Who is deciding which banner to use? If we are still talking about the openSUSE Subreddit page, then the admins of the page decide what artwork to put up and not put up. As long as it's in compliance with the CoC and Reddit's Content Policy they have liberty to do as they see fit.
If anybody can contribute why is my contribution of just setting the default/white banner not accepted? A contribution would have been for example submitting alternative artwork, or motivating the community to do an artwork contest with designs to put in the banner. Instead you chose a "reminder" to change the banner and then an unofficial poll, both very polarizing approaches. Unfortunately neither of your actions were contributions, they were demands that turned into badgering and you shouldn't be surprised that they are not met by the admins with open arms.
How can we improve our community by listening to what the community actually wants? Can we create a voting system?
As Simon already pointed out we have one but it's usually for things that would affect the whole project, not for grievances that are only specific to a communication platforms not everyone uses (in this case Reddit). Best, Maurizio Galli
