The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
Hello.
In this passage, I will to refer to many things, this is what they mean.
"Regulars" - These kind hearted people come onto your website, and have fun talking to eachother, and post some great topics about games. Examples of these are: Ant, Elitesniper, Dan, Fogmaster, Fantasymeister. These people hardly win games, compared to the amount of work they do.
"We" - This also refers to the "regulars".
"Newbies" - These are the people that come on here SOLELY to win games, 95% of these will write one thing, steal a game from you, and then leave. The remaining 5% will stay after winning a game. These people do less work, and win more games.
"Staff" - This refers to anyone that works at Special Reserve.
We are getting very tired, and agitated at the fact that people come on here and win games, and never come back here again. This portrays the feeling of the forum simply being "used". We do not treat this forum like the 95% of newbies do. I.E. We do not have one night stands.
We care about the forum, and we enjoy returning to it, to post more things about games, and to talk to eachother. It is a social gathering as well as a games forum.
The staff, I believe, fail to see that we put much more effort and work into the site than the 95% of newbies, and also fail to realise that the newbies put no effort into maintaining their status in the forum.
Therefore, I propose this compremise. The newbies are unable to win, UNLESS they post at least 10 decent posts, which all refer to the name of the forum.
I have no say on the status of the reviews. I am happy that people can win with one review. I am unhappy with the fact that we put more time into the site than they do, but I understand that reviews have a better chance of winning a game.
However, it seems that newbies have a better chance than we do of winning a game. It also seems that whoever chooses gameaday fails to fully take in what has been written, and will ignore it if they have won before.
To summarise: We are unhappy with amount of newbies which simply leave after winning; we want newbies to post 10 decent topics before winning, to make the forum more effienent; and we want to have the same chance as winning as the newbies, which will also encourage more people to stay.
Thank you for reading. Any comments from the regulars will be welcomed.

Regardless of whether cheats are a cut and paste job, it still takes time to work out which cheats are already at UKcheats, which ones to submit, and then to enter them.
Cheats are more popular than discussions, so I think the cheats section is a thoroughly worthy contender for Gameaday.
Furthermore the concept was always originally to have ALL contributions to the site count for the prizes.

Thanks for the advice
But won't the so called 'Newbies' come on, leave 10 'Decent' posts and then claim the game and leave for good.......
I would be classed as a newbie that was in 'suspended transition' at one stage, to be a 'regular'.
But of course i was unfortunately offline for a bit.
And ive never won anything which is kinda sad.

I'll stand up for Badger_guy, after 'speaking' on Messenger the other day he seems intelligent enough and has some good opinions.
Hope you injoy it here BG and don't be disheartened if you don't win anything for a while...
