well, its at this point that I would request that Elvis update the forum policy so that the moderators can actually do something besides moving posts ... this is getting out of hand ... The flaming, swearing, and now ... the ineviatable posting of ..... stuff ..... we're just lucky they havn't posted goatse yet.

I thought the existing policy forbid the posting of nudity or porn pictures. The above certainly qualify as a nudity pic. Thus wouldn't you be able to remove it?

I meant to add this to my above post:

Or since the pic is certainly not related to Winbolo, is it possible to move the single post to General Chat?

Anyway, the contest will go on. We will not be detered by those who seek to destroy or hijack. If I have to, I'll bring the thread over to the .us forum.

uh, as far as I know ... the exsisting policy doesn't say anything regarding nude pictures

the current policy .. as per your complaints fi ... states this
"* Moderators may move topics to a different forum if it is posted in the wrong forum.
* Moderators can post new topic in the news forum to appear on the front page of the site.
* Moderators may lock topics that are inappriopriate.
"

in otherwords ... there is dickfuckall we can do about this post ..... and no, you can't move a single post in a thread ... all you can do is delete or edit the post .. both of which are not allowed by the forum policy .... freedom ... isn't It lovely?

I believe this is what he is referring to Min.

There we go. I removed it as offensive materials are not allowed. Now who defines what is offsensive?

How about the one who starts the thread?

(ps thanks)

I don't think starting a thread containing pictures like those is appropriate regardless of who started them.

Agreed. So how about a universal "no pic policy" unless that pic is a pic of a winbolo game graphic.

Then let thread starter define what else is/is not offensive for that thread?

Extended Contest

Due to the popular demand by some contestant to expand the categories from the original 8 ,I have given some thoughts to expanding the contest by adding new categories.

The original contest will stay as is (including the definition of the Winbolo Skin Grand Champion).

There will be an optional extended categories that contestants can enter if they wish. As of now, new categories are:

- Best Realistic Bases
- Best Realistic Craters
- Best "Togetherness" Skin - the skin that looks the most completed and the best overall.

New categories will be added to the "Extended Contest Categories" based upon my review (with sheeps's advice) of players requests.

The one who wins the most categories of both original and extended contests will be declared the Winbolo Skin Grand Wizard!

OK, to recap.

Original 8 Categories:

- Best Realistic Wall/Blocks
- Best Realistic Tank
- Best Realistic Pillbox
- Best Realistic Grass
- Best Realistic Swamp
- Best Realistic Trees/Forest
- Best Realistic X-tra
- Best Looking Screen (the screen.bmp file)

Extended Contest Categories (as of now):

- Best Realistic Bases
- Best Realistic Craters
- Best "Togetherness" Category - that is the skin that looks the best as it is currently integrated.

The Winbolo Skin Grand Champion = Winner of the most of the original 8 categories.
The Winbolo Skin Grand Wizard = Winner of the most of all extended contest categories (Original 8 + Extended Contest Categories)

Ps. Why "Grand Wizard"? Because abilty of skin makers to make some of the amazing graphics seems just so….magical.
Pss. Can we move the debate on what to moderate to a different thread now?

Whats up my win-BOLO community. First post ever and im going to try and make it a good one. Nice contest here FI. Curious to see some of the material. I dont plan on running in the competition, however i do have one idea that i thought of that some of you can try to run with. I have been playin win-BOLO for over 2 yrs now, and 10 years before that i was into Mac BOLO. Now this game needs nothing to change. However comma-- I was thinkin of screen sizes. Our version we have now changes sizes but the graphics go straight to hell at any increase of the size. Just my two cents, Have fun.

I like that prize! :D

Some skins are designed to work in double size, such as underdogs SnowBolo skin and FI's compliation skin, xSkin.

Here is my skin for the contest, it's for the screen section of the contest.

1) All category winners get a virtual 1st Place Ribbon and/or a Trophy and have their names etched on my website for eternity :-).

2) The ladies will love you for how you would have been instrumental in advancing the state of Winbolo graphics.

3) Once you die and go to Heaven, you will get 17 Virgins.
