Someone cheated on my Name That Cap Challenge that I posted early Friday. Not only did they have the gall to cheat on something that's supposed to be fun, they were stupid enough to point it out to me. *sigh*

Edit: The person in question was not cheating. Legitimate searching to confirm a guess resulted in coming across my caps by accident. Issue resolved & the person is re-instated to participate.


The person identified the cap I posted, then put this...

P.S. This time you were your own downfall. XD

and then linked me to the same cap, in my other PhotoBucket account where the episode title is in the file name!


I could take this in fun, but this challenge is serious to me and I don't appreciate someone cheating and then shoving it in my face!

Here's the PM I sent to this person...


You made a bold move with your comment on my Name That Cap Challenge post from Friday with the {I put the episode title here} cap.

You do realize this challenge is meant to be fun? To be a test of people's knowledge of the SPN episodes?

It's supposed to be about guessing. Not searching through the host's PB accounts of caps for the answer. You're essentially cheating. I'd like to believe everyone else is playing fair.

This time you were your own downfall.

No, the downfall is now on you. You've revealed yourself to be a cheater, so my only choice is to essentially disqualify you from this challenge. Any guesses you continue to make will no longer be counted.



I can't guarantee that others aren't doing the same thing, but this person was dumb enough to point it out to me. I hope most people are playing fairly.

Part of me thinks this is nothing and maybe I'm taking it too seriously. However, the other part of me is angry that someone would stoop that low on a fun challenge. What did they hope to gain by telling me? So they found a match for the cap. I can't hide all my many hundreds of caps. I've done what I can to make this challenge hard, but fun for people and then someone pulls this crap. I dunno....guess I'm disappointed. :(
