    First off, this guy offered to write articles for my gaming website for $5 per article. I went for the offer and he wrote 1 article per day and posted a few news. It turns up that the articles he posted on my website, was the same exact same article from other websites. It has only been a week but i am still filtering out all his posts! I have recieved many emails stating how we just copy their articles, and they are pissed off...so im sending out apologizing emails and state i have removed the user from posting again. Here are 3 examples:

    Mate, you’ve totally copy and pasted our story from TechRadar and just ripped off the hard work of Patrick Goss, who wrote this. Please take this down.
    The right way to do this is comment on our story and provide a link to what we said. You’ve done it the wrong way, and other bloggers will take note.

    Hi,
    I think taking whole articles wholesale from a site with no credit is pretty poor going.
    Your Windows XP story of May 1 - written by me - is a TechRadar article.
    Please don’t do this.

    Hey,
    I didn’t know I wrote for your site. In fact, I don’t and I’d appreciate you not taking articles wholesale with no credit.
    Thanks,
    Patrick
