The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
Now before reading this topic I am not on about they’re generous to all of its members with their great give aways and opportunities for everyone. I'm about to mention the sheer amount of cheating that happens right before your very eyes from actual members of this community.
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.

Dogfather why do you feel so seriously about this, was there really any need to write a whole topic singling out one of the members of the forum. Its got nothing to do with us, were not the ones giving the prizes away its up to Special Reserve, they will deal with it how they see fit. Okay so Shaneo copied a few articles, naughty boy but really is this topic actually needed didn't think so. How would you like it if a topic like this was written about you.
I'm ready to face the music :(. It would break me if I was banned.
we just leave it, just let SR sort it out.

I feel terrible. I can't find the words to explain it. I'm speechless at the moment.

You saying that 13 yr olds can't write good reviews? I'm not 13 myself, but hey.
If you're willing to explan you would have done so by now Shaneo. I think you have tried pulling the wool over our eyes far to many times now. You can try and delay it all you want but now is the time for you to explain yourself. It's OK anyway, you may have won a FAD under Scythian Witch-Harpy, but when they see what address it's going to then they will know who it's going to! I don't think you'll be banned though, you've copied once before and SR simply enforced the rules on you, they would have done it ages ago.
When you came to the site, did you look at the Gameaday rules? I'll paste what it says here:. Basically, in plain English - this means that the material must be original and written by you. Please do not send other people's work. If you do, you run the risk of being banned from our site. (P.S. I copied this from http://www.gameaday.co.uk, click the Gameaday rules icon if anyone wants a look)

Hmmm...that was unintentionally offending.
But normally true.
