Alright, since things have calmed down a bit, I figured it's time to bump this, call it, and clarify a few things. Some relevant to MSpaint and some to the forums in general.
First things first; Skjalf is the winner with 3 votes to 1.
Enough people saw his picture while it was up and voted in favor of it and votes stopped after it was removed. I'd prefer to simply honor the votes and call it for Skjalf.
Please make sure your challenges and submissions are within the forum rules, AdSense rules included.
There seemed to be a small misunderstanding in what was meant by one poster, these things happen and when they do, if you will come to us with a level head in PM rather than starting a fuss in another thread it can be easily corrected. Other users can't do anything to help you, we can but we're less inclined to if you come in throwing punches.
MSpaint is a community ran activity which means it's for fun. Back and forth chatter is allowed and being VIP, Mod, or Admin doesn't bar you from participation, it also shouldn't get you special consideration; vote on the art, not who posted it.
Lastly, post deletion isn't that big of a deal. It's nothing personal and it can be reversed if need be, but if you seem like the type of person who will smugly hold reversal over a mod's head and bring it up any time something happens, I'm not reversing it and neither will Rooks. As for when to contact Rooks, I'll let him decide on that.
I have the urge to lock this because I don't really care to have what I've said argued with, picked apart, or "but what if'd" but I'll leave it unlocked for now.
