Catventurer: Maybe GOG should have a requirement of having actually purchased something from the site before being able to post. Some other storefront has this requirement to be able to post on its site, and nobody complains about it. I think that the people who actually purchase games here would appreciate the forums being for us and not bots.
How would you tell apart legit users, from spambots, where both drawn to GOG by a freebie, and that freebie is all they have?
Since it's free, they haven't purchased anything.
Because it's free, the bots get access through the paywall without any need to pay anything.
