Welcome back. You missed some great threads. Some questions:

Is linking to mods that are not publicly available allowed?
- That is, a mod that is hosted on a private server and direct-linked, but not hosted on a webpage or otherwise advertised.

Are mods that change the appearance of characters in a game allowed?

Are mods that change the names of places allowed?

Are Russian mods allowed?

Is constantly using new user accounts controlled by the same user allowed?
- In particular, to troll other people and spread false information

We don't want overly harsh moderation (especially as you have done a few things recently to put our backs up) but a few pointers would help immensely.

Not false information...i've lost access to my account(temporarily, maybe permanently) including my game shelf. Ngl, have all games downloaded but cannot obviously gain access to future updates or new copies if my old ones get corrupted.

That aside, gonna move on so as not to derail this thread.

I hardly ever log into my old main, except to buy new games or DL updates. Can't log in, says incorrect password, despite typing it in correctly or changing it and then using the new password. Pair that with the email from staff saying they'd do it soon...
(aside: despite seeming like a troll I try not to troll anyone except in reply to other trolls that never seem to get moderated, apologies to all the actually decent users who have to wade through it all)

Do what soon?

Are you looking for sympathy? I don't know how many games you have but if you value your collection I reckon you could probably negotiate access to your library in return for an agreement to stop trolling.

You are the definition of why companies have the "for any reason" clause.

Even so, if you apologise and agree to stop trolling, I'm sure GOG will restore your account if not your forum account.

You know why i'm on alts right now and not on my main? Because after my last temp ban (during which time I was catching several months long bans for things like 'offtopic' for things like daring to say hi to someone and chatting with them a tiny bit alongside posting ontopic) gog promised to mod fairly for shorter periods.

Then a few months later they banned me again for over a month when I civilly pointed out the delisting trend in delisting threads last year and staff took it personally. Add to this wonderful users like foad/Vain/etc derail with politics and ranting and never seem to catch a ban no matter how many reports people file. Now can you see why I hesitate to go such a route and post as I do?

If gog wants users (including myself) to behave and post within their ruleset, they need to moderate fairly and evenly.
(if you're ever curious or bored, go look back at my posts from years back before I had to use alts. Note the differences)

You've successfully avoided your ban, and yet, most of what you post contravenes the forum rules.

Doesn't seem like a good strategy to regain access to your main account.

As I said, real contrition and stopping your trolling mightr lead to your main account being reactivated (most companies don't want that legal drama) but you are not doing yourself any favours atm.
Wait, I'm totally out of loop.
Atleast two threads about same topic, could someone give me a quick run through? Especially the account/game access sounds worrisome.

Account/game access issue is due to one person:

The mod issue is more complex.

Over the past several years gog staff (mainly out of personal grudges held against me for not posting 100% as they'd like and holding opinions they disagree with on certain issues) have temp banned me every now and then. Over time they increased said bans(to 2-4 month terms for things like 'offtopic"), even despite long periods of me 'behaving" as they'd like.

They then agreed with me to mod me fairly for shorter periods before temp banning me again a month later for pointing out the delisting trend last year and a couple silly meme videos I posted around that time. Since I dared use an alt out of frustration to post anyways they banned my main from the forums. So I used alt after alt until now when they took the game shelf on my main account away.
