I think one of the sub section admins here at GOG has done something to my account that has caused me to receive a notification every time I log in but it says I haven't participated in any topics lately, though I have, so I know who the admin is and what sub forum, who do you contact to deal with unnecessary and malicious administration?
It's a well know and very old forum bug. If you have a notification in a thread that was deleted (and maybe even locked I am not sure) then the notification will remain basically forever.

The Persistent Purple Dot is a well known forum bug that affects everyone. To get rid of it:-

1. Press F12 in your browser
2. Click on "Console" and paste the following line into the area you type then press Enter:-

angular.element(document.body).injector().get('menuNotificationsRepository').deleteAllNotifications();

That gets rid of it for many (at least until the next time someone replies to you).

AB2012: angular.element(document.body).injector().get('menuNotificationsRepository').deleteAllNotificati ons();

That gets rid of it for many (at least until the next time someone replies to you).
If you are lucky. When I do this, it comes back within a minute even without someone replying.
Welcome to the club. That dot is here to stay.
