Lost for words...

Some input from Devs/Judges of the contest would be nice on this matter.

Look above your comment.

Look above your comment.

Yep posted 2 mins after was reading the screenshot testing post.

in no way shape or form should this entry be allowed to win anything.... it clearly breaks the rules and more importantly uses an the prayers of to a dying player to win a contest..

Atrocious, but at least the problem has been dealt with and perhaps maybe legit entries will be able to claim their prizes.

People are throwing around a lot of strong words about this.
It's really not a big deal.
SE just has to disqualify them. Shrug. Why the overreaction?

What if your friend died and everyone took a picture at the wake. Then, someone found that picture online after you uploaded it, photoshopped themselves in the picture, and entered it to win some random photo contest.

I think you'd be pretty pissed off they used a picture that was in memory of a passed friend to try and win a contest. Not to mention photoshopping themselves into the photo doing a cheerful expression.

You're right.
Let me find a picture where people are paying their respects for someone that passed away and put a happy clown infront of everyone.
Basicly, that's what happened here.
Not a big deal for some, but a huge deal for others.

Oh how we are so fast to judge other people and stand on our soapboxes and preach what is right and wrong. Pass judgement first, then dismiss any explanations later. Isn't it possible the person had good intentions? You think they feel pretty bad now? You hope they do? Possibly in their mind this was a tribute they themselves had for the passing of a fellow player. Maybe it just didnt come off the right way. Before you all go to the photoshop studio and gun everyone down because you didn't think the picture was in good taste - think.
