I noticed that people started to win GAD for someone else's work. Now if you want to submit a review that is not yours, can we make it a rule to not post it? Because it causes too much confusion, and if somebody wanted to read that review, they'd look on Google themselves. If you go ahead and trample over this rule, they should get the dreaded ban. Because frankly, there are people who wrote there own reviews or guides deserve to win.

Can we at least take this into consideration?

I second this. If I want to read a copied review, i'll read were it's copied from, thanks. This is an outrage!

I agree, if this continues, I might aswell submit War & Peace in the creative forum, as my own work and win myself a GAD too.

It's still okay to copy other peoples jokes, right?

Did you notice that he did the exact same thing a couple of months back?

I don't think we have enough admins active here. Or even people who have the authority to ban.

We need to find out who chooses these people to win, I just don't get it...

Or maybe we should put through a sort of nomination process, that way we have the plagiarizum police of freeola a chance to check it, as they so often seem to do :)

I nominate Garin. I've taught him all I know about spotting fakes.

one thing i didnt state that it wasnt mine i was sharing it fair enough i should have stated that i didnt read any rules about this and i agree they should now change the rules to not being allowed to copy a review and win a GAD, therefore from now on ill write my own reviews as ive just done and uploaded in the reviews section, ive been around along time evan when FREEOLA was running and there has been times when people copied off ign/gamespot and one GAD , yeah this was ages ago but none the less, like i said im only going to write what i feel like saying from now on to stop all this, what about you people who upload cheats you dont sit there and work them out for yourself you have copied them yourselfs, i dont like sum of your attitudes on here that why i dont really reply on threads as ive read sum very uncertain things, and alot of bitching, all in all im sorry for the review i won a prize for, i doubt ill get it now because you will all persuade the staffies not to send them to me, then i come on here seeing people say give me a GAD , let me win bingo or something, then i get backstabbed all because i posted a review which i didnt state was mine , and to be honest this has probably happened lots of times, like i said ill just write my own review of games , and just post when and if i have a review , and if i win bingo or something so that people know who won , thank-you.
