Because it's not fair to people who can only think of one and then there are other people who can think of more and one. And besides I said so.

That is insanley glib reasoning. Its unfair on people that can only think of one? - ha! how silly.
I have never seen a caption contest at any board ever that had such a restricting rule. You should promote as much participation as possible. Somehow I think you made up that stupid rule for me.

No I didn't just make that rule up for you and if you don't like the way I do it then you don't have to post here, simple as that.

How long has this rule been in effect? Its a stupid rule with no solid reasoning behind it whatsoever so don't you roll your eyes at me.
Show me how long this rule has been in effect and give me a decent reason why it is so.
Somehow I think its bull.

If you don't belive that I wrote that on page 2 you will see Caption Contest#4, it is written there as well!

Then instead of asking why the hell you don't clearly state the rules each time I will ask if it was you who came up with that idea because its lame.
Creative supression! If I can come up with ten captions then why not, it should be open to the board. Every caption contest I have ever seen and participated in and I have a run a few myself in the past has never had a restrictive rule like this. I would kindly suggest reviewing your rules because I am a creative person and I got it goin' on, aight.
Now since you're annoyed with me (impartial judge yer honor!) you're probably not going to choose my caption (which is the best, easily) so who is it going to be?

Well obviously you thought wrong. This is the 10th caption contest and you stated the rule in the 4th then gave up. Since usual etiquette for caption comps on other boards is open for more than one entry and new people join everyday I think its clear that not everyone would know.
I suggest you take my friendly advice and drop the rule for the next contest. It will do nothing but promote more participation.

And I stand by my first caption btw. Thats the one to judge if the other doesn't count and was more of a joke anyway at the fact that my original caption rocks the casbar and the others are pretty lame.

Or you could drop it since there is not one good reason to keep it.
