@joey-zyla – I am a moderator in this section, and this game shall remain open. I will respond to each of your posts in the thread in this message and then subsequently delete them from the thread because they are inappropriate.
My game’s been taken. Nice..
Firstly, your game has not been ‘taken’. The idea has been duplicated and modified. You do not own the rights to this game and in fact commented that you got the idea from someone/somewhere else anyway, therefore it is not even your game.
@shaneb12345678910 How would you like it if somebody stole your thread?
No-one has ‘stolen’ your thread. As above, you do not own it, therefore no-one can steal it.
Take this down right now or I will contact Keith.
This is a threat, and threats are not appreciated on the forum. This is a warning to you.
@jamiefranklinf1 How nice of you to ask before you basically steal my game. That was sarcasm, in case you’re too arrogant to notice.
This, is just out and out being nasty for the sake of being nasty. I will be reporting this.
@keithcollantine Please close this.
You have no reason to request this. You may feel hard done by but actually, no-one has done anything wrong.
@bradley13 @olliekart Please close this.
Neither me, nor olliekart will close this thread, there is no reason to as it is not in breach of forum rules.
When I came up with an idea for a forum game, I shared it with this community in the hope that it would be appreciated. It was an act of kindness that I shared it with you guys in the first place, there are plenty of forums I could have posted it on. I worked hard four days a week to ensure that the results were posted and people had something somewhat F1-related to think about. I know how it is without Formula One, I am a fan myself. Please, never forget that this was MY game, and I put work in to it to make this forum better for ALL of us, and hopefully make the off-season go by faster as well.
The majority of moderators live in Europe, so I understand why this has not been locked yet. It is my wish for a moderator to lock this. I can respect their decision if it is not locked, however I would appreciate an explanation, as this thread seems to clearly breach forum rules, which state:
‘Please do not start new threads which duplicate content on the main site or elsewhere in the forum.
Any duplicate threads will be closed and may also be deleted.’
Thank you to everyone who legitimately appreciated and enjoyed the ORIGINAL game and does not join this imitation.
Firstly, your game was appreciated very much, and a lot of people enjoyed it, hence why me and Jamie have worked so hard to try and build it back up for everyone. Indeed it was an act of kindness, and we all appreciate it, and are grateful you chose this forum. I agree, you did put in a lot of work, no-one is denying that, but again, it is not ‘your’ game. You do not own the rights to it.
‘Please do not start new threads which duplicate content on the main site or elsewhere in the forum.
Any duplicate threads will be closed and may also be deleted.’
The reason this has not been closed. It does not duplicate content on the main site, or elsewhere on the forum. Let me explain. The other forum game was closed because there was nastiness going on, not because it was in breach of any other forum rules. Re-opening this game is in no way at all a breach of forum rules unless people start being nasty here as well.
If you have any more questions feel free to respond and I will do my best to give you answers.
