# Pearoasts only are bad in new threads or if they are all the fucking time.
That said, it is stated (although I do not have the stats to back this up) that no pearoast have ever won a comp.

If you want to enter the comp then you have to make the post a comp post too, so it had better be the image.

# You should never repost old pictures in new threads.
Reposting in a reply is ok. Generally you should repost only if it is connected to the post you are replying to in some way.
See how I reposted my sock picture just here in reply to the sock picture above. This is good reposting in action people.

Edit: apparently you may repost in a new thread if the picture is for a challenge entry. However you can still submit a challenge entry as a reply to a post.

# Or my random cygnet ring in response to

# just to make it clear then (again) the FAQ says
Don't:
* Post stuff that is, or looks like porn - (see NSFW section)
* Post pictures from sites that are not your own
* Repost your old pictures - that's what the 'View Older Messages' link is for. (don't do this in new threads especially)
* Spam your website over and over again.
* Be nasty or offensive to other boarders
* Be boring

it is also not polite to delete threads usually

# deleting threads after getting some replies is not proper too
I know, I know...so many rules

# but i can't help being boring

# It's simple:
a.) If something is worth reposting, DON'T repost ina new thread
b.) If you want to repost it, pick a new post on the board which you can REPLY to with your picture, you will still get the opportunity to compo it when reposting it as a reply.

for example, there will be many more 'original' macca posts, so if you have a repost, why not wait until one comes along and put it as a reply to that, thus making the thread all about the same topic

have fun :-)
