The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
Just went to the top posters... new person, called Ranger. Didn't know who he was.
So I clicked on his name, and clicked on a recent review... you see, that's the easiest way to tell, because their old name will be there still.
But unfortunatly for him I read the review. Silent Hill 2.

As I can't be bothered to write topics much anymore, I'll think I'll do this more often.

So yesterday we found 13 copied reviews - well done everybody, we have made SR proud!
So, here's the standings
Ranger + Other Identities = 4
Sepultra_Rule = 1
Monkeyfish = 1
Hd = 1
Serpent2 = 1
Sven38 = 3
Tonkpils = 1
Tree Branch = 1
Vottanator found another one but he didn't post the original URL and the username, so I can't say anything. I think you should ban Ranger and Sven38 but gives the others some sort of warning or caution, so that they do not become repeat offenders. I'll search for more reviews today. Ciao!

Dunno if he's been spotted but here's another cheat.

There's so many of them. It's depressing.

http://special.reserve.co.uk/reviews/review.php?custid=8006 &offset=1#sven38
So, that's now a grand total of 3 that I've found today. I'll keep looking, as I fear that most of Sven38's reviews are copied. I'll keep you posted (no pun intended).

I am not pleased.
Well it would be Magma Dragoon behind it wouldn't it. Come on he's almost copied a Notable's name. =B0)

Some people are incapable of writing with decent gramma.
Copy and paste for a free games seems like "worth a try" to them.
And most of the time they manage to get away with it.
Still, although cheats get the odd GAD they rarely get away with it and it often ends up being more worthwhile to write your own review.
But then there's spamming the stories. Was there seriously a need for that?
I'd like to see the story archive primed and made regular only.
By the time a newbie reaches Regular status, they've normally got decent gramma, they don't want to spam, and they know how to use a forum properly.
I know that there are a few newbies who are intelligent and want to post good stories, but surely they can make do with FoG chat until they've got to grips with the forum.
