So it seems to me that the profile page is missing things, and it affects the useability (is that a word?) of the site.

At the moment there are tabs for 'home',where your blog posts get listed and any subbed designs, 'blogs' where...wait...the blogs get listed again and 'slogans' if you have any *cough vote on mine please cough*.

Ok, so combine this with the forums, and the whole experience is tailored towards contributing towards the Threadless community. Awesome. But wait. Aren't there two sides to Threadless? There's the people creating the tees, and there's the people buying the tees.

So wouldn't it be great if your profile could allow you to contribute effectively to both? I'd love it if another tab could be created (or more...) which could list which tees I'm keeping an eye on. This doesn't need to be a public thing which everyone can see, it's for the individual user. There's heaps of tees that I've put in a request for a reprint, but until they do get reprinted and it pops up in my email, I've got no idea which I've actually marked.

What do you think? Got any more ideas to add to the profile page in this vein?

I know I'm totally busting for a printed tee, and I'm sure you are too, so chuck your best slogans that need love, kindness, and mouse clicking skills up here and spread the word so they can get voted on!

cheers!

Some great ideas have come out of this blog, so to summarise:

"I also wish there was a way of formatting your own slogan page - so you could move around older slogans to the top if u wanted - to give them some fresh air!"
"I also think there should be a way of adding "instructions" to some slogans that require a visual element - like a certain font - to work..."
"Maybe there should be another tab on the Threadless site called "slogans" (not v original) where slogans that are getting voted on appear. Slogan's move to the top of the page everytime someone votes on it! kind of like when a person adds a post to a blog - like I'm doing now...."

- all T-Lou, she of the good ideas.

"maybe after 20 votes, if a slogan is at like 70% or higher rating, it could land on a 'Top Slogans' page for a day, or something. that might help!" - Jellyes

If you like these ideas, head over to Pyko's slogan percentile petition and add your voice:

So here is the original blog:

I think the type tees scoring system needs to be refined a little. Here’s a few ideas why:

1. The score page needs a counter. I just scored at least a hundred slogans, and I had no idea if there were 10 or 10,000 left to score. It’s just a simple little thing that tells you how many slogans you have left to score. The Illustrations scoring page has this – the “page 1, 2, 3…. 17, 18 (328 designs)”.

2. Maybe it would return the same statistics, but I think there should be more choice than the current “I’d wear it” or “um, stupid”, for example the 0-5 scoring system of the illustrated designs. I don’t know about the rest of you, but when I score slogans I only give a “I’d wear it” if I think the slogan should actually be printed (and not always if I’d wear it, I also say yes if I think it’s clever and others might wear it). There are plenty of slogans, however, that I like the idea, but I think should be edited a bit before they make it to printing. At the moment I’m saying no to these, and if other people are voting the same as me, then these slogans with a future are ending up on the scrapheap. How do we fix this? Here’s a few options:

a) Just getting this idea out of the way cos it’s stupid: let all slogans be critiqued. The sheer volume of slogan submissions would make this system a mess…

b) Bring in a two- tiered scoring system that allows a critique at some level. You keep the initial submissions stage (though I would like to see a 3 choice score, like the critique of illustrated designs, ‘print it’ gets a value of 1, ‘needs work’ gets 0.5 and ‘um, stupid’ gets a 0, then work out the percentage from this). Subs scored below 50% (30%, 40%, 60%, pick a number) get ditched, never to be seen again. The ones that make it through get a critique where people get a chance to actually voice their ideas. They face the same scoring system again, starting from scratch. If they score high enough, they simply get printed, and if not, well people can bounce ideas around to improve it, and they can resub the amazing new slogan for the enjoyment of all.

Thanks for reading! Everyone is welcome to give their own ideas about this. Be constructive! My aim was to bring fresh ideas to the table, but that doesn’t mean they’re perfect. If you think it’s a load of codswallop, say why!
