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?

Look, If he'd wanted to discuss it, he should have told everyone to read his review (at ukreviews.com) then asked for comments.

because Ukscheater2002 thought he could nick the review.
In that copied review you should have at least credited the original writer.

The reason why people normally post their review in both sections is they want it to be a review, but they also want to be able to discuss it, which can't be done with the reviews section.

I think posting a review here is fine, as long as they state that it is to be discussed, and start off the convesation. I didn't see this particular review.

HOWEVER! SR say that reviews should be posted in the reviews section, unless it is not available for that particular item. (Well Loki said that anyway). Either way this didn't give anyone the right to claim it as their own.

He said it himself he wasn't going to win with it (in the madden 2002 topic). Chill. I was doing it to prove a point. If you wanna report me, fine, maybe I deserve it, but at the end of the day, that should have been in the review section.

What makes you think you can just steal someone elses work??
They should put it in the reviews section, but that doesn't give you the right to use it as your own in the hope of winning GAD you smarmy gimp.

LOL. I can't stay long but I have to say thanx. A topic dedicated to me:) I was grinning from ear to ear. I did it because it annoys me when people write reviews in the chat, next time put 'em in the reviews section, or someone else will. P.S. If I don't reply later, it's 'cos I'm not online. I should be on 2moro b4 dinner and at 2:30, so you can argue then:)
