Correct me if I'm wrong, but those golden trophies are only able to be given in a site update. I propose that a few (EM, BZ, et al) or just all of the mods be given the power to give those trophies just as they could give their own personal trophy.
Why? Well, I'm annoyed by how Saika hasn't received his trophy yet. I really don't see why this'd be hard to code, but I may be wrong in this regard. Until 3J comes back with an update, poor Saika (and any other contest winner in the meantime) won't have the contest trophy on display for all to see.
