So, every time I see a new contest, I check out the entries. What I get is a bunch of steve-remixed and copied skins. It gets so annoying because I like to see the skins that someone actually worked their butt off to make. But all of those awesome skins get covered up by crappy skins that someone made on paint(the Microsoft program). This is part of the reason I don't like to post skins on contests.

I know most of you are thinking,"Just go and report them all dummy!". Well, I don't have time to go through 50 pages of skins and clicking on every single one that is copied or remixed or mob skins. I mean, who does have the time for that. I'm pretty sure just about no one does have that time.

If you think differently or agree with me, you can write so in the comments and I will try to answer all the comments that need answering.

I agree completely. I made this skin for the latest comp:
http://www.planetminecraft.com/skin/invaders-must-die/

but it has been drowned out by thousands of other skins, that all look the same... :(

I totally agree! What's the point of admitting a bad skin to a contest? Really? On this website what is the likelihood of a bad skin winning? It's not worth anyone's time.

"...crappy skins that someone made in paint..." lol I make all my skins in paint XD

But I totally agree with you, I think that before a skin is posted onto PMC, moderaters have to aprove that it's not remixed content and other things like that. (Btw, I know that would be extremely hard on the moderaters due to the amount of skins that are uploaded every day...)

well, at least you put some effort forth. and there could also be a cap to limit the number of postable things(like 6 skins/projects/texturepacks/etc...)

I think you should be able to report without clicking on the skin, its annoying having to click on the skin then scroll down to the report button. Just have it by the skin name
