Aw the Michael Scott school of management.

Take responsibility for everything good and shift blame of everything negative.

Office reference FTW

What an amazing point...kinda depends though, since our handles usually are recognisable to those who know us in real life, even if they can't be sure without checking that it's us...especially if someone posts "Well I work for GW, and I'm rubbish at customer service, I hate people, and wish children would die blah blah blah" you could bet your ass GW would track that person down. I'm fairly certain DakkaDakka would be forced to reveal your email address, and from that it's usually very easy to get a name, and that's all they need. And if you're the evilsponge of
"Lots of you might think that it's starcraft because it had everything needed to make a good RTS. Think about it. How many PC gamers haven't heard of it. I'm guessing 1, maybe 2? That is what everyone thinks, but I like Company of Heroes better for it's attention to detail like, hitting rear armour=more damage. Sure, SC is much older than COH and that it isn't fair, but COH is just as fun as SC. Maybe not as fast paced, but definetly just as fun as SC. Sorry for SC fans, I really am :( "
from Gametrailers.com then it really wouldn't be too hard to find you through Google. For example.

EDIT: And, to be clear, I don't work for GW.

lol nice try:

no that isn't me, i don't go to gamestrailers let alone have an account there. So you can drop the big brother paranoia. The only people who get caught bad mouthing their employers are the dumb dumbs who do it on their myspace page or facebook.

Why on earth would Dakkdakka have to reveal an E-Mail address? On what grounds could GW ever demand it? Not because a suspected employee is slagging them off, that's for sure.

**H.B.M.C.**

Seriously, what the feth is this thread about now?

**jackinthetank**

Good point, H.B.M.C- I think people are still ranting about GW staff.

**ungulateman**

I see what you did there.

Obviously the internet police would have the forum surrounded within 20 minutes of a call from GW. Ever seen those guys in action? Terrifying. Results in a waaaa'mbulance every time.

Office reference fail. That's the David Brent school of management.

Dakka doesn't have to release anything, but if someone uses the same username on several boards or other online sites, (some of which don't hide email addresses by default), then it becomes relatively easy to track down a person and determine their identity.

HBMC said it as well as I could have.

This thread has wandered WAY off-topic. If you'd like to discuss GW's store policies (even further), please start a new thread.
