Crowd Design Rules
1. Comments will not appear immediately and if you post the same thing twice right away it will get flagged for spam, we don't want to lose your comment so PLEASE wait and don't post it again.
2. There are humans behind these drawings and comments. Be constructive and kind. Following the loudest, rudest comments has never been a positive predictor that the plushie will resonate with the audience as a whole. And we mean never. We appreciate your passion, please appreciate that we are people too.
3. Keep in mind the designers of these plushies have the condition themselves or are working with someone who does and who is also reading your comments that they "don't know" their own condition. Be constructive, not toxic. Disagreement is good and part of the process, toxicity, rudeness and straight up abuse are not going to accomplish anything.
4. Upvotes are not considered as to whether or not a design element is included because many of them come in weeks after the plush is out of crowd design and we currently have no way of preventing this. Upvotes do not indicate feasibility, timelines, etc. They are helpful and we do look at them, but they cannot be the final word for this reason.
5. For the same reason enough people commenting the same thing does not automatically make it possible or feasible. Remember that while there might be multiple people saying something, behind the scenes there may be 1000s of people signed up for something to remain as it is, and we have to balance these two things. If it's a good idea that doesn't reverse what people already love, we will do it if we can. We have no reason other than feasibility not to.
6. Please do not post images or drawings, we cannot use them and they are often gigantic and take up the entire comment page.
