I really can't believe it has come down to threads and posts about GAD staff and members. Black copied a walkthrough, its in the rules he can.

The staff do their best to pick a winner who they think deserve it. Instead of just spending loads of time complaining, why not write something constructive?

It personally doesn't bother me if he won for a copied walkthrough. As a point was made - all the cheats are not original. But you don't leave a message at the bottom of each saying who found it. Walkthroughs are hugely beneficial to gamers and so they do merit good work when they are submitted.

Copyright?? well on the internet i think nearly everything is copyrighted, the cheats posted could be, some of the topics on here i have seen elsewheer, or much the same.

So rather than everyone just going on and on, deal with it. YOu can post a copied walkthrough, you can win for it. The staff never said you couldn't so get off their backs and cut them some slack!

But it just seems a bit pointless and petty to cause so much fuss over nothing.

yeah, but it keeps these forums alive. But i think really what we should do is tell these people of the opportunity of winning vouchers as to encourage people to submit their own work.

You never use to win GADs for cheats because it was just copying and pasting. But when ForestFan posted over 300 they felt he deserved something for it.

I remember in the past when there were 20+ walkthroughs and reviews posted each day. I knew this because I would check out the competition to see my chances when I submitted something. That's why I always posted them close to midnight.
