The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
I am FED up of cheats winning gameaday AND filmaday - it is not my job to continuously hunt out the origin of the illegitimate winning post or review - i.e not written by the reviewer - and email gameaday - Ali, Tony or Joe, about how it was copied, please select another winner.
It absolutely infuriates me so much that I could roar a sweaty breath of fire and lightning, in this heated inferno that is the cheating GAD attemptor.
FROGMAN? Time Warp informs us of his cheating ways. But many have gone down that path before him.
It's not the fact that you're blatantly trying to win without even doing any work - it's the fact that YOU'RE RIPPING SOMEONE ELSE OFF - I would kick the waste out of someone who copied one of my reviews - if they won with one of mine? They'd better not.
I, as many do, write my own reviews, my own posts and I DETEST the way people are winning with other people's talent.
So why does it continue? WHY!?
COME ON SPECIAL RESERVE. You say you have a searching thing in place, USE it.
I for one am considering leaving the site because of these dirty cheats. Some actually have the nerve to claim. The guilt they must be feeling, I pity, despise, and spit a vlugar backwash at them.
Your views? NOW?

Um, what does this have to do with either me, or my babies? ;-)
I do think it's a bit out of order that people can try to get away with copying reviews from other websites and claiming them as there own, to me it's like stealing their work.
And it's working.

You still don't get it do you?
I don't care WHAT WINS GAMEADAY as long as it's your own work - hence I am complaining that people are CHEATING and winning - NOT submitting cheats - are you winding me up intentionally? Or just being plane daft.

Lots and lots of people submitting cheats, winning and getting their mate to register and post, which means a probable chance of increased sales for SR.
And people posting subjects because they are interested in the topic and want to swap ideas and info.

Nope.
And the other part of my post was that I have heard you threatening to leave here.

If you're that unhappy, if you feel so hard done by and so outraged that cheat posters win, leave.
Stick to your principles and leave instead of threatening to.
I am not complaining that I haven't won instead of this geek, I am annoyed that people are getting away with it, casually claiming their prize, and nothing being done about it. The way Goatboy seems to want things.
So what do you vote?
Vote with me - Don't let people who win for other people's work get away with it.
Vote with Goatboy - don't care if they win, just let them have the prize that someone else deserves.
