"A Formal Apology To Mr Snuggly"

On the "What's happening with Gameaday topic," I lost my temper when a little when finding out that cheats had won-when I was hoping to win for a review of Red Faction I'd written.

I'm very sorry for getting so angry. I've been here long enough to know the rules, and I shouldn't complain.

Anyway, the main reason was that I just hope people aren't winning for copying key combinations onto SR from sites such as SR.

I don't mind people winning for tips, or cheats they've found themselves. Of course, we don't know if they're copied or not-which is why I am apologizing.

Sorry Mr Snuggly!

Thanks for reading, Ant.

MESSAGE TO EVERYBODY:

In the future, please don't post e-mails that I send to you on the forums, they are meant to be personal. This is not just aimed at you Dan, a few people have done this and it's a bit of an invasion of privacy so please don't do it again. If you think I'm covering my tracks, you're wrong, because I don't have any tracks to cover.

I don't want any favours - I want a suspicions forum!!

Ali's conflictng statements made me slightly annoyed.

Sieve - forgetful, one statement disappeared through it, the other was larger and didn't.

Who the hell is Loki.....oh hes a staff newbie....never mind.

Hm, brain like a sieve maybe? Its a bit far away from the argument at hand, I can think of much better ones like.

*Tony raises his hand*

Ok, Ok !

Dan, you called Mr Suggly a "sieve"?

What a bizarre insult. Does it have any special meaning?

Wahay! The forums are alive with arguments once more!

We have no objection to you informing us about cheating on the forums, in fact we welcome it and try very hard to make sure that everyone has a fair cahnce of winning.

However, there have been a number of occassions recently when people have acted unreasonably over this issue. For example, emailing Gameaday to let us know of possible problems late at night and then criticising us on the forums when we have not responded immediately. We do have homes to go to as well.

In a recent example, you led a campaign of abuse directed against a member of the forums when they were accused of cheating with no proof whatsoever. You then shouted at SR staff (WAKE UP SPECIAL RESERVE) for letting this through, despite the fact that we did put the review through a few search engines and did not find it to be copied. A number of other users also searched for the review to no avail. This did not stop your suspicions and criticisms running away with you, to the detriment of the friendly atmosphere we have tried to create on the forums.

We have a livlely and fun discussions board where you have been fortunate enough to win a number of prizes. Please relax and try to enjoy it. We do take cheating seriously and welcome your help in informing us but please take a more reasonable approach.

Also, going round calling Mr Snuggly a sieve (and why you would want to do that is beyond me) isn't going to do you any favours. Watch it.

C'mon Ali, you know I was not having a personal dig at anyone other than the scum that cheat and the situation, but the email did conflict completely with your sentiments. I am not suggesting that you sit on a chair all day watching the hours fly by until it's tim to select a winner - nor am I suggesting that you are a slacker, I am suggesting though that in case of someone finding out that a winner has cheated, then there be an appropriate forum for members to leave a line - i.e. a 'SUSPICIONS' forum, that way if no one replies to your email, then people can post in the appropriate place, as there is not one at present, and the forum will be happier, whip free and back on the topic of the future of gaming.

I do not bear a grudge against Special Reserve, I work hard myself, and if you want to read my review (oh yeah, you've already read it), it's in the FOG Prime - not the original message, about the second page. Nothing but praise.

Thanks for your time.

Dan

Oh, you know what happens when you give Dan a whip!

I would love to work at Special Reserve choosing GAD's and FAD's, but it does sound like hard work!
