The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
Ok, here are some guidelines to assist you in fitting in with the folk at SR.
Follow them and you will find endless hours of chatting and potential free games/movies.
Ignore them and...*shrugs*...it'll be like the last 4 days, only worse.
----------
1. DO NOT COPY REVIEWS
You will get found out. And to copy a review means you are a hack writer and a big nancy that probably wears dresses.
Use your own thoughts and feelings, a review should give a personal comment on the game. To copy is to rip someone off that has spent a while actually being creative and imaginative. Therefore you are neither by simply ALT C + ALT V.
SR employ a crack team of checkers, and some regulars seem to spend their time checking reviews, so you WILL get found out.
2. USE CORRECT GRAMMER, SPELLING ETC
It's not hard. Most of us have been able to do it since we were at primary school. This is not a mobile phone screen, and txt spk is rlly annoying.
M8.
When the primary method of communication is writing, to fall back on lazy typos and quick-spelling shortcuts highlights a lack of schooling and a general defecit in social skills.
3. THIS IS NOT A CHAT "UP" ROOM
Female gamers are a rarity enough, but when some tree-dwellers crash in and start asking for phone numbers and addresses, you are scary and probably a deviant.
We have some girls here, and they have weathered initial "Hey baby" comments to become accepted.
So leave them alone and, for chrissakes, your already on the net - go look at porn.
4. DO NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT PEOPLE WINNING GAD
They worked hard and got lucky, you didn't. Deal with it.
It's even in the rules "No complaining, nobody likes a whinger".
Just accept the fact that you didn't win that day, so next time try harder.
5. DON'T EVER QUESTION STAFF OR NOTABLES
Because we'll ban your monkey-ass in a millisecond. Especially Snuggly - he's a demon.
Although he does have nice hair and uses cologne.
6. CONSOLE WARS ARE RUBBISH
They are consoles, they are unable to partake in war of any kind. These conversations have been done to death, spin an angle to make it interesting.
7. POST CRAP AND GET ELECTED NOTABLE
Hey, worked for me.
-----
These are not rules, these are guidelines.
Not every newbie is a windowlicker, and not every Notable is a wise-man.
Tony, Snuggly, Loki and Bob are the leaders.
Obey them.
(except for Snuggly, he's a punk)

What has most of the topics here got to do with Fog. NOWT!
I think the FOG name just stuck with it. What has voting a notable got to do with FOG, but Tony started it. The only thing here that is ever about FOG is those damn console wars and we could do without those.

No WAY is the paste button gonna be blocked!
All you have to do to get around that copy and paste thing is to use Ctrl+C (copy) and Ctrl+V (paste), so they couldn't really do that.
I got it.. If it isn't already, make Prize Three points based, ie the guy who posts the most cheats in a day gets the GAD prize, then add points for people who catch cheats who are copying reviews.
I don't think there's enough people who grass up people to start a prize for it, as there's only that selected few that do it when bored. There'd be a lot of days where no winner is decided because nobody grassed anyone up and as security tightens up, less and less people will copy. However, if a prize is awarded, it will be an incenitive to catch offenders.
Or just block the paste button on these forms. I've seen the copy button blocked out on some pictures on the net, so why not just stop people pasting in copied reviews. Sure the innocents might suffer a little, but it's for the greater good.
I would die if that happened! All of my topics and reviews are written in Notepad or Word first, to ensue that if an error comes up when writing the topic or I accidentally erase never happens. Damn forms! I am opposed to the 2nd idea and but quite neutral to the 1st. Staff - could you please come in here!

Third option is to send out a really officious looking e-mail to all the registered posters reminding them of the legal consequences of their actions. Make it look real scary and see how many of the young whippersnappers try and copy their way to fame and fortune...
