Bummer how "not my entry" posts that would have otherwise been eligible are now non-eligible for the next guy, or at the very least tainted. Why not run with that one, POTE? It's a pretty sweet cover.

THE CBR COMMUNITY STANDARDS & RULES ~ So... what's your excuse now?
Just my opinion, but would YOU want to make that your enrty, after being beaten to the punch? Again, there's no rule about it, but if someone were to say "here's some of my favorite skelly covers" and posted 5-10 skeleton covers, most of us would avoid using one of those and dig deeper.

...Okay, look, I don't participate to every cover installment to begin with: sometimes, I'm just not interested in the themes proposed, so I just watch from afar. This time I am though, and I was just sharing something I noticed. Both covers looked similar to me, I wanted to point that out, that's all. Litteraly. I wasn't trying to taint anything or block anyone, plotting against the next poster or whatnot. This contest is supposed to be a fun moment where people can (re)discover great pieces of art, or am I mistaken? That's why I posted this, and when others did it on previous contests, that's how I perceived it as well. I don't think they were trying to make covers non-eligible by tainting them for the next poster...Don't worry, I won't do it again. In fact, there. Done. I erased said cover. The competition is safe, isn't that fantastic?

I wasn't suggesting any intent on your part, just noting the effect. And I didn't mean it as an over the shoulder snip towards you, but rather hoped the powers-that-be around here would note it as a suggestion for a new rule. Sorry you took things so strongly; no need to remove the post. What's done is done and again, this is just 1 guy's opinion.
I posted a cover in a similar fashion to your post a few months ago and later felt it was a breach of ettiquette. While I don't recall if anybody called me on it, I haven't repeated what I feel was an error. IMHO, such posts are best saved for the end of the contest so no toes are stepped on. It IS a contest with voting, no dupes, rules, etc... There are other threads, and the possibility to create new threads, for favorite covers & nostalgic artwork, what have you.
