WTF goes on with this GAD system? now I know what your thinking "oh god it's another person complaining because he didn't win" well in a way your right. The thing is I wouldn't have minded loosing to another review, but when I spend all afternoon writing a review only to find im beaten by some guy who copied four cheats out of magazine, it kind of annoys me.
I'm not saying that my review should have won, but there where other good reviews submitted on the same day. Surely the GAD should have gone too someone who actually made some effort?
I know at the end of the day it's the judges decision who wins, but it really annoyed me. Anyway that's all have too say on the matter. I don't want to get known as amoaning git.

I think not.
Thats not the point dude! If those four cheats weren't in the SR database before, they are now! Which means that when little Jimmy is traversing the internet looking for one of those cheats, he now stops here instead of continuing his search. He remembers this place, gets to know other aspects of SR then becomes valued member of chatforums and regular customer to SR.

That somewhere else is usually the developer, in order to keep people interested in the game for a bit longer.
Can I have some free stuff now?

Unless little Jimmy is one of those damn dirty spammers, then he won't be very valued, but we'll cross that bridge when se come to it.

I suppose I'm one of the people that make up the 1%, am I?

I think that the SR staff ought to consider how much time is put into this site from their customers.
People who send reviews that are nearly 4000 characters long spend hours carefully thinking and writing them. We don't just write any old rubbish down. We make them ourselves basing our own personal experience on them.
Unless you send in masses of cheats then I should imagine sending cheats in is a very quick job. Sending 4 in must have taken no longer than half an hour.
For a guess he was sending them in because he thought they were good, not because he wanted to win the GAD prize. I don't think anyone would send 4 cheats in hoping to win the GAD prize (that was until now).
