But the "contributor" posted as GTAIV review....
The forum post:

understand why this type of reporting is accepted:''duplicate story'' without links to the original submission.
What more is that it is actually the producer of the game who actually wrote this piece of info.

Surfer Girl again.  But since the last one wasn't taken down, I doubt anyone will uphold the rules this time either.

so that is a excuse to allow blatant duplicates including the fact that the new duplicate one has actually LESS info the other one? dude if we were to post a duplicate one for each news that didn't got attention we would have at least 3-5 posts about the same subject and original source, for example the 360 blu-ray one we would have 12 post this week alone from the exact same source saying the exact same thing...so no a duplicate is a duplicate there is no spin to it

Abusive report.Not spam.
Maybe they should check the source then report.
The guidelines too.
Reporting as spam is definitely abusive.

Gamedaily...and a description like this ?
''If some idiot wanted to get bumped from Xbox Live, these are probably the best ways to do it.''

It should be reported as lame...but here's an example of the ineffectiveness of Lame reports

What would you expect?A completely altered  description?
That is against the rules.My problem is with the spam reports this spam?
Gamedaily is an accepted source the last time i checked,and this article is as good
as any made up Slice Gaming,Kotaku,Gamesradar or Sarcastic Gamer submission.
And those people who reported also have a history of abusive reporting...not you...
some of those in this list:
Namely reporting as duplicate without links,reporting as spam or lame according to their whims and wishes.




Just for an example:look at this submission and the reports: http://www.n4g.com/industrynews/NewsPending-143073.aspx
so now they report because they don't
likeApple?Notice that some usernames are recurrent everywhere.This is becoming a game for them.
Also Bloodmask submitted a story which was reported as duplicate even though it is not.

Status: online 		Frankly,the pending section is becoming a joke.Articles are stuck all day long.Just yesterday.
there were 89 articles stuck for hours and hours.And today,right now,most of the stories have a
report.Reports made by people who don't even contribute and whine all day(Just like what i am doing right now)
I know it would be impossible to prevent them from approving,but at least,some people should have their report
privileges revoked.How can it be that the current top contributors are stymied by invalid and pointless reports?
A valid source is a valid source.No matter what,the rule of precedence should apply.

Here we go.i got two reports from  two users.One of them being a very bad contributor reporting duplicates without links and the other one:See for yourself what he has in his bio:

I am Giant Enemy Crab. I am hear to seek revenge on those at Sony for using me as an example in their 2005 E3 demonstration. I am insulted that I would be used to promote such an overhyped and disappointing Blu-ray player that also happens to play a few games.

I will do whatever I can to stop Sony fishheads from spreading their lies about what many know as the best gaming console today the Xbox 360.
