So it seems plaguerism rules again with the arrival of yet another idiot who thinks posting a review involves cutting and pasting from no less than 3 other reviews. Turkey if you are reading this, sort it out, not only did you copy half of my review you also stole some of Markrosman's and reffer's.

These were all reviews on the PS2 version of Crazy Taxi in case you were wondering. Not content with copying material Turkey was stupid enough to copy the most recent reviews so that it was blatantly obvious. Oh yeah and if that wasn't enough he stole my quite ingenious one liner: "It was released to good reviews and it was a very good game. A year on and it arrives on the PS2 more of a slightly batty mini-cab than a crazy taxi." Tony, can he be booted off for this?

He should be. That's just the lowest of the low.

It would be nice if some code could be added behind the reviews section to check if a certain percentage of a new review matches previous ones - say if 5-10% of the words appear in the same order in previous entries for that particular title.

May not be too easy to do, but prevent cut & paste to a large extent.

It was a poor joke not a way of showing of my IQ. Sarcasm doesn't really show through with the written word does it?
