I do not think the way we handle contest winners will change anytime in the near future. This is because you are the only person to have ever complained about this and you complaining more isn’t going to change it. Most people are happy with how it works and so we will keep it like that.
You say it is unjust that the same people keep winning over and over again but I think not letting the best (best is obviously subjective) win is unjust. Do you think the Olympics should stop a country from winning more medals after a certain threshold? For example, if they were like “sorry USA, you won 5 gold medals so we are going to take this one and give it to Canada instead.” Sure, the Olympics and a discord server are two vastly different things but I think my point still stands.
You also seem to be under the impression that just because an entry doesn’t win makes that entry bad. I really don’t see how this can be the case. Sure, the entry isn’t as good as the winners (again, subjective) but that also doesn’t mean it is bad. We often get way more than 5 entries that we consider good but we simply can’t have all of them win.
Regarding your point about anonymous grading, it is true that some artists have distinct art styles and such and there really isn’t anything we can do about that. But believe me when I say we never try to make someone win or try to make someone lose. We pick the best that we have and those just happen to be usually the same artists. If someone new submits and amazing piece of work then obviously they are going to win. We don’t get any secret enjoyment out of having someone lose “just because” either.
I just find it odd that you have some sort of extreme hatred at some people just for winning contests. Some of the things you say is borderline toxicity towards some of the winners which is just awful by itself. You should be congratulating people for winning not putting them down.
To say that some of the winners have never made “a single artwork if it’s not for the contest” is just clearly false. Do you think that these people just all of a sudden became great artists? Obviously they have spent ton of time practicing to become good at art. Just because you don’t see their other art doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
Ultimately, we can’t be perfect and there are probably a ton of things we could do better to make everyone happy. At the same time, we are mods for a discord server. We pick new mods based on how well we think they can moderate not how well they can host a contest. These server events are just something on the side that we do for fun. This doesn’t mean we don’t care about server events or anything, we care about them a lot and try to make them the best we can but we have other responsibilities too. None of us get anything in return for doing this and Deca is kind enough to let us give people gold for winning. You don’t lose anything for not winning so I don’t understand why you are so angry and rude about all this. If you consider someone a seal clubber just for participating in and winning contests then I just don’t know what to say.
