Nice way to read that. I am wondering where you got an insult from all that.

I am saying that, as someone who has had my work stolen and sold on amazon, I have had to put forth the effort to have that information taken down. If you want the work taken down from Gamewise, then stop flaming and either do it yourself or stop "hiding" your findings. Every time you guys have pointed out an issue in the open, we have agreed that it was a copy and pasted by a previous user and taken it down. If you would like something taken down, you need only ask, since it is your right to not have your information taken without your permission.

I have nothing against GB or it's users, but I have an issue with the methods of approaching having your information taken down and assuming we are "covering our tracks".

Twitter is acting up on me, so I created an account here. Before Gamewise went live, there was a period where only a handful of people created content. After that, it went into a beta period where it was opened up to about 30-40 people. During these two periods, there was no point system and everything was done under anonymity, so there was no way to know who added content to the site. Note that this beta period was when I joined and towards the end is when I became an admin. It seems that this period is when most of this content was added.

The site went live a few months ago and certain systems were put into place, like the point system you see now, as well as a section for admins to monitor content. Points are given for anything you do to the site, even going through content already there and adding links. Not everyone who added content before are still with the site; in fact, I don't think anyone besides 1 or 2 are still there. With a focus on adding new content, there was no real way to go back through tens of thousands of entities and seeing what was copied or not without wasting a lot of time.

I hate plagiarism as much as anyone, as I have had content stolen from guides I have written for GameFAQs years ago. There's no real way to really know who added that content. Now that it has been brought to our attention, it is being removed whether you believe it's "being hidden" or not. It is a lot of time wasted indeed going back through all of the content, looking to see if it was copied, then removing/editing it if it is. I'm putting my own time away from my own projects on the site to do this.

Wow thats just stupid. But I still find it hard to buy. That they did not notice someone throwing up page after page of information that fast...with no records at all.
