Air-borne 0 Posted May 4, 2002 Ex-Ronin, a staff member at the Operation Flashpoint Network has plagarised several sites and attempted to pass of researched information by the Federation of American Scientists Military Analysis Network as his own..... Check these links...... http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/oh-58.htm and Ex-Ronin's supposed intense research that he has 'written' (more like cut and pasted) http://www.3dactionplanet.com/flashpoint/oh58.html This is just one of many examples of material that Ex-Ronin has tried to pass of as his own work... I suggest community members stand up to this sort of thing by making a stand against people like Ex-Ronin...... Get this also......he has the cheek to post about people conducting software piracy! Plagarism is just as bad.....what a hyporcrit..... Have a look at this post..... http://www.forumplanet.com/3dactio....=488593 Everyone PLEASE stamp down on this sort of thing......guys like Ex-Ronin need to be stopped.....

LordZach 0 Posted May 4, 2002 perhaps you could find the part that says written by Ex-Ronin because my browser must not have loaded that part Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Intruder 0 Posted May 4, 2002 Everyone gets that sort of info from that site, it's the best and it's accurate. Even Flashpoint1985 has almost exact infomation on units taken from that site in their units description section. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordZach 0 Posted May 4, 2002 does this mean BIS needs to be stopped? by the way, i don't see you putting who designed that site below your links, so are you passing on the links as your own? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Intruder 0 Posted May 4, 2002 Oh and Facts are Facts, what do want him to do? Make it up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordZach 0 Posted May 4, 2002 maybe he has to go find the creators and ask them to make the page themselves Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Air-borne 0 Posted May 4, 2002 Point is that he didn't bother to do any research himself and construct the information rather than just copying huge slabs of someone else's work. That is called 'plagarism'. Yes facts ARE facts but they aren't stats. The article is word for word. I guess quite a few of you guys haven't completed schooling past the age of 15, so I think I needed to define that for you.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Air-borne 0 Posted May 4, 2002 OK, Is that you trying to be in context and using an Operation Flashpoint quote? That is lame... Look I'm just trying to make a point.......how can you guys defend people like this? Oh and just because I fail to acknowledge your poor attempt at humour in context.....really doesn't mean I didn't finish school past 15.......quite the contrary actually...

LordZach 0 Posted May 4, 2002 we should just ignore him now. obviously he's just some kid who is mad because that page beats out his. facts vs "the OH-58 flys and stuff...it has some rockets and you shoot them and they make explosions...and oh yeah it has a laser pointer and you point it at things and then bombs drop at what you're pointing at it's really kewl and oh yeah it doesn't carry any passengers" flaming him only pisses off the mods. besides people like him get annoyed when nobody pays attention to them.

Air-borne 0 Posted May 4, 2002 Yeah well, I made missions long before Ex-Ronin did, under another nick, Cumboy, which I can no longer use on any forum now because of the OFPEC..... .....and we all know what I did to them...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
