Apparently it's frowned upon to rally your friends to vote on your design.
this is a post on a T-shirt made by someone else.
"wow, what great details.
no, sillies, not in the drawing details, but in the fact you were able to rustle up that many friends to comment in so short a time--with detail oriented kisses. you must find it hard to sit down at this point.
seriously, after seeing some of the other artwork barely noticed, but worth comments, on this site, and then by happenstance coming across this "work of doodle", leaves me rather..."
it seems that the users on threadless really value their sense of community and are insulted when someone pollutes the system with friend rallying. the social environment is more complex than i thought and now i'm worried that i will be subject to similar scrutiny if my obvious attempts at rallying "pay off".
now that i think about it some more, threadless encourages the "rustling up" of friends and gives you convenient links to your design to post and email everywhere. I now feel have not done anything wrong in this sense and i will use this as defense if anyone calls me out.

Well that's a load of hooey. We're all rooting for you, and you don't even need it. Your work speaks for itself :)
pshaw. having your friends rally for you invites them to threadless and therefore invites them to vote for/buy other tees.
