The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
You may well think I cannot sack you, that's fine to think that...you carry on thinking that...
ANYWAY, with light to my extreme annoyances at complete * winning games and dvds like nobody's business from copying another person's reviews, and getting away with it. Clearly the 'internet filter/search' blah blah blah thingy doesn't work at all, so here is something that I feel could help stop people like Atomic Koala winning prizes for doing a c+p job.
Problems: people are winning that never post on the forums in disussing, and it's damn annoying. We do all the talking, we help make the site good, and then people who no one has ever spoken to on here, goes and wins a game for a review (possibly copied) of something like, oh I don't know, an unreleased football game perhaps. Takes the Urine, don't it.
Right - Dan, hasn't won in ages, Dan doesn't give a monkey, as Dan does not own a monkey, but would buy one if asked, anywho new rules to be implimented, as agreed by Tony, with any luck:
You can only be entered for the 3 gameaday prizes if you have an entry, naturally, but you can only enter if you have been a discusser on the forums for 14 days. I.E we will have gotten to know you, you will be respected, or not, and your writing style will be recognised - if you cANknot Sp-hell to save ur lyfe in discuccing n'd thenn gO nd possed an absolutely amazing review with incredible use of vocabulary and exceptionally well written, then we will know that it must be copied, or at least have suspicions aroused.
JAT'S cannot win, seeing as you must be a member for a minimum of 14 days.
Anyone found to be copying reviews after having 'their' prize sent to them will have their address told to us so we can go and pay them a visit...
Dan2K1 must win at least once a month or he will regain sanity, and you do not, DO NOT want that to happen.
Reviews of games that have not yet been released cannot win. Especially two within a week, of the same game. Talk about variety...
ALL posts be checked out, and for those members who do not have a DVD player, they can have an account whereby if they win 2 DVDs, they can exchange that prize for a Game instead, of equal or less value.
Thank you
Tony, read the above, some makes sense.

That's true.
Unless you kick him *really* hard, in which case they won't work so, technically, he will be a laydee....

Dan, using abusive, derogatory and offensive terms like that will win you no friends here and may lead to sanctions if they continue.
We do try to discourage copying, in fact a number of people have been banned recently for persistant copying. They did not get away with it.
In short, stop moaning.

Nice idea about the trading in 2 FADs for a GAD. It might work out cheaper for SR, seeing as people can choose 2 £25 DVDs or replace that with a £35 PS2 game, and I don't buy films as much as I buy games.
But how would it be implemented?

Good idea. I like the registering thing.
I posted in another thread something along these lines:
If you are found copying from another site you get warned not to do it again. If the member does it again instead of banning them just stop them from winning any future GAD's or FAD's. That way people will not do it as they will not get the chance to win.

I think this "14 day thing before u can win" could lead to less new people joining the forums.
