"YET ANOTHER DAMN CHEATER!!!!!"

Just went onto Devil May Cry reviews.

First one by a guy called Rob007.

I started reading it and then I thought, I've read this before!

It seemed slightly different but I had definitely read big chunks before and considering it had only been posted today, I did a search.

The review:

http://special.reserve.co.uk/reviews/review.php?custid =1008078459

(REMOVE SPACE)

The credit for the review:

http://www.gamespy.com/reviews/october01/devilmaycry/

It is slightly different as the review on the site is huge but big paragraphs and chunks of text have been copied straight from the page.

How many times are people gonna cheat. I say SR have a swat team and whoever cheats, they send that swat team round their house to shoot out their knee caps. That'll teach 'em!

Rob007 - YOU'RE FIRST!!!

And we'll videotape you to make sure nobody else cheats!!

And I'm tired!

Real tired!

I wouldnt know as I didnt get that NGC, but Im going to if someone tells me what issue it was!

It doesn't matter if you re-wrote it or not! Re-writing it only makes it show that you were trying to hide the fact that you copied it, it doesn't get you off anything!

So in that case most of the reviews are copies, because they are re-writes of reviews from else where. This is known because people write a reivew about the thing they claim and they write so many, that they are very unlikely to have!

Hang on there. Don`t be too hasty. Let SR decide, and go with that. They may decide its altered enough, and let you off, so you`ll be welcome to stay... as long as you avoid it in future.

ssxpro, he kinda just admited it a few posts down.

Yes... but because other people do it doesn't really give you an excuse to, does it?

There seems to be a clamp down on this sort of thing at the moment... well, trying to be a clamp down. Fed up with so many lazy people upsetting people that work hard at a topic.

True, he has admitted it, but also says he altered it somewhat. Perhaps if the alterations are significant enough to make it his own work, he could be let off in some way.

Where some idiots just quote the whole stupid thing, at least he tried to change it a bit. Counts for not a lot, but perhaps something... like a second chance.

Hmmm... suppose you're right. More of a template then... isn't it.

I would say "Don't do it again!", but I don't really have any authority whatsoever. So I won't. :0)

Hey Grix, on the subject of your Tagline, I remember Meka_Dragon mentioned he was reading the later Star Wars books with those that pronounce jedi "Jeadai", and I wondered if you also read them? Or have I got confused, and it was you initially? Or alternatively is it just a coincidence, especially as you used G?


:-) Lol! Some of my posts these days! Terrible!

Hey, your post is refering to me. Therefore it's definitely worth a gad. :0D

Actually, it's to do with the Fog Animation things I'm doing. I was lip synching Ant's voice to him talking in an animation, and when he says "jedi", it sounds like Frank Spencer is saying it.

Hence "Geadai". :0)
