I feel i owe the Threadless community an apology. I have observed and discussed the topic of submission and critique spamming with people's links. I have come to the conclusion that it should not be done anymore. So as an oath, I promise to never post a link to my submissions or critiques on anyone else's. At first I thought it was okay for the critique forum, but now after thinking about it, it IS ANNOYING! I will commit to only posting comments that are honest and if the designer of that critique or submission design decides to click my name and see my own stuff, then so be it. But I will no longer be posting and annoying all the other designers with my promotion. My HONEST comments should be enough to possibly intrigue the designer to check my stuff out.

My goal in doing this is to start a reform in the forums. I have not been a member of threadless very long by any means and I have already noticed how bad it has gotten. So if many of the more serious designers want to keep threadless awesome instead of being annoyed when posting designs, then we should all take this vow and help others realize how wrong and rude it is.

Again, I am sorry for all the spamming I have done in the critique forums...
I hope many of you agree and join in fighting the spam wars.
Good luck to you all with your designs!

don't worry about it. it's tough getting people to look at a critique blog. i'd suggest chatting and blogging as normal so you get to know people, and when the time comes to look for a critique you'll have a bunch of friends more inclined to take an interest.

good point. But i've never been a huge blogger. So I guess now is the time for change. oh yeah, and I won't start spamming the blogs either, unless I put up a blog that my new design is up.

So what do others think of the "spamming?" Is there a definite need to do something about it? What will happen to threadless it that is not taken care of? i'd love to hear what people are thinking...
