The "Retro Game Reviews" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
FYI - The Halo Reach game copied from Gamespot might be worth looking at?
Unless you have an agreement with Gamespot, their terms state:
4. Intellectual Property; License
...you may not otherwise copy, reproduce, distribute, publish, display, perform, or create derivative works of the Services or Content without our permission...

He does not have permission to do so for one, and probably would not do so anyway even if he could (you will learn this about him if you stick around long enough).
If a staffie removes the thread it is normally removed entirely, not just one post.
A quick check of the database tells me it was one of our user moderators who removed the post.
[b] To sum up - although we may allow reviews or posts using copied material, with credit to the original owner, we still have the right to remove them.
The original review owner expressly requested that the content not be used elsewhere without his permission. Crediting him is not his permission.
As for Halo, you really need to explicitly state in future that some or all of the review has another person's material in it. I'm not making any accusations, but it could be construed as trying to cheat everyone else.

The OP asked a few questions in this old thread - see 15/9/10 onwards.
I didn't (and can't on this forum as I'm a stranger around these parts!) remove it, but I guess a Staffie/Forum Mod saw what was going on and took action?
