You got proof someone's biting lyrics from another artist or loading up votes from the same click or multiple accounts? Call 'em out on the carpet here. Make sure you back up your claims with links to dated material. NOTE: If you accuse someone of biting and it's decided you were wrong, it may affect your account priviledges, so be careful. If you cheated and admit to it, you MAY be given a second chance - kind of like a plea bargain.

Post links to websites that you think would be of interest to our members. No bulk advertising please. If you are a newbie, do not post links in our other forums or they may be edited or blocked permanently. No Commercial Posts, links to sites that sell product or links to similiar topic forums.
