Sorry Kermitboy and Game, but I have revised my opinion and have come to a new conclusion. Their GADs should be taken away!!
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. :(

As it happens - how many people do you think actually copy reviews from other sources each day? My guess is 25% of all submitted.

Do you think that people will not be hunted down and unfairly scrutinised from now on?? Gaderators would be a way to prevent this as people can be assured that a cheat hasn't beat them!!!
Or do you have something to hide before you get Excitebike, RBS?? :P

You weren't here but when newbies used to come, win and then leave we all lauhed becuase there's was more than usually a copied piece.
Cheating has been going on for ages. Who cares? If you find the original, then fine, they should lose their GAD, bt if they don't then, tough cookie.

I can see exactly where Game is coming from, but surely cheating is doing more damage than gaderators would. Taking Dan2K1 for example, how would he react if he was to come second to a copied review?? He would go nuts!! Or cooooldude, what are his chances of winning with a review against a copied article?? Surely the essence of GAD is to reward people by contributing theor own opinions and views to the site, not someone else's!!
I don't think anything should be done. All this complining may discourage people from writing reviews at all.
I don't think they should stop Review of the day because then not many people would even write reviews, cheats or even be attracted to the site at all. This would possibly mean that the forum here could become deserted.

Exactly if you were to turn round a professional standard review I would be worried, but your chances of winning are greatly reduced if others are cheating in this way!!

GAMEADAY, contrary to popular thinking, isn't really a competition... it is more of an event... where people get together and have fun. People win games here and there.... they write reviews here and there, submit cheats and add to discussions...
If any of these GADERATOR thingy people are enforced, the whole site will die and it's roots will fade!

Age doesn't make a difference on these forums. It's what you post that counts. If age dfid make a difference then I wouldn't have won 2 FADs and 5 GADs. I'm 12.
