Hands
we've all got them, well, except for people who haven't, but lets not go in to that right now. Hands, we've mostly all got them, they're incredible things that can pick things up, sense pressure and temperature, talk via sign language and even type suggestions like this.
Lets hear it for hands by spending a week shopping, animating and representing the fucking marvels.

If you click "I like this" you must give the suggestion a big "thumbs up" at the same time.

P.S. Comment if you agree that there should be a major rule change now and NO REPOSTS are allowed in an image challenge.

Dmmit accidentally clicked without a thumbs up to go with it.
Although I still think there's mileage in Airplane, but I'm biased that way.

I do think that trying to ban compo reposts is signing the board up for even more vitriol than we currently get on new compo day. It's bad enough trying to keep them in existing threads, let alone a witch hunt every time someone posts something that's a bit familiar.

Although it does seem a bit galling when a repost wins a compo, but that's unfortunately what you get when it's down to public opinion (see also George Bush 2nd term).

Dunno - nice idea but unless cr3's got some magic bit of code up his sleeve to recognise image URLs and automatically block them from compos it'll be a nightmare to enforce...

Two penn'orth duly spent.

EDIT

I'm not saying we should shout at people
just have it in the instructions/brief/post from Fraser that reposts are not allowed in an Image Challeneg to encourage new funnies and slow down the torrent of reposting we get each Wednesday night to Friday lunchtime

Ah yeah I fully understand where you're coming from
...and I never very rarely shout at people for doing stuff like that - there are other boarders far more qualified than I to do that! I just imagine the amount of shouting that would inevitably happen if we were to include an extra criterion like that in the compo, which loads of posts failed to observe...

Maybe I'm being a bit pessimistic about what would happen - maybe I just know what this place can be like when a few folk have their grumpy hats on ;)
