I've seen it happen too many times where the leading design(s) are jacked, tweaked & end up winning. It goes without saying how unfair (and slimy) this is but it's damaging to the design community as a whole.
All contests should be Blind

We would all want that contests are blind for the fair competition, and more diverse designs. However, some clients do not care, or think they would get better design if designers can see others.

The only similar platform where all contests are blind that I know of is designcrowd. The problem there is (or at least was) that they do not have live moderators like we do, so very often you will see that copied art or clipart wins.
Others sites have open options for clients just like we do.

The rating feature is good, but the comment section on designs should be one-on-one because following feedback on other's designs are already not allowed.
Yes, that's right, but the rating is a reference for the contestants regarding the design that will be manipulated. for feedback it is also best to hide it.
Is that so, sir?

The rating option is a way for CHs to express what they like or do not like publicly. It also gives other designers a sense of direction to follow. If they try to copy concepts, report immediately.
I saw dozens of times when CHs didn't choose winners from the top rated designs.

There is truth in what you said.
In fact, whatever it is, only CH has the rights to what it organizes.
