing but hate and insult. Now, I don't know what this person's problem is. Maybe they've been abused in their sad life, maybe they only forget to take their pills. Who knows.
My point is, why does gog allow this?
Yes, free speech is important. Being able to express honest opinion is important.
However, if you'll pay close attention, our Timmy isn't writing about the game. This person is directly (and brutally) insulting anyone who has, does, or will, play the mentioned game. Does repeatedly so, too.
Now, Gog... why don't you try to do something so your users don't have to take this kind of insulting and then try to pretend 'everything's ok'?
If nothing else (and it really would be just the minimum of what you can do), you could add a special collapsed section for low rated reviews, so that only users who *really* want to read garbage like that can click and open it. I know I won't.
Best you can do, is report it. I dont support pedophilia either but his comment was very sadistic and not real criticism whatsoever.
chandra: The review is now removed, sorry it took us a while but thanks for bringing this to our attention.
You can always contact GOG Support or PM me in similar cases, we'll always do our best to deal with it as fast as possible.
Thanks for the fast response, Chandra.
