Can judges have a way to mark an entry as "won't judge?"

The attached screenshot shows my voting ballot. I am unable to vote on my own entry, as it should be.

However, I wanted to check on the possibility of judges recusing themselves in advance from voting on certain items. I don't know what mechanism would be used, and if it is practical.

In my case I beta tested 5 games including "When the Millenium" and while it isn't too much paperwork to make sure I don't vote on any of them, it'd be neat to have a checklist on the ballot saying "I won't vote for this."

An alternate solution could be to add to the None/1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10 with a "Recuse" setting below None. This could be for any reason: you beta-tested the entry, you don't want to judge certain content, you can't run the entry on your system, or other reasons you feel you can't be fair or know you don't have the time.

Note in an ideal world where we had infinite time to fix all issues, this could link up with #431 to make recused entries not appear on the voting page as well.
