I must admit, I cannot think of a better way to end my year than to revoke a prestigious award here on Ultimate Shinobi from one of it's members. The Ultimate Shinobi of the Month award is given to somebody who has an all around activity on the site with such attributes taken into account like consistent roleplaying, the quality of that roleplaying and whether or not the user is a good rolemodel for the award. One of the former holders of this award will have it stripped, along with a site ban which may or may not be permanent depending on the apology I receive, if one at all. Novembers winner, Septimus who shortly left the site after receiving his award due to "inactivity problems" was found out to be posting around on another Naruto RPG called Naruto Infinity. After looking into his details there I found out he was recently promoted to Moderator which made me think what he had done to receive such a ranking, so looking through his post I found a character labeled Azien Nakamura, which is the last name of my Mizukage here. I looked into it and some of the techniques looked a little too highly skilled for Septimus, I haven't looked into them too much yet but for some reason they ring the bell in my mind that they are Hage's plant techniques. Note: This will be something I'll be looking into after New Years Eve unless Hage requests to do it himself in which case he can PM me and I'll link him, though it's only a hunch. Now continued on, I noticed he had a separate character, looking into it; it was a twin of his other character so I scrolled down to see an extremely familiar, long, perfect history. Two Arcs; Birth and Childhood; which belonged to yours truly. The only thing that was edited was his character names, and the last names. Even keeping the parental names I had chosen. This uncreative bullshit is something that frustrates me immensely whether it is mine or not but this history, although not much in comparison to other peoples; was something I slowly constructed over like two months due to inactivity to make sure it was perfect and was essentially the reason my Mizukage took so long to approve, so to have that plagiarized was an extremely large spit on the face to me.

So as of now, I went and lightly flamed him, he removed it. I however am not satisfied with how he acted toward me when I brought it up and decided to temporarily ban him, but at the same time. Name and Shame him via this Announcement and revoke his award. Merely because I hate the archives having an unmarked section, I have taken it upon myself to award the November Spotlight to John who's the only admin yet to get his name on that list and has certainly done a lot for the forum in his time here. I'm sure he'll work his ask off during January with all the tasks he has to do so he can earn February's USOTM too, because he me feel like this one was a pity-award.

Handled. Took me less than an hour. Would anybody else like to steal something from me?

My opinion of Septimus really has gone down after hearing this, which is a shame. I'm glad you took action Adam, having your work stolen is not nice. Hopefully he learnt his lesson from this. It's a shame someone would do this to Adam, he's honestly a nice guy at heart and this will just teach us all a lesson, to not fuck with Adam or Richard, mwuhahaha! Kisame Zaru!

On a brighter note, I'm glad John was chosen as the subsitute November USOTM, well done dude, you deserve it. Smile

I've got a topic up on the site now, any other accounts of plagiarism beyond my own can be added appropriately via post, beyond that I believe the issue should be pretty well handled by now.

Pardon my language but.... what. the. fuck.

My paranoia is now justified. When I looked at this I felt like barfing all over my labtop. Thats how much this plagiarizing shit sickens me and it just keeps coming and coming and coming. Seriously, why the fuck would people do that?!

Fucking hell Hage, I didn't even flow you a link yet? TEEHEE

How'd you do it so quickly, did you get the opportunity to flame him in the chatbox as well? I just found out Todd left his Ingoo head-adminship to Admin on that site.. Named and Shamed. 287405

Me too. I doubt Todd would ever give up his power on Ingoo, but rather keep it in hiding.

He'll be back, and if he's reading this or hears about this, I dare him to not go back.

Age : 31 Posts : 8965

No as in, his said "Lifes busy, Eman can run ingoo now." He still has the founder account his just a less frequent visitor, but it appears his just bailed on ingoo because he found an active site that will put up with the allowance of bullshit techniques.

Age : 28 Posts : 2538

Wow, I can't believe that. I never thought he'd give up Ingoo, to be honest. Well, he hasn't, really, but, he's abandoned it slightly. Which I never thought would happen, either.

Age : 30 Posts : 1256

We'll see. He's not gone, that I know for a fact.

Age : 31 Posts : 8965

Of course his not permanently gone, he'll wait until it dies again, or until it's activity skyrockets to another level and come back and claim it. Anyway, enough Todd-talk on the Announcement, attention should be turned to Septimus. Razz

I can't belive sept did that Sad

So what is going to happen to the mission topic that Me(kyo), Sept, Cara, Elder Sage, Renji, and the gone Cara and Paradox? The mission can't just be left alone. We froze it due to the members being away but still we worked hard on the mission to let it just be alone like that. If you want I can try to end it and have it Looked at afterward. Or let the mission be looked at now.
