As shocking as it might sound there is a cheat among us and nothing has been done about it, for some of you, you might already know who I'm on about but for those of you who don't then the person I'm oh about is Shaneo.
Just a matter of weeks ago he copied a post by a top games writer and posted it into the forums in hope of winning GAD. But unfortunately for him FantasyMeister was here to bring justice to the forums and keep order. The actual quote it, "Steve Boxer is a freelance games writer. He writes a games column for the Daily Telegraph and also contributes to the industry games magazine CTW. He also contributes to magazines like Ministry, Arena, Ammo City, Muzik and The Evening Standard. He has also appeared on Newsbytes and Game Over".
He captured the culprit and made it clear to all of SR members that Shaneo was cheating. Even though it is an actual site that other people write their reviews just like this site, instead of professionals, www.dooyoo.co.uk, was another site that Shaneo has been copying from.
After posting a review it states that any copying from other sites will be removed and may result in a banning. So is there some exception to Shaneo? I hate to be rude but I feel this should be brought to the attention of SR. I was also wondering how you check if they're not copied because the thousands upon thousands of sites on the Internet that would supply you with a review would be adequate and possibly GAD worthy.
What can we do to stop this? Why come to this site in just the hope that you will win and that is the end of it? Really I think 99% of regulars and maybe even some newbies no longer do that, they come here for the opportunity to met other people, talk about gaming and most of all have a good time.
Sorry for being rude and offensive I just felt this should be brought to your attention.

LOL.
Admittedly it was a copy of a review that I had written for Ciao, but it was copied and pasted here no less.
But that's not cheating, it was my own work anyway!
How they do it??????
People who cheat on this site are desperate and I really hope they are satisfied with themselves if they get away with it too.
