Hey there and welcome!

i am just curious if threadless still makes prints like posters

otherwise that box should be taken out

Hey Brock! Welcome. :)



As far as ideas, I would just say that I sometimes find it difficult to designate a number to an impression (1 thru 5), when scoring.



2, 1, and 0 especially. It's easy to tell when I love something, but when I don't like it, I feel like I'm just deciding based on how much I like their profile pic.

sorry, I mean coca-cola bottle

just wanna say HELLO and WELCOME!

Celebratory pot luck! I'll bring cake.

I think scoring is fine, it's worked fine for the last 10 years, so why change it?



Unless it's causing an issue your end that us meagre community members can't see?

How would you improve scoring of submissions?



First off, I would take 0-4 out as scoring options on my designs.

if you guys would finally make a iphone app I would score everything always

it'd be nice if there was a way to deter people from only voting 0 or 5 :-/

Have you heard about the neither/scoring system?

Actually, I think you should offer an incentive for people to score designs. 3 STP every 1000 designs scored (for example).

hi, brock! as for scoring, i love, love, love powerscore. woo! i think this has been mentioned before, but a little box saying what the numbers mean (0 being terrible, 5 being outstanding) would be pretty helpful for new scorers.

you get a honorary bestee when you score over 100,000! ;)

Do you have ideas on how to make scoring easier?



Men have been trying to figure this out since the beginning of time.

This. Although some people might just sit there and press "4" until they have enough stps for a free shirt. I'm not naming names.

An iPhone friendly version of the site.



At the moment you can't view Flash subs at all if you're using an iPhone. But since we're all required to submit a JPG of the design anyway, can the site be configured so people can still view and score designs on the go? I'm on my phone ALL the time, especially when I'm on the train, and I'd be a lot more likely to vote if I can see what I'm voting on.

Okay, I really need to refresh before I comment. Joe just covered in one line what I said in a whole paragraph.

change anything and we'll riot

One, there would be a crap ton of people that wouldn't even score the designs and just press 0 until they got enough points to buy a shirts.

and second i think threadless gives enough to the community, and asking for more is ridiculous. they have so many incentives for everything, and free give aways on thursdays and stuff... I think people need to stop being so damn greedy and give some instead of take.



/end rant

The power score - it is great, but when you make a comment, it goes to a blank screen. Super irritating. You have to then go to the blogs to fins the submission so you can score it, and restart the power score



Welcome!

yeah - and posting interactive blogs without interaction will also cause rioting

Always thought a threadless scoring widget would be cool (that you can bring up from your mac's/windows dashboard), could easily increase votings (something à la powerscore but accessed with one mouse-click, might take away people from actually visiting the site itself though)

welcome! have fun!

and asking for more is ridiculous.



Errr, that's not me asking for more, that was a *suggestion* for how to improve the scoring system, no need to get so uppity! Hell I don't care about STP, I don't even use them.



Think about this - how long does it take to score 1000 designs? In the scheme of things - a long time...and for a measly 3 STP, those kinds of people who are so desperate for such a small amount of credit wouldn't even be inclined to sit there mindlessly clicking the same number over and over again because their attention span wouldn't last more than a few minutes.



On the other hand, it would provide a tiny incentive to those who are actually interested in giving honest scores to designs. Hey, how about making it 5000 designs for 3 STP - even the tiniest of incentives would make people participate more in the scoring side of things.

and second i think threadless gives enough to the community



Of course I agree with this, but I also think there is an inbalance in distribution on threadlesses part (think $20,000 prizes).

Sorry to pick on you like that Tess, I mean it sincerely. :)

oh hai!

skipped designs section would be nice because sometimes I'd just rather skip something.

Welcome!



I was thinking that too. Powerscore is an awesome feature, but I hate that I have to open in a new tab to comment.



and yes! welcome!

Hello, new guy!



I don't mind the scoring process much, but I'd like the Powerscore to be worked on to make it quicker and more convenient. Mainly I was thinking maybe a key I can press for "I'd buy it", and the comment box to be at the top, under the design, so I wouldn't have to scroll down to comment. Just anything to keep me from using a mouse. Powerscore is pretty convenient, but as I see it now, it's just a regular scoring page except you can press the number keys to score. Maybe even take out others' comments so that all there is is the design, comment box, and the score system. And I don't think flash presentations work in the Powerscore page.

Holy crap I did not know you could just use your number keys for Powescore!

Thanks Mike!

welcome new guy. i don't know what to suggest. i am one of those people that score everything. and yes, it's a time vampire. and what is powerscore?

powerscore

i use the android eris phone. i do a lot of scoring on there. i used to submit slogans but now i can't because it's under participate. my phone won't recognize that drop down arrow even if i zoom in, so i can't go to blogs on my phone either. :(

I'd buy it is 6 Mike B

Hello Brock!



Good to hear Threadless is listening... :)



How would you improve scoring of submissions?

I think Powerscore has revolutionized things - it's great :D

I agree. I know there's 6 on powerscore for 5 and $ but sometimes I want to 4 and $ a design, or 3 and $ a design...





How about ways to make it more accurate?

Maybe you can't score a 5 if you haven't been on Threadless for a certain number of months... I know it's a bit draconian but i think there can be issues with people recruiting everyone they know to vote 5's and whether those people will actually buy the printed tee is another matter.

I'm waiting till you ask for feedback on the typetee section but most importantly, the critique section ;)

:O



whaaaa I never knew! Whoa this is cool!

Hooray for learning new things!

Hello, Brock!

I tried the numbers thing. I failed. Is it my browser? I'm on ie. Must I switch to safari?

Are you on Powerscore?

Yup, followed the czar's link...

I thought ie was deleted from the internet?

hmm... works over here on my mac. Oh well, I shall score over here from now on. Thanks for the tip, though, you helpful folks, you!

Hopefully this is the right or somewhat right blog to post this in, but I think it would be cool if there was a score breakdown after a sub is don't scoring. Like showing how many I'd buy it's and how many 5's, 4's, and so on were given.

*is done scoring
