well then I have my opinion and you have yours, I don't think it is fair on the people who have written a great topic or post to lose to someone who has just copied the cheats of another website.

I hear the screams of 'no proof' and 'this won't hold in court' well then lets have a look and the recent winner on 06/04/01, Skinz posted CBFD cheats and won, although all these cheats are at American websites!

Its not right on the people who have created a great topic and/or posted a great thread/opinion. Is it?

What are your views on this?
Thanks
er-no

P.S No complaints from me because I didn't post on that date. :P

When I first came here I thought that cheats should NOT win. For the reasons that they might not work and could have been copied word for word for any website or magazine.

But now with the ratings system I think this will be improved, lie Tony said all cheats are copied from somewhere, but hey! They can't help that. With the new ratings system I think that Ukcheats.com will get a hell of a lot more visits :-D

Oh and by the way, Billie's marrying Chris Evans, *she* proposed today and he accepted, nice birthday gift from Billie!

all I wanted really to say was that skinz won for a word to word copy from another site.

doesn't really affect me, but it would if I had bothered to type up something great on that day.

Lots of cheats means a chance.

Will people be able to post walkthroughs?

If so surely they would have to be there own, unless they're willing to credit someone else with writing them.

On these occasions would it be fair to win off somebody elses back?

Cheats are fine, as it's a collection of useful info, and you can't really put it over in a way that could be better than someone elses, but a walkthrough needs to be written so it's easy to follow and intersting to read.

I'm against UKcheats winning.
People make a lot of effort with new topics/reply's and when they find out that a cheat which was copied from another site (requiring hardly any effort) wins, it's really unfair.

On the other hand, if I won a game for posting a cheat, would I be complaining then? I think not...

Yes i think it is fair for cheats to win but I can see the view of a few people if they write something good that day and a cheat copied from a site beats them!

I am in favour of them winning but because they are valuable soruce of information

I agree with Ali Snuggly.

Cheats are in the public domain.

We are still working on the system by the way. Hopefully it will be easier to see existing cheats at the same time as entering new cheats quite soon.

If you care to have a look, cheats now have ratings, so if they don't work, click on the "Rate It" button and says so. Also, if you think about it, ALL cheats are copied from somewhere, it's just a case of us giving us loads of good ones for new or popular games. No one will win for posting one faulty cheat for a 10 year old game.
