Quite obviously I haven't been on the forums as long as some veterans of NGU; however I have been on long enough to tell that things are copied and pasted way too often.

These things include but are not limited to:

YouTube Videos -

Text from other sources -
Then we have some people that think copying and pasting things from other sources is too lengthy of a task, and then decide that they will re-post something that has already been posted.

Things things include but are not limited to:

Tutorials -
Glitches/hacks -


I guess the aim of this thread is to get users taking advantage of the 'Search' function (Yes, there is such a thing - and it's not in heaven!).

So, for those of you who haven't figured it out already, here's a guide on how to open it and use it.

You must login or register to view this content.

1] Go to the top right of your screen and click 'Search ▼'.
2] A dropdown box will appear. Enter your search term in the highlighted text input box.
3] Click 'Go' to reveal a set of search results for those keywords.

So that is the search function. It's not that hard, is it?
Hopefully now more people will start using it instead of partaking in plagiarism (which is theft).

Thanks,

See this is because of how the community has changed over the 2 years. It turned from a tight community full of different personalities into everyone trying to out-do each other and become a mod.

The sense of a true community is long gone, now it's all about how nice you can be to other members, sb activity, and how liked you are among staff. I personally think theres too many promotions going on. Almost monthly theres demotions/promotions and everyones trying to make sure it's them that gets promoted.

There are quite a few great staff members that could handle the forums very well without the 9001 sectional moderators, than again what the **** do I know I'm the guy who's been around since '08 and never became staff lol


Btw keep up the quality posts.

People copy & paste to pass in useful/funny information
If the other person is not on this site I could care less if
they got credit, A source for important information
yeah.

I prefer not having to go surfing to find this info and am happy
that people do take the time to pass it on.

You should never ask for rep but if you copy & paste something
I like or find useful I will thank/rep depending on the info.

searching the forum 1stI 100% agree with though there are to
many cases of the same thread being posted.

Meh its always the noobs then get the mod

Could agree more, especially with the last sentence of the 3rd paragraph lol. I could see looking at a post/thread/news source on another website and changing the wording and adding pictures and such. But when you just post a quote and source it at the bottom and say "Discuss", it shows you just want attention and put no work into a thread.

I don't quite get this either:

Admin's
Supper Mod's
Mod's
Sectional Mod's

So:
Admin's:
Have full controle of the forum and can do every thing they want/need to

Supper Mod's:
Can moderate the whole forum, but can't add new forum's (Like Black Ops, with subforums of black ops like MW2 has and so on)

Mod's:
Moderate section's not the whole forum.

Sectional Mod's:
Moderate section's

These are the default setting's in VB, why have sectional mod's when that's what mod's do.

As for Copy & Pasting, this happends not just ono this forum, not even just forum's it happens every where on the internet, even T.V shows show clips from YouTube, so I can't really see a problem here.

Just my thought's

Lol your funny -.-
