GazelleGames News - Rule Changes & New Staff
Hello GGn community! Over the past years, we've seen a lot of continued activity, with many new uploads every day. However, we felt that one of the main sources for new PC content, GOG, was subject to outdated rules. In order to improve the experience for both downloading and uploading GOG games, we're going to make some significant changes to these rules.
GOG Rule Changes
Starting today, only the files providing ingame content should be uploaded in a GOG main torrent as before. Other bonus content sold with the game (such as an OST or manual) should instead be uploaded in the new GameDOX -> GOG Goodies category. We hope that this change will make it easier for users to download games as well as save valuable space for everyone.
To prevent unnecessary trumping and the loss of uploads for our hard-working users, these changes have no retroactive effect. Any torrents uploaded before January 30th, 2019 will not be affected by these rule changes and will remain on site. To further prevent duplicate content, new torrents only containing GOG goodies may not be uploaded if the latest GOG version on site already has those goodies bundled.
A more detailed explanation with a complete list of rule changes can be found in the aptly named Rule & Wiki Changelog.
New Staff
With great pleasure we'd also like to introduce two new staff members. You may have already seen them around giving advice, checking off torrent groups, or keeping the forums clean and shiny. Please welcome our new Torrent Moderator ********* and our new Community Moderator *********. You will find them on the Staff Page and they are happy to help with any questions or concerns you might have.
We're still looking for PS4 and retro (DOS, Atari, etc.) TMs. If you are interested and believe you'd make a good candidate, please consider sending in your application. For more information on what is required and how to apply, please visit the latest TM Hiring thread.
With the growing activity and needs of the site also comes a lot of work behind the scenes to keep the servers running and to provide everyone the best experience. We'd like to announce our new administrator, Mandos, who is going to be extra dedicated in keeping our hamsters running and well hydrated.
