From reading and understanding the scenario (and assumptions from info I have abt RGL), Mothership is probably not to blame here because I'm sure that his role does not pertain to deciding what goes on and off the store, he's just there to advertise it. Something I'd also like to say is that he's kind of filling that role Taylor is but 3x harder since like brody said it's all voluntary and he's also trying to improve RGL. Ya RGL doesn't seem like it's in the best spot but there's a few ppl I know in there that are genuinely trying to make it better. It may seem a bit overblown to make a post abt this but all in all I think Mothership's responses were handled as best as he did since he doesn't actually handle the merch store itself
Not sure about if this sticker was a bad lemon or if there had been quality issues regrading this sticker in the past but RGL should have removed it from the shop if there were reoccurring quality issues. Generally Teespring's design editor should be able to tell you if the resolution of the sticker you're uploading (DPI) is of good/ok/bad quality, and based on the product details of the sticker this looks like an outdoor sticker even though the outdoor sticker is out of stock. Idk what a custom version of the sticker means tbh.
So some of czarchasm's concerns are intended for good but maybe some misassumptions were made. I'm pretty sure (and not sure on it) GFX handles what goes on the shop + goes through the design editor and it should tell them when they are uploading the stickers if it's of good resolution or not. Seems like teespring's fault to me imo.
Also obviously RGL does make profit on this but profit margins on PODs like Teespring (print on demand suppliers) mean that the profit margin is smaller, then you also have to give some of that already small piece of the pie to the person who made the design then you're also reinvesting profits back into the league itself. So it's not like they're making big money out of this either
