Is there any way to earn lanterns aside from participating in the NPC contests and finding them randomly by browsing the site?

Also, why is it that sometimes when I find a lantern by browsing the site it, instead of giving me one more lantern, takes one of my lanterns away?

I understand that apparently not all lanterns function as they should but wouldn't make more sense for the non-functioning lantern to simply not be added instead of taking a lantern away?

These would be all my questions. Aside from that I would like to suggest making lanterns earnable by posting, that way the event could help encourage conversation between users :#.
