Vainamoinen: Pizzagate, man. Pizzagate.
I'm getting pizza tonight.

I'm getting stuffed crust, so cheesy and stuffy.

MaGo72: in my opinion Infowars is not that bad when you do look at the topic or presented fact alone, without paying attention to the ramblings and tantrums of Alex Jones or the other presenters around them. They do deliver topics which other "news" often do not touch.

Vainamoinen: "Presented fact"? Wha...?

Well look at Great Britain, it is not unheard of such stuff in the political ruling elite.

I do not concur with the already made conclusion, but coincidental facts exist that point to something going on there.

Actually I'd refer to the Matthew hurricane after it hit Haiti, which the news totally ignored... Bet you forgot about that.

Gee I wonder why, couldn't be because the Clintons collected billions to help rebuild and help Haiti, and they'd have to cover how much... hospitality the Clinton Foundation bestowed on Haiti.

Although PIzzaGate is another interesting topic they are trying to sweep under the rug.

I sense one-sidedness. I'm guessing you read and believe the subreddit was rightfully removed for hatspeech?

Never heard that expression.

You British are so polite, here we don't wear hats, we say talking through your arse.

htown1980: I was just wondering how people feel about this infowars thread that rtcvb32 continues to post in.

According to my google search spam is:

irrelevant or unsolicited messages sent over the Internet, typically to large numbers of users, for the purposes of advertising, phishing, spreading malware, etc.

It seems to me that nobody, other than rtcvb32, really cares about that thread. rtcvb32 is just about the only person who posts anything on topic.

The thread seems to be intended to be some kind of advertisement for infowars, it seems to be irrelevant and unsolicited, is it not spam?

The effect of having that thread ongoing is that there is one less topic in the first page when I check the old "General Discussion" topic. Its not a big deal but it seems like there is no reason for rtcvb32 to just continually post about his irrelevant pet topic on a games website when literally nobody else seems to care on contribute.
I consider it spam and have reported it as such on several occasions.

I have now decided that I will not consider it as such any longer and simply ignore rtcvb32 from now on (completely) and here's why:

rtcvb32 peers' have repeatedly told him in detail why what he is doing is less than constructive.

He is unable to accept this. I seriously doubt for example that he is providing such spam links to the service that GOG provides on the infowars forum. That will be because his peers there will equally say what everyone is saying here: It is completely irrelevant to the forum being posted on and has no relevant meaning therein.

I believe that rtcvb32 will continue to post his links here and I will continue to ignore them. I hope others will too. Note that even the existence of this thread has some how entitled him to spout even more of his dubious claims.

Personally speaking I believe that rtcvb32 has serious mental health issues which he is trying to vent here. The community has tried to tell him that he has passed all etiquette to no avail. I should point out that there is absolutely nothing to be gained in trying to convince someone with these kinds of issues until they recognise their own behaviour.

I say let him continue and hope he either gets bored of it, breaks spam rules or seeks professional help.

Kleetus: And had you done that from the start it wouldn't be an issue and there'd be no need to report anything.

I don't get people who complain, if you don't like a member or their posts/threads, then don't click on them or read them.

Instead, and this isn't aimed at you, we get endless whiners who incessantly complain, all while posting and replying to the people they so detest.

Kleetus: I'm going to help him, it's what friends do for each other.

And he needs me more than ever since his wifey left him.
I had done that from the start, at least from my start and many others have tried too.

I understand you saying "if you don't like it don't read it it/turn it off" but there is nothing wrong with complaining. Complaints should be made in the correct manner and on a forum (and most other areas) that is done by complaining first hand directly to the person perceived as giving rise to the issue. Still I have tried, failed and decided the best course of action is to completely ignore. There is little alternative. Perhaps I and others could have ignored from the start- on a forum that is supposed to be about discussion that can be hard. Still wise words though and I fully intend to ignore rtcvb32 from now on.

Also, I applaud your intent to help anyone with major issues via a public forum though consider it misguided.

Does this mean I have to call back those two guys I hired to kill him and tell them the deal is off?

I think you've actually hit the nail on the head, Kleetus - this is the way GOG want people to use their company forum. It's a *chan-style experiment in free speech.

I understand that, and there was a time when I thought it was pretty cool. But after watching it play out, I don't think it actually works.

What really happens is that you attract trainwrecks like rtcvb, who wastes his days transposing the content of another website to the front page of your company forum. Or people like Tauto, who can't cope with other humans and logs in tirelessly every day for months solely to monosyllabically post again and again and again about how much he hates everybody in your forum community.

Eventually, fucked up individuals like these will drive everybody else away, and all that's left is a mess of crazy and inadequate people who don't give a fuck about your company, or gaming, or drm-free, or anything but their own messed-up issues.

The forum won't be any use to anybody then, apart from the occasional bored troll who likes to vape a bud and toy with weak, easy targets for cheap amusement when they get bored of getting their dog to lick their balls. No offence meant to you on that last part.
