Yep, Brad was another example I was thinking of, but forgot to mention it. He
does some absolutely incredible stuff no doubt!! I'm just wondering if it is
appropriate or not to allow multiple entries of the same theme of the same
person, for the sake of giving others a chance at having their models showcased.

All I'm doing is trying to look for some more variety in the winners, and let
people who haven't won get a better chance of winning.
Not lashing out against your dragon in any sense :-) I just see it as an
example of something, as you put it, the two look very similar.

The dragons are great MOCs, I just hope you see my point about variety. What is
your suggestion to give the contests more variety, and to allow people who
haven't won a chance?

I don't recall that conversation. But, from what you've said here, it only
seems fair if someone else was put up again after dramatic changes, you should
be given the chance to as well.

Not flaming you at all. I only cited you as one example among several.
