Is it at all possible that the artist’s name stays hidden until all the voting has finished at the end of the month?

I believe that it would seriously cut down on personal remarks and all banter will be subject related. It will also reduce buddying up and voting for the designer and not the design.

Just throwing it out there, use it, don’t use it

Seeing as we have two sides of this coin, why not give the designer the option to show his/her name and also choose whether or not they want their designs commented on.

You then have a couple of options

1) Just the design, no name, no comments.
2) The design, no name, comments enabled
3) The design, your name, no comments
4) The design, your name, comments enabled.

This should keep everyone happy?

I hear you and if everyone stays civil then it works like a charm.
I joined springleap for the fun factor. It’s fun designing and seeing the voting, but if someone ripping your design to shreds because you mentioned something negative about theirs (worst case senario)then the fun starts decreasing.

And what you said about it being a tough world in the creative working arena. True, but why does springleap have to be the same. I’m sure everyone gets a tough run at work, why do we need to get it here. This place o serene happiness.

I’m just not a big fan of little clicks and online bullying and my suggestion was only to nip that in the bud. things seemed to have calmed down now so maybe it’s not necessary anymore.

I think it is VERY important for people to keep their names on their designs – be proud of your work! Stand by it!

And for people who have ego issues – this is a perfect time to get over it – try a Art/architecture critique sometime – if you think this is a tough crowd….

Hell – try any ad agency – that is one stony faced bunch let me tell you – there are no punches pulled there.

It’s always fun to see the springleapers have a good go at each other – the trick for the artist is to know what and who to listen to.

Water off a duck’s back and all that!

I have really been amazed at how some of the artists at springleap have really learned from all the critique and taken their art to the next level the following month.

And HEY! – let’s be honest : what would springleap be without Tay vs Dusty vs Topgun vs KingC vs everyone else ;)

All big families have their squabbles after all :)

I would have to disagree, cause it could work both ways, someone might comment or give a better score because they know your work or style.

Also how would comment back or say thank you or respond to someones critique? I think its a good idea, but with a tight niched fam like we got here (insert we are the world song now) I wanna know what Sebell is coming out with, cause I easily see someone doing a design using someone style hoping more would vote cause they thought it was someone else…

tricky slipper slope..

Ya this is a good idea, but i think a lot of people kind of know the other designers’ work. But still agree with this.

Worth1000.com works the same. Good thinking slippy, slipster, slippo…

Ya this is actually pretty clever, reduces bias a whole lot!
