If people want to complain about bias, let them complain--as long as you're not actually practicing any, it's not a problem. Just butthurt users being butthurt. Here, however, you are practicing it. You've let your fear of being unjust cause you to be exactly that.

I myself have no rights on this site, but if this were on SPW I'd be right screwed, because I'm an admin there and my pastas still don't get much attention. But whatever. I'll hop down off my soap box now and post some links because this is a Damn Fine idea.

I Am Real - A short, very dark, NSFW story about a girl's mysterious nightmares.

Anima - A tale about a very oddly-behaving computer virus of unknown origin.

Erik - A highly experimental mix of humor article and creepypasta in the style of Adam Elliot. I think you aren't understanding. Guy is the only judge. To avoid bias towards the admins that he could possibly have (or site management in general, rather), he's choosing not to let them enter.

Guy knows us better than he does the other, newer, users who will be in the contest. This creates a possibility for bias that would rig the contest in our favor. So therefore, he is choosing to evade that possibility as a fairness, not the opposite.
