Sorting out illegal contest entries

clearview351 · 03-31-2005, 05:53 AM

i wish to draw you attention to 2 topics with contest 28:
1st.
5 entries exceed the 120kb size limit , entries: 402,407,411,438,453
are these to be removed at all??

2nd.
entry 24 (da iceman) seems to have a few parts from other chops...see picture attached:

this is either a clear case of chop robbing, or this person has multiple identities...maybe needs check by admin?
anyways i'll let the viewer decide

Phoenix · 03-31-2005, 12:26 PM

i saw that those chop had stolen parts form digimods right away, damn bastards i say

Altered_Perception · 03-31-2005, 04:58 PM

also entry 25's front bumper is stolen too

ZVT · 04-03-2005, 01:51 PM

Entry 32 is also taken from iac's front bumper and he didny even bother to take the IAC off.lol

edit #35 also a iac brushed bumper.

btw that saturn is mine that parts were taken off i odnt know wether to be upset or just say fuckit this **** happens daily.Get some of your own ideas guys why do somehting that has been done before be original.

awesome eye man. i also noticed those stolen Iacoski parts right away. especially the one that came from the Evo.

it's suprising how many people used the Mercedes front bumper (even i did, #33) but i did all the work, and you can see that my bumper is from another car, this one... http://www.seriouswheels.com/pics-20...A-1024x768.jpg . I shaved off the side vent, and brushed over the front to make a cleaner lip.

just thought i would defend my chop before it got attacked for having a similar bumper to that one on digimods (which i never saw)

unlikely considering the drastic quality difference between the chops.

The images can speak for themselves.

I studied these 2 images, overlayed one on top of the other, they are clos ebut there is some differences...are you sure that the digimods bumper is brushed? I'm sure there was some modification to it but we need to know it's brushed for sure(the whole thing) because if the entry on the PSC contest used the same bumper(C&P) and modified it himself then it should be legit...

We really do need a better way of monitoring the contest chops but with soooo many chops and choppers out there it's hard for one person(WILDE) to keep track of what's stolen and what's not.....anyone have any ideas on how we can keep this from happening at all? If we appoint a few of the better "spotters" to look over the entries one by one(literally looking at each and every chop turned in) then maybe this could be prevented....let's hear some ideas...

EDIT: Changed the title of the thread and stuck it so we can get some better reactions.

I can do spotting for you if you want.Im an unemployed bum(at the moment) so i got lots of time on my hands to look through.usually I got a keen eye for things and I goto alot the chopping websites so should be able to spot a stolen item.

If you want me to help contact me on kva64770@bigpond.net.au

Actually the side skirt and the air intakes are not rip offs. look below...It also appears pete may have used the side spoiler and intake as well...hmm interesting..

I have a vast collection of cars that I borrow parts from..around 400. This is one of the cars I have been waiting to use for something. as soon as i saw the picture in the top left hand corner..a red flag went up and i knew i saw it before on another car..Its close yeah, but different. The froint end is a rip from pete though..big whoop

Just so everyone knows, in the Evo Wagon contest, entries #35 and #48 are both mine..... 48 was my original and I resubmitted my entry with 35 as an update, but somehow both of them got put up there. So number 48 should not even be in the list of images!
