Frustration
I am just a poor college student trying to make my way to Russia on exchange right now. I love buying shirts from threadless and scoring designs so I thought maybe I would try my hand at submitting. Much to my avail my designs have all been decline by threadless!! I started posting designs in the critique section, but there they gather no attention, comments, suggestions, etc. This whole process of being approved by threadless even to be scored has proven quite frustrating!

Tips or hints to getting approved?

So where do I go from here. Need I be overtly clever and synical in my designing for threadless to approve my design? Why can't my designs just be pushed into voting and rejected for printing there?

because there is enough crap to vote on already.... no need to add more to the pile.

I suppose I have a personal bias towards my own crap. Though I guess I really am just looking to more feedback as to why entries are declined besides the blanket rejection statement.

you can start a blog and put the design in it, there you normally get more attention than in critiques..

oh, and i just looked at your critiques.. try looking to printed designs and see what was printed.. for most of them, there was lots of work put into it, yours look like they are put together too fast and without much thought to be honest
