Plagiarism - Only From the Elite


A few days ago I mentioned a member's thread getting shut down for a BS reason: Sorry, you're just not good enough. They attempted to play it off saying it was a "game." Only Forumtroll kissasses can have that privilege. Then Reverend_Maggot posted the exact same thread, with the exact same content, without any credit to the person he stole it from. He even has the churchbells to make the next comment:

Yeah, this one is kinda like an Official Game Thread. Game Threads in the PS forums are allowed only by MVPs and mods and such, so nearly all the other times, the other threads will be lock/deleted as a game thread or being off-topic or something like that.

I'm hoping to create other game threads later on down the road depending on how well this one goes. Something to bring some fun and sense of community here in the Home Forum!

The f'ing gall of that guy. You ever needed any other evidence of how some users are favored, here it is. Hey Reverend, you remember that one commandment? Number 8? Thou shall not steal? Stop being a hypocrite and give credit where credit is due.

And god forbid someone attempt to take credit. The author/creator of the concept said the following: (And nothing more)

This thead looks familiar...

Which Jim77, with his lips puckered like his browneye, came directly to it's defense:

But is set up by an MVP so is allowed.

Dont flame / bait please

Then it vanished. The whole thing was deleted. Outstanding, just when I think my point hasn't been driven home enough, the ammo truck pulls up and literally hands me more.

Sorry, you're just not good enough.


This post here was created as form of community bonding measure. It made it 13 pages before being shut down. According to the person who closed it, CronoEX:

There have been many concerns recently over forum games (ie. game trivia, collaborative stories, etc.). We realize that these types of things are fun to many members and certainly don't want to eliminate them completely, but at the same time we need to take steps to make sure that they stay on the right course and don't degrade into pointless droning. (Homewatch note: at no point did this forum post get that way. The excuse is without any foundation) At this time, we'd like to restrict the privilege of creating such games to MVPs. We will work with them on ways to create games that add value to the community and stay meaningful, and yet are fun at the same time. This includes avoiding games that only elicit one-word responses, that don't create any discussion, etc. If you have a neat idea for a forum game, feel free to mention it to one of your friendly MVPs. As I said though, this privilege is reserved only to MVPs, so we're asking that non-MVP members please refrain from creating such games on the forums. We appreciate your cooperation! Thank you
Wow, that's a steaming pile of it if I ever heard it. I wonder which suckup asked for it? Nice to know even the forum admins stop by to ruin everyone's good time and support their elite gestapo.
