Get this, I write a post on Madden 2002. I spent ages on it and put so much hard work into it. Then I was just about to put it as a review and I see that Uksgamer2002 has copyed my post and put it as his/her own. Well tell me weather that should be a ban or what. I mean if it wins then that should not be allowed. Tell me what you think?

I think that you shouldn't have copied the review. But as you did, you should have inserted a line at the top to say that the review was written by someone else, and that you were posting it there for reference.

And there really is no need to keep SHOUTING my name!

As a Notable, what do you think about my actions WOOKIE? Do you think I was wrong and should have just told him not to to review in chat, or was I right and am just being boycotted (like that Leeds player).

I know what you mean, but I'm asking if review wordcounts are included in the over-all total. If they are then reviewing in the forums makes no difference, and you argument would be invalid.

Snuggly - maybe I should know this, but still...

Do review contents count towards the overall word count?

Mr. Snuggly, your tagline is 'cheating = banned, so I suggest you ban me. That's what most people want, so it's only fair.

By the way, when you ban someone, it's only temporary, right. right?

*Doh* not the response I was hoping for but I'll fight on. Delete the review, and replace with that other guy, whats his name, erm... whoevers it is. I don't care. I just hate it when people post review in chat to bump their word count up.

I wasn't trying to win GAD (and even if I had, you lot would have said I'd copied), I was doing it to prove a point.
