Fine Admin. I won't post it on your website. But you can bet your ass I'm not going to let up about this until you fix this.
You know no one reads the stuff in the forums!

Megavote for this.
They moved it to the forums and didn't even put a name on it or anything! Just copy and paste!
Big-big vote for this.

The forum thread.
Echoes my sentiments exactly.
warped sense of justice and fair play.. censorship is so important but cheating is okay.
anyone got an Indo friend who'll show us how to get piles of free Gold and Weapons?
Thanks for saving it on a link though so we could read it. Where is it on the forums?
Hey Enoch, unfortunately, I think here is there reasoning for what they did.
"Any article that is directly or indirectly a message to the eRepublik Team is subject to being moved without notice in the Forum in the Open Letters board. Any topic in the Open Letters board will be addressed by the team as soon as possible. Keep in mind that topics that do not respect the eRepublik Laws will be deleted without notice."
Whether I agree with this or not is a different story, and it is unfortunate that they didn't credit you for writing that article that you spent a lot of time on. However, according to those guidelines, they have the power to do it.
I know they can do it, I wasn't disputing that. I'm just not happy about it. I thought it might happen, that's why I gave that google doc link up there.
"warped sense of justice and fair play.. censorship is so important but cheating is okay."
Pretty much. Quoting the words of an anonymous Beta tester:
"erepublik looks to have been designed by marketers and accountant who looked on games like Second Life and figured they could profit off of players while offering an even crapper game."
That's what it really is. It's all done by amateurs who know nothing about browser games, customer service or running a company. The way they try to hide it is by censoring the complaints, which leads to them losing even more credibility.
This all makes me really sad 🙁
Too bad that they are just covering it up instead of coming out and addmitting their mistake. 😞 Instead of fixing the problem, they are losing the respect of their players, and money because of the people who are NEVER going to buy gold again, or that never will in the first place.
If they don't give you credit or put where they got it from it's plagiarism technically.
Ah, I see now Enoch. Keep on fighting for what you believe in, I'm behind you.
Incredible irony that when Indonesia comes up with a load of fake gold to battle America no one bats an eye, but when Spanish hackers decide to screw with the Peace economy it's OMG! Everyone starts to freak out.
Fix the damn gold bug already >.
Excuse me, irony isn't the right word for it. I'll call it Hypocrisy
