Check or uncheck monthly masterpiece after upload.

I don’t know if this makes sense but I imagine uploading artworks whole month and then deciding to go back and say “ok, I guess this was my monthly masterpiece, because I haven’t done anything better” or the other way around “I thought this was my monthly masterpiece but I made something better now so I need to remove that tag and apply it to the new one”. Would make sense if such function would work only for current month pieces, and then be blocked for them after new month has started.

I understand the desire for such a feature, and can certainly see other people want it.
But unfortunately there is a reason for it: monthly masterpieces give your piece a slightly boost in the rankings for the top daily/weekly/monthly pieces. If people could change the setting after it was submitted, they could manipulate their rankings and give boosts to multiple pieces a month, at least when they are in the daily/weekly section (which is probably where most views come from).
If anything, it I think it would be more feasible to only let you swap monthly pieces AFTER the month is over, so it wont give you an unfair advantage on the homepage.
Still not sure if that would be work, but more suggestions/discussion on the topic is welcome.

Lospec: I understand. That makes sense. It would lead to manipulation opportunities. But yes, I see why the ability to edit that in old pieces would be fair and usable. You can edit which artworks in your gallery (if it is huge) will be shown after someone checks “monthly masterpieces only”. Good way of letting people see only what you consider your best pieces ( when you was not sure about that during the upload time, can be fixed in the future, without manipulative functions)
