Our Good Friend Shadow's Fiji...

[quote=Madmack]Okay so this guy's posts were kind-of impressive at first, however there was something vaguely familiar about it. And here's why... http://www.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=126036 = http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/must-learn-lvl-30s-49893 AND http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/the-10-commandments-49472 = http://www.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=71443 I think its a shame that great builds are getting outranked by a guy who cuts/pastes and gives no credit. The posts are good, but they're not his. [u][b]Edit:(jan 15,2011)[/b][/u] I am under the impression that Shadow's Fiji is not malicious in any way and just made an honest mistake. It was definitely a mistake, but at least an honest one. Here's a recent quote by him... Shadow's Fiji says: "hi .... sry for everything i have caused n i am willing to do anything to get your guyz respect back... i have achieve the builds ... i am very very sry .. plz forgive ... it was a mistake i promise it will not happen again ... the builds which i put will nw have the authors name written on it ... is there anything else i should do ?? plz dn't tell ne leave mobafire n lol .... i hope to get my respect back ..." So again, I think his actions were a definite mistake, but again, an honest one and I hold no ill will towards shadows fiji personally.[/quote]

[quote=Madmack]Looks like he's starting to add credit sections... a new development. Still, I don't know, something just doesn't feel right about it. Seems like it belongs more in the forums tagged at the top than as a "Build Guide"[/quote]

[quote=Trojan995]Yeah, I agree with you entirely. The reason I upvoted his ten commandments build was because it WAS a good post (by someone else), and I'd like to have it on mobafire somewhere. I really didn't see another option, but putting it as a stickied topic seems like the best course of action. Not to mention it's INCREDIBLY obvious that he didn't write this stuff just by looking at a few of his forum posts.[/quote]

[quote=Mowen]I agree, and have been asking him to fix this for a few days. At the very least he shouldn't have like 10 champions on his builds so that they're the #1 guide for all 10 champions... >.< Shadows Fiji, I hope your intentions were good, but not giving credit to an original author is a serious offense. That should always be the FIRST thing you do, and put it in red letters and capslock if you have to. You don't want people thinking you are intentionally plagarizing. Edit: Madmack, you shouldn't just be mad that he's beating your build though... remember this is not about scores, it is about helping others. I don't know if a -1 is the appropriate course of action...[/quote]

I hope that makes it clear that I'm not upset about not being #1. Because I'm not. I'm glad my Ashe guide has helped people, but 93% is probably too highly ranked for it. What I am upset about is that it's beating guides like: Kassadin badass riftninja Tryndamere Resource and was getting up over Mordekieser's Guide and the newbie Kayle - Hell's Angel. Anyway, I am excited for the day that one of these great guides out-ranks my Ashe guide. I kinda hope my Yi guide does just this. But unoriginal/non-cited work is a little sad.[/quote]

[quote=nand]Wait, I don't get it. What's the deal about it pushing guides from #1? People looking for a good Kassadin/Tryndamere/whatever build will simply open the #1, see that it isn't actually a good Kassadin/Tryndamere/whatever build, then go back and open the #2. Also, the title obviously hints at it not being a build/guide for a specific champ, so who cares?[/quote]

My main concern was mostly that people couldn't tell it wasn't his original idea, and I wanted him to make it more obvious. Which by the looks of it after pointing it out myself he still hasn't done. And from reading the comments most people believe they are his ideas.[/quote]

[quote=PotatisFarfar]Shadow's Fiji you just got -10 respect from me ... (yes i keep respect on all users >:))[/quote]

[quote=Kael312]im sorta curious as to my respect level as well, hopefully still neutral, as i cant imagine doing anything to gain any, and dont think ive lost any, hopefully[/quote]
