I noticed a large chunk of comments on here where people are talking about competitors on Threadless... and how maybe we shouldn't be allowed to vote on our competitors design as it motivates us to vote unfairly and score them lower than they should be scored... IF you are all looking at each other as competitors, then you are all looking at this the wrong way. Lets say Joe, Suzy and Bob all enter shirts at the exact same time... over the next 7 days, they rate each others designs 4 because they all did such a great job. After the 7 days, do you think Threadless is really only going to print ONE of their shirt designs if all 3 designs are great and well executed??? we aren't here to take away from each other, we are here to contribute to each other through criticism that hopefully helps and ideas that hopefully motivate creative output. I for one don't consider the general Threadless "competition" a competition at all... it's more of a hazing rite that you have to go through, and if you make it through alright, you get your design put on a fancy piece of fabric for a thousand strangers to wear.

Does my view that we aren't competing with each other (other than Loves Threadless) make any sense to you guys and girls??
