Changes to the 1.5 rule
We've made some changes today to the 1.5 rule. (What's the 1.5 rule?) There are 2 main points to note:
- Every design will have at least 24 hours to be scored. We are no longer using 100 votes as the qualification for removal.
- We are no longer using an average score of 1.5 as the minimum score to stay in the running. We will now be using an arbitrary score that is made up of multiple variables including the number of I'd buy it requests and the design's average score. These exact scores will not be made public.
If your design is removed from the running, you will receive an email notification as to why it was removed.
We hope this makes things a bit more fair!

Hooray!!

Oh Snap!

Thats a great thing! Thanks for listening to all the feedback that came off of the 1.5 rule.
Knowing that you listen is always appreciated.
But what about designs that have been killed off in the last week or so from the 1.5 rule. By any chance would we be able to resubmit them 1 time only?
tesko
Thats great news, good call.
lenabean
thanks threadless team!
Perudoesitbetterthanu
hmm...i suppose...
kypade
doubt an ''arbitrary'' score made up of ''variables'' is gonna go over too well...especially if it causes 1.6s or so to drop. but, hey...sounds good enough to me.
Luke...
sounds good "threadless"....
you've appeased the masses with #1
and also upgraded the qualification process for yourselves and all with #2...
thats good business...
Leslee
It just gets better and better.
KatieTheMofo
Cool.
I like arbitrary rules.
bortwein
This does kind of make me even more nervous about being filtered out, but I can't figure out why yet.
littlem
hmmm. very interesting.
Kamiblue
Does this mean that we can resubmit designs that dropped out under the old 1.5 rule?
thatsnotnormal
That's cool. :)
Thanks, Threadless.
Operator
Thank you. Seriously.
shimala
no, you can't resubmit designs that were already submitted and dropped
Robsoul
mathematics my dear watson, mathematics
there were only some occassions where the 1.5 rule work against us, but it did serve a good purpose.
MoniqueH
Oh, great. This means crappy designs will be around longer.
travis76
yes, math, more people means you need to expand the voting system as well.
great idea. thanks for listening, if you did.
Kamiblue
Too bad we cant resub I think my Five Card Stud design deserved better-must've been the text
mrwalrusface
good correction
themidtownkoala
While I tend to agree with MoniqueH in general, I am excited to increase my number of submissions scored. Go 15000!
tripmachine
Thats good
moodyfaye
"Thanks for listening to all the feedback "
sharpie
that sounds cool.
Ava Adore
yeah thats a better scoring system.

People who can't take competition might as well quit. If a design is recieving a low score early on, it's probably going to stay that way. I like most of the shirts they decide to print, but who seriously has time to thumb through all the crappy submittions. I say the more they weed out, the better! (even if it's mine)
MrDomino
With a very few exceptions I have really no problems with the original 1.5 rule. I think you could even go to a 2.0 rule. Would some of mine be dropped? Sure, but when they do I know to try harder.
I think there should be exceptions of course, but that could be left to Threadless staff.
stuck with pins
Yes!
Finally!

Sounds a bit too mathematical to me, but if it cuts out the crap then it's all good.
caro.d
24 hours is great !
Iwouldbejosh
This sounds way better than before
bigshape
this fills me with dread/glee or something.
travis76
sigh...too late for homo superius...
but make the monkey tag 'threadless' and maybe i'll resubmit
biggdesign
oh dang~
Pifman
Well I think this is a good idea.
tesko
This is the new shizzle, ignore that other one
Sitniz
Alright, good deal :)
Peachcupcake
sounds a lot better :)

These exact scores will not be made public.
^^Aw. Why?!
OlliRudi
they're a bit too secretive here at threadless, it'd be nice to see how many "i'd buy it"s designs scored..
simster214
^^I know olli! I'd love to see it, even if it was just for my own designs.
w4nderl4nd
Why do the exact scores will not be made public???
adam antium
i'll never get printed!
:P
kaloyster
I've noticed some designs (very great too! ex. ste7en's) and it has a This design has ended early thing. And it's almost near to end scoring. Why is that?
hogboy
great
Ste7en
yeah I just wrote them about those two...I dont get it...I also cant believe they got identical scores
Papaprime
I wonder why it noted mine was dropped early, scored a 2.26 and lasted all 7 days. The notation that it was dropped early popped up this evening...?
steve_swartz
i think they have some bugs in the code that drops things. it's changed with the new site, as compared to what they're talking about here. have you sent email via the support alias to threadless central? or created a bug report blog with "SKAW" in the title or something?
kooky love
two thumbs up!
good!
