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. :(

SR claim they have that search thingy which shows if a review has been copied from another source. Maybe they should activate it soon.

Does anyone think that I am unable of writing a good post? Be honest now.

Also dueto the bugs on MSN have any of you seen the light and got YM. I use it so you can talk to me through it.

But the things which have won GAD are bloody amazing!!! Stars would be awarded to them left right and centre!! Maybe it is time to just stop reviews winning GADs altogether!!!

Cheers for that Bonus (I'll give you the cash later ;)

Anyway, good points... but how can they be stopped? Forum moderation is too controversial. Limitting newbie posts will slow GAD down. And hence, the only suggestion that I have come up with time and time again is my star points system! Reward good posts with a point, bad posts with a negative point

Vottanator, I'm on about newbies who you can tell couldn't write a decent article if they tried, it is fairly easy to tell a difference in writing styles. Some times it isn't probably why Game won with his, it read like something he could write!!
