(We thought about a random mix of all of the entries on
each page refresh, but thought that might that drive us
all crazy!)

The system code was written to offer anonymity if desired...

Seth. 

I don't think it is stated anywhere however that a condition of
qualification must be to suppress one's meta data if embedded
into the submission itself,  (did we ever say that?  maybe?)

Theoretically, one could submit a three-minute commercial
for your own hair growth products, or Tupperware parties
and still qualify under our, "anything goes" provision.
(Thankfully, no one really did quite that).

I guess I could have submitted a three-minute recording of me
saying "Cynthia Webster loves bunny rabbits!" over and over
without breaking any rules.

(One would just cringe in such a case ideally, and hope that
the voting public would recognize the materials innate lack of
appropriateness to the subject of War & Peace, and insidious
lack of um... er, well, "Bugginess"!)

(Besides, that would be "bunniness", not "bugginess!")

For example, there are a few extremely competent pieces
which I feel are just way too "normal" but then,
might "normal" - be different in the eye of each beholder?

Say, why don't Beeholders get stung?

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
