And yet, the submission winner isn’t even a member of a Klan, nor do I recognize them was significantly active in the community.

Additionally, some people may upvote the first ‘copy’ they see, and then when they see an ‘imitator’, they may downvote it, even though neither is actually a ‘copy’ of the other. And once one of those two is -5, the one that remains doesn’t have the stigma of being a ‘copy’, and gets voted on it’s own merits.

The true reality is, that sometimes you get the bear,and sometimes the bear gets you. You just suck it up, and try again. Hell, I’ve beaten myself in an ItemBuildr submission. Now that’s frustrating!
