Dear Gerardo, your explanation is, of course, what I already guessed.
Nevertheless, I'm quite (let's say: very) surprised that anyone wanted to hide the creators' name, as it seems to me like a rather crude "military act of force", an imposition that I don't think has any equal in any of the votes, that I can think of, in any artistic or creative world I know out there. Have you ever seen an artistic competition where you, voters, didn't know anything about the author? I never have. And, I'm sorry to say, but if you assume that those who vote in your competition can do it in a "mischievous" way, well then you explicitly doubt the good faith of the same people you invite them to vote (WTF!), and for me (no ifs, ands or buts) you are the least suited person to organize anything aimed at the community. I will never vote for a work whose author I don't know, especially when the hiding of the name is due to the fact that it is believed that I may be conditioned. This offends and disgusts me. In my life I have learned never to lose faith in people, and the day people learn to have sincere and heartfelt faith in others will be a better day. If you don't trust people, don't expect they will trust you. Greetings.
