I'm not spotty!
I am fat and I have no social life, but it's just a matter of manners.
Someone worked hard shopping a picture, posted it and then a repost knocked it off the board.
The FAQ explain this well:
'I am really proud of my picture, is it OK if I post it again?
Please don't repost your picture as a new message. If everybody on the board decided to repost their old pictures then there would be no room left for any new stuff. If you didn't get the reaction you hoped for the first time, then don't be disheartened - it's just the nature of the board and something we have to live with.
If you really want to show people your hard work again, you could try these:
* Post your image as a relevant reply to another picture. 'That's a great picture of a kitten skateboarding, here is a similar picture I made...'
* Use your B3ta profile as a showcase for your best work.
* Make an image gallery and link to it when you post new pictures. 'If you like this, then look at my other work here...'
Just remember that there is limited space on the board and it's a bit rude to push somebody else's picture into the archive in order to post a picture that has already had it's chance.'
Generally people conform, out of decency for other users, but when there is a compo it seems that this goes out the window, which is bizarre, because you get the 'I like this' button in that instance too.
Just be excellent to one another and don't be greedy.

No, politely point out how what he is doing might offend others
but where he might not have realised the implications to other users of his actions.
This generally ends with an understanding and future reposts in existing threads.
Of course we always get the odd self righteous idiot.
You'll be posting pictures of yourself next.

Of course, behaving like a prick really does make the place better.
Well done you.

One or two vocal dissenters
verses a good handful of agreement posts and 17 gaz messages.
I'll stand with my point.
Play nice and everyone is happy.

This is fun.
Given that the board does not allow identical posts within a limited timeframe, you must be working quite hard at this, whilst I lay in bed with the baby trying to eat my dressing gown.
