The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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

I am very dissapointed with myself and I'm almost crying at the thought of being banned and I'm willing to explain.
"Grix your on a role with posts, every thread you enter your name is at the top and the next four down. Getting worried about Rasta?"
Who wouldn't? :0)
"But on the feeling of the topic. How really will you know, to find the one perticular site out of the thousands is a near impossiblity."
We have FM. That's all you need to know.
"But I think you can tell the writing of a 13 year old compared to a 30+ year old man, let's just all keep a close eye on his reviews and also under his other name which just recently won FAD with what was a copied review, Scythian Witch-Harpy. So all of you kep a close eye out as who knows what will be next?"
We usually do. It helps pass the time.
However, I think things have been a bit lazy recently, and I'm irritated to read what you just wrote. With the three prizes now, it's difficult to read every single winner, but at least I, and perhaps we all should, make the effort to read and judge against the writer.
This is of no offense to Ali, and any other winner picker mind, this is just something we can all chip into.
Who wouldn't? :0)

What has Shaneo suddenly done to you?

Believe me, if he does it again, we'll know.
Gameaday's have been withdrawn from people found to be cheating in the past, and SR have always handled it as best as they can.

they find out,by telling users to tell them if they find a site where a review has been copied from.but it must be hard to know if they are copied,as there is a high standard of writing from some people on this site.
