After I stumbled upon Games GAD i found it quite amusing, but also was worried that it may cause some untruthful GAD attempts from all corners. What have I uncovered, a seedy trail of GAD winners who I do not believe for a second have the articulate prowess to write a proper sentence never minad a coherent argument or review!!!
Kermitboy, sorry to do this but, I think SR may wish to read this review http://www.gamezone.com/ gamesell/p11761.htm. You may find it is word for word exactly the same as Kermitboy's!!! Casa Nova has also written a good review of Extermination, but again I am highly suspicious and if anyone knows where the original can be found, post it.
I am all for the freedom of speech etc. but I am not willing to sit back and watch decent articles written by the likes of DAN2K1, not win because of people blatantly cheating. I know Game didn't do this, and SR made the mistake on that one, but the reviews are beyond the joke. Just read a few of them, especially by newbies and very few are capable of such a professional standard!!
I am shocked and appauled that such a decent scheme is being so blatanty ripped off by these vultures and I am quite sure SR will feel the same. Decent honest people put hours into writing really good posts and thene inarticulate wasters come along and use the copy and paste function to get a free game!!!
I am truely disheartened!!!
Bonus. :(

"not willing to sit back and watch decent articles written by the likes of DAN2K1, not win because of people blatantly cheating."
Agreed. That's the main problem really... Game winning was a mistake yes, but their were obviously more deserving people that day, and they should be noted.
However if they say in the message they copied it from a particular source then that's fine as long as that message doesn't count for Gameaday.
Bonus, knowing most of the UKdiscussions members, they'll just tell you to either 'Zippit'-Sniper, or tell you to ignore it, or 'you'll have to live with it', etc.
no one will take notice of these messages but it wont be any fault of your own. It's because of the single minded cellective. They used to be called the Borg, but here they are called UKchatforums members!
I think if cheating is going to conitnue like this, then the only way to weed it out is to ban reviews from GAD, or only award GADs after a few days looking into the post has been undertaken!!
Kermitboy is a cheat too? You should send an email to Special Reserve.
I located Daz10 as a cheat and he has subsequently been banned. Also another person - I think 'Simpo' had copied some reviews.

Agreance rules.
Sorry!
Anyway... people have always won for cheating... I don't think it should happen but it does. We should have an EXTRA EXTRA GAD for the best solution to prevent, and deal with, cheaters.
Pervertion is better than a cure! I think maybe we should encourage people to write good reviews and offer help on spelling and grammar etc.
It's a long shot, but quality would be increased and a new benchmark for all members could be set!
