Stealing Reviews

So I popped on Tuscl today to flip through a few local clubs that I've been considering visiting to find that some jerk off had taken my review of the Ballpark Tavern from Yelp and posted it to TUSCL as his own. I regret having neglected to upload this review to TUSCL as well but the outright plagiarism is what really pissed me off.
To "pensvir1" I say a big fuck you douchebag.
Has anyone else had people hijack their reviews? I knew that TUSCL was filled with us creeps and pervs but this caught me off guard.

I do hope you flagged the review and noted for Founder's attention that the member is a thief.
Why would you expect any other sort of behavior from the Assholes & creeps??Plagiarism is the least of the their behavior.
There are many far worse offenders around here than this guy - lol.
It's a conspiracy created by Microsoft to win over our hearts and minds.
I can see a free VIP as a one-time initial thing to give folks an opportunity to “test-drive†the site; but giving free VIP for every time someone writes a review just leaves the door too wide open for the assholes the OP described.
But – the free VIP shit has been discussed before – so I’ll leave it alone :).
I have not seen any of my reviews copied; but then again I don’t think anyone would want to copy mine. I have actually seen a TUSCLer copy an older review of a different TUSCLer, for the same club, and submit it – I flagged the review and I think it was deleted if I remember correctly.
But there are many other instances where people submit reviews b/c they want to and w/o getting anything for it (amazon; other consumer related sites; etc.) – thus people submit their true opinions and mean what they write since they are not getting anything from it.
Most TUSCLers submit reviews b/c they want to share their experience and know they will also benefit from others doing the same thing. Even w/o the free VIP; I don’t think reviews would die out and cease to be written (e.g. amazon; etc).
I understand the value of reviews for a site like TUSCL; but I personally prefer quality over quantity.
I disagree. I believe it would get rid of the persons Papi mentioned. I believe the core membership & the dedicated would remain.
I agree I will always be with you....Der is a little juice in all of us now
Nailed it. I couldn't agree more.
