[SamGuest]

12 is my fave  

[LEVT_FL350]

Wow, every screenshot is a masterpiece... Incredible quality. Great job!!! If I could vote, I'd go for the 14th, reminds me a WWII battle or something like that...

Hey StephenD, I think we already know each other... Hows you??

[LEVT_FL350]

Now I can vote, so mine has gone to the 14th...

[Ryfly777]

Oh my gosh, Just vote for which screen shot you think is the best and not have to agrue about it.
My vote went to 5, reminds me of Top Gun  
Good job to number 12, almost voted for it but i have seen many screen shots like that before. Good Job everyone!

Byron, other mods, admins.

No matter how clear we make the rules, this sort of thing seems to happen every month.   In the interest of fairness to all the contestants, especially those that might unjustly lose votes because of such unsubstantiated accusations, why don't we implement a simple solution for the contest that works to make sure the system is fair for all:

Whenever somebody posts a comment, before it gets posted to the thread, it will be previewed by a mod or admin, or a member in good standing can be chosen specifically for this job. Posts will be checked for any violation of the rules, such as bashing a shot, accusing shots of being edited, or discouraging people from voting for a certain shot.  We all know each one of these grievous incidents have happened multiple times in the history of the screenshot contests, and will no doubt keep happening, no matter how hard we try to emphasize the rules.

Let us start previewing the comments.  I think it is technically feasible, is it not?  Posts that violate the rules or fairness, will be edited and cleaned before being permanently posted on the thread.  What do you think? Mods, admins, members, your thoughts?

[Excellent idea, we have decided to implement this in time for the July contest.  Thanks!

Sounds like a good idea to me!

FSimfan for Screenshot Contest Post Screener. How about that for a title under your name!

LOL, thanks for the vote of confidence, but no, not me!     I think I'll defer this
to someone else.    

[Brad, Jon, and Byron for now. ;)]

That's not a bad idea Jim. It would be a solution for sure. Let's see what Brad and Jon say about it - if it is possible...
