trust me i did this at my most recent competition and it worked great. take a little bottle of baby powder and put some on your hands and make sure you get both of your hands covered in it then wipe off your hands on a little towel or something and you should be fine. ---

Right before you go up on stage, go to the bathroom and wash your hands with soap and dry them well, even if you have very sweaty hands, the washing will keep them fine and dry the whole freestyle, I know this from experience. It really works. ---

You can wear gloves. If you dont want to, Wash your hands with soap and dry it completely. If that doesnt tickle your fancy, Ask them to bring the competition into an air-conditioned area 8) ---

Ill just speak for myself, I am more annoyed by people playing forum cops than I ever have been by any thread necro or silly thread or whatever, just leave the moderating of the forum to the moderators, that is why we have them, if thread necroing becomes a problem, I am sure they will deal with it.

No. Heres the issue. He left a response, of the exact same thing that someone already answered. And we are just a bit annoyed that he is necroing a whole bunch of threads all over the entire forum all of a sudden that are a month or older. I have been trying to report all of the necro’s he has done but I ended up stopping as it seems their are too many now and I don’t want to flood the Modderators inbox.

While your intentions may be good, it makes you look like a not so pleasant person when telling someone they posted in the wrong section. A simple way to do this is to just report it to a moderator by using the report button on every post.
