However, it looks like someone could mistakenly include the StreetTeam referral in their link and not know it was a referral program, since it applies to all Threadless users. With that in mind, I'm going to remove the probation, but now that the warning is out there, I hope not to see the links any more.

Note that it looks like it requires extra effort on the part of the user to include the links, since a great many users link to designs without including the referral code...

THANKS, MR GATZBY.
I HAVE GOTTEN EMAILS FROM THREADLESS INCLUDING THAT LINK, ALLEGEDLY MAKING IT CONVENIENT FOR ME TO LINK TO MY DESIGN. I THINK THE ONLY REASON I DIDN'T INCLUDE IT WAS BECAUSE I COULDN'T FIND THE EMAIL, AND HAD TO SEARCH FOR THE DESIGN WHEN I WAS ADDING THE LINK TO MY SIGNATURE. THEY HAVE A BIT OF BYZANTINE ARRANGEMENT OF THEIR WEBSITE TOO, SO IT MAY JUST BE A DIFFERENCE IN THE WAY PEOPLE FIND THEIR DESIGNS WHEN IT IS TIME TO ADD THEM TO THEIR SIGNATURE. I APPRECIATE YOU HEARING WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. SORRY ABOUT THE YELLING, BUT ONE HAS TO FOLLOW THREAD RULES AS WELL AS WOOT RULES...

BAD SKEKTEK...
