that solution might be too convoluted and drawn out...

To be fair, a lot of slogans are complete crap.

To be fair, a lot of slogans are complete crap.

You have way too many slogans. Delete anything under 20% then I'll vote on whatever is left honestly.

That's a terrible idea, considering the amount of slogans submitted per day I think that it would take someone working full time to do that.



Plus most slogans are bad, and not to be a dick but thew few of yours I read aren't good at all. Just following your advice:





Honesty is the Best Policy!!

of 26 votes, 8% like it

Just write better slogans, then everyone is happy.

people either want to wear them or they don't. the system works fine. if you don't get good votes you're not writing good slogans. just try harder.

Hector keeps it real.

I have only been a member for a short period of time. Kaslen, how long have your Slogans been up before they reached 60%? Surely you have to leave them up for more than two days at least.

Quite a few of my slogans are doing really well and do not deserve to be driven down within a two minute time span of them being published. I do realise that a lot of people are just not able to understand double meanings. I also give exception to people who do not understand Australian Humour.



That being said, I read of lot of peoples slogans and just because I don't like them, I do not jump down their throats and knock them off the rating scale!

Leon is australian.

if you dont like a slogan then you should vote it down

thats why that button is there

Againsbound, I said people not person.

I have never seen such a huge collection of nasty little scumbags in one space. Hands up those of you who are friends of that nasty little creep Leon? Oh look at that, what a surprise!

Hey Leon, whereabouts in Australia do you live?

It seems that being objective is out of fashion.

Also complaining about people isn't the greatest way to get good votes.

cut out the ones that aren't doing well.....if one of my slogans hits 10 votes and is under 20% I delete it 20 votes and under 40% it gets cut (OSC Comp slogs are the exceptions)



they get cut if they are at that % no matter if they have been up 5 secs or 5 weeks



If your stuff isn't doing well it doesn't appeal to this community....either change tack or change audience

i'm in canberra, why? you want to duel?

So you are going to Vote against me simply because I am pointing out a problem. I started this blog in response to someone elses comments to drive down votes:

I bet you could kick Leon's ass, it's not like he's a black belt in kung fu or anything like that...

I just went thru the first 30 of your slogs and found 1 I like (but have seen something very similar on an osc members page)



That's when I gave up reading them.....seriously get rid of the rubbish, noone is going to go thru your page if they aren't enjoying it

I NEED TO MAKE THIS CLEAR: I started this blog because I have been discussing this issue with other members of this community!



IT IS NOT ABOUT ME, SO STOP MAKING YOUR PERSONAL ATTACKS ON MY SLOGANS!

PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE INSTRUCTIONS NEXT TO WHERE YOU ARE WRITING YOUR COMMENTS: "Remember, be nice!”

Being Nasty is not being objective.

Bright was referring to slogans that are doing well (over 65%) being voted down

you asked.....its not a personal attack.....its advice!

I think it's you that's taking it personal, and you're the one contruing them as nasty. No one said anything directly about you, called you names or insulted you in any way; we merely said your slogans were bad, which they are, it's not an attack, it's criticism, and it's objective.

It wouldn't be so offensive if you weren't so sensitive

"IT IS NOT ABOUT ME, SO STOP MAKING YOUR PERSONAL ATTACKS ON MY SLOGANS!"



"I must say that I find it terribly disheartening when within seconds after submitting a slogan it immediately gets at least 4 drive down votes. It is an attack, and I have often wondered if these drive down voters even read my slogans. On one hand, I do realize not all of my slogans are print quality, but on the other hand, I believe that some are quite good."



make up your mind plez, k, thnx.

Hmm.....yes



The question you asked would inevitably lead to such a response.



You've only been a member for a few weeks and it seems you've just jotted down everything possible that came to mind hoping that one of them would catch on. Quality over quantity indeed. You simply have to many slogans, WAY to many at the moment and a vast number are not doing well at all. People see this and their attitudes will change as they skim through you're slogans. They see the low %'s and lose interest in continuing on.



Basically, you should go on a deleting spree and keep the ones that have had the best turnout.Don't just submit every last thing that comes to mind. Slogans need to be thought out and maybe even tested on some people before submiting it.

Also, many of the slogans are simply to generic.Take you're time in finding slogans you may consider.

covers everything I was gonna say:

threadless seems to be doing ok, so I guess the system does work and has been for quite some time.

Drive Down Voters are een love weeth evereebodees seester.

ADDER. Where is your thought-provoking post? What's that crap about??? You aren't allowed to be anti-verbose like I am.

if that was/is the case, i don't understand the need for this blog if you were discussing it, "objectively", with the community just fine elsewhere...

the only reason i see for this blog is so a more subjective take on the issue can be taken...

(throws hands back in the air) i'm just sayin'.

Kash, you'll get what you get and you'll like it.



Slogans are tough. On the one hand, with only two options, it's very easy to have them flooded by jerks trying to boost their own playing field. On the other hand, lots of slogans actually are really trite or else suck.

If I comment, what will happen?

I guess I'm mildly satisfied.



*leaves unsatisfied*

you're just being greedy

Nope, not greedy. I just have high expectations.

Give the man a break, everyone deserves days off.

Geez, Kerry.

^^Great song, Daughter of Eve

This is all very interesting and it confirms what Kerry and others have been saying. People are not actually reading the slogans. Thankyou DekuTrash for confirming that.

I JUST BROKE MY SLOGAN PAGE NOOOOOO

LOL I was just kidding!... :p



Also...

What are you saying, now?

Againstbound, I've been looking at your art and you've got a bloody nerve criticising other peoples work.

Hey Leon, whereabouts in Canberra?

man this is getting cool, its how I imagine watching myself on the internet would be like

Dude, Hector's work is awesome. Also, Hector is one of the most well-loved guys around threadless. I suggest you lurk the blogs a bit for you jump in with accusations...
