Now I'm feeling a little better

I wouldn't normally do something like this, but I'd like to show you all this infraction I just handed out to Melkor, the webmaster of PokExperto (ie. That Spanish site that had all the leaks). Makes me feel a lot better for not having been given the leaks now. If the leaks to Melkor were officially sanctioned, I hope that in the future TPCI will think a bit more about the kind of people they make leaks to. If the leaks to Melkor weren't sanctioned....well, I wouldn't put it past him to have engaged in something underhanded.

Post: Black & White Speculation Contest - Final: Numbers of Pokémon
User: Melkor
Infraction: Attempting to cheat in the Bulbagarden Speculation Contest using your leaked information
Points: 40

Administrative Note:
Message to User:
You got a leak of information, and you used it to try and cheat in our contest? Just what were you thinking Melkor? Have some professionalism. Did you think you honestly wouldn't be caught, after your info later proved accurate, or that we'd let you off on this? What happened to showing good sportsmanship?

Original Post:
My random guess:

17 Water Pokémon.
20 Grass Pokémon.
15 Fire Pokémon.
For anyone interested BTW, the above is the actual format of the infraction log threads that get posted in our staff forum every time an infraction is made. Nice and concise, isn't it? We know who's made the infraction, since the thread gets automatically posted using that staff member's account, not Bulbabot.

    How low do you need to sink to cheat on a forum contest?

    ^Shoddy go low low low low low

    Smooth *cough* xD

    If he were smart he'd actually get two of them wrong, making it look like he actually guessed. But I guess his greed got in the way.

    It'd be very low either way though. It's called a speculation contest for a reason.

    And this is probably one of many reasons why the Spanish speaking fandom has such a bad reputation. I'm glad I always stayed away from it.

    I'm a bit offended, but okay. -_-'

    Anyway, this is what the world should be like! If people are gonna fight, then they should do it with legal power!

    I don't know...I mean, I doubt Melkor ever intended to accept the prize.

    Seems like he just did it for fun.

    Wow, Pokexperto was actually a member here since 2005? Holy crap!

    Exactly. The fact he says "my random guess" implies that he was joking, considering he leaked the Pokemon himself and would undoubtedly be caught once his information was confirmed as true. If he was actually trying to cheat, wouldn't he had done so on a separate account?

    I don't know... I don't think he was serious. :/

    he was trying to mess with us all, feeling smug about having all that info, he didnt care if he got infracted, he was probabaly sitting there laughing about it as he typed it.

    I just want to report some of the comments that I see here because I don't think Archiac laughed it off


    Seriously? 40 points??? That is A LOT of infraction points!!!!!!!!!

    I wondered why Melkor was banned when I looked at it, and it turns out that this was the reason. You know, I didn't expect you to take his post seriously, because I expected there to be an expiry date for the contest, and I think Melkor knows he wouldn't be eligible anyway.

    On the bright side, he's not banned for eternity, which is a good thing. Maybe he can comment on more new information to come (even though some would not be pleased by the pre-release leaks, of course).

    Thanks for reading.

    I don't get what the big deal is, but that is still a large amount of points. You know, it would be funny if the amount of points was stated as "over 9000."

    40 points is kind of overkill if you ask me.
