Anyone ever notice that on the last day your shirt is posted that right near the end there is sudden flurry of voting? And with this voting comes negative postings, sometimes the only negative postings on not just your shirt but most everyone’s shirt. AND these postings are always done by people that either a) has never submitted a design b) has a hidden profile or c) joined the site in the past couple of days - it’s usually one of the latter two. Doesn’t that seem a little…suspicious?

Maybe I’m the only one with OCD, but I am constantly watching my shirt as well as the ones I am hoping will win. I even do it when I don’t have a shirt in the running. It happens every single time. I’m not suggesting that Threadless “evens up” the scores or anything - actually I’m sure that they don’t as they have printed shirts with lower scores and scoring only plays a small part in their decision making anyway. Is it possible that some are rushing to make new screen names in an attempt to influence the final score? If that’s the reason 30 or 40 straight zero’s only drops an average by about .2 Or is it cowards that are too afraid to post their opinions early for fear that others will attack them? I don’t know, but I wondered if anyone else noticed this trend.
