agree KC...a lot of time & effort put in by many forumites

added so re-replyed

our threads are in their full under false names << thats the issue. My thoughts are under someone elses name. If it was my name i would see how it works but under different names = purposely misleading <<< thats the point....purposely misleading. Sell posts, name goes with it.
Some of the boys in here like Sportz who take so much time to put together ratings etc...they are not getting the credit for what they do.
How do you think they feel.
Opinions are 1 thing to buy and sell but when someone is shown to have put in time in a specialised field where others can advantage (ratings)it would be decent to tell them where their knowledge is being sent other then where they originally post their articles << which is where they feel comfortable with posting and am happy to share with those they know for free who perhaps have helped them at one stage in return
Sports goes to alot of effort. Ok if they put his name together with those ratings on another site then no damage to his good reputation. For Sportz to go over there and see that everybody but him is getting credit for HIS work..... << copyright is the word regardless of what rules state here.
If they said we can go into your bank account and withdraw all your money upon signing up here.....that doesnt make it legal. They can type whatever they want....doesnt mean its law.
Im not even saying they [pro punter] know anything about it. i would be surprised if they did
We deserve an answer...sportz especially. Regardless of whether it was sold or stolen.

I wouldn't be surprised if we have a bit of a home-grown problem here. A bit of detective work doesn't go astray. Everyone has their own idiosyncrasies when it comes to writing posts, just like handwriting!

A copy and paste from the site that was [ironicaly] posted there today:
------------------------------------------------------------------
hi everyone my name is crash. Im a bit of a dope but thats ok. i can supply an answer to all your questions and usually do, well sort of! I hope nobody will steal my nick here although that doesnt matter because i dont really own it now i'm registered. Soon i will tell you all about how clever i really am. Stay tuned
------------------------------------------------------------------

Hmmmm, usually no apostrophes, sometimes capitals to start a sentence and sometimes not and usually a small i instead of capital I for first person. Often fails to use a full stop at the end of a post too.

It wouldn't conclusively prove anything, except maybe a strong smell of fish here, but anyone with half a brain would start looking in this thread [or others] for a match of typing style. It certainly doesn't match mine!

crash. I've been looking into it aswell. we need to share notes. I think we're onto something here.
P.S. My dog wants to know what your favourite brand of dog biscuits are. << He read your post over there.

Yep, I think we sure are. Watch out [especially] for anyone starting to use apostrophes from now on.

Another post on that site today:

has anyone in here seen the pro punter moderator. thought i might ask incase he's out the back somewhere
---------------------------------------------------------------

incase?

I wonder who the new member is and why they chose MANAGEMENT as their user name LOL

As the posts have disappeared on that other site, I guess they traced the IP address and identified and removed all the 'members' and posts using that IP [?]

If the culprit is a member here, I'm sure Management could match the IP.
Then we could have a burning!

Crash, save me a seat up front with you. I'll bring the nibblies though. not into the pet stuff
