The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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?
However.

You are constantly moaning and whining about GAD.
Stop it, please.
You've won more than most, quit your yapping and post because you want to.
I dont care who wins what and why.
Got that?
Good. Who cares if cheats win? Of course they're copied. Nobody here has EVER discovered a cheat of their own, so they are all copied.
These prizes are awarded to increase and maintain traffic and activity around this web site.
So, if cheats bring in more surfers, they'll award the GAD to cheat posters.
It's business, they dont give free stuff away because they have a surplus of games laying around the place.
Jesus Christ, can everyone just shut up with the moaning and crying like little kids.
This is the ONLY forum that gives you stuff, and I post of loads of other forums that dont.
Why?
Because I enjoy swapping info and stories with people.
If you are here for any other reason, shame on you.
You're probably the same people that get in line for the lottery and make me take 10 minutes to pay for my petrol and fags.
"I want free stuff! Why didnt I win free stuff?!?!"
Dan, mate, you have threatened to leave a lot.
So what? This place will continue to exist whether you're here or not, whether I'm here or not.
Stop being such a big kid and get on with life.
There are more important issues out there than free games.
Ok, I felt the need to rant and I have done.
I'm going to another forum today where people act like adults.
Speak to you later.

I must say that I thought the name was quite similar to the other recent cheater Kermitboybut I couldn't be bothered to point it out.
To be honest nothing can be done to stop cheating short of hunting them down and shooting a harpoon through their backs, any would-be assasins out there? :D
To steal someone elses work, something they have put a lot of time and energy into, is just plain wrong.
I think we need to have visible rules on what to do to report a copied post or review, rather than simply posting our gripes here - the game may have been claimed and shipped by the time someone gets the chance to read our complaints.
But I can see the benefit of SR having a large cheats database - as in game cheats - it will bring more people to the site, therefore it is quite fair that people can win a GAD for improving SR's cheat database.
From the changes in GAD and FAD it seems quite apparent that they wish for the cheats database to grow further, and I imagine changes are on their way in the way reviews are shown too.
For instance, rather than customer reviews being listed by date, could they not be given a usefulness rating? This way consumers won't have to read the likes of:
"Yeah this game rocks! Its the total bestest of the series and the best wreastlin game out for Nintendo, you can do the Rocks bottom, and people Elbow and all the top moves! bUY THIS GAME NOW!"
As that wouldn't be considered to be of much use, but a review by, say pb or Dan2k1 would be near the top, having been voted a useful review....
Dan, no i'm not. Are you? Why do you ask?
God, don't take life so seriously. It's ten past one in the morning, there's me, you and occasionally someone who's passing here, so just chill out and have a laugh, you'd like it.
