All of our affiliate design request threads are now closed immediately. We will be removing pins, deleting pins, and removing Zazzle promotions from our blogs.

I’ve been getting the emails about this all night - sorry you feel that way. Sounds like you’re upset with zazzle over something?
Yes but there are plenty of other companies to promote.
Wow! We really don’t understand Dee Mac kudoing our announcement that we are no longer promoting other Zazzle creators but that should just about sum everything up.
Why?
Sorry to see this happening!

If you are concerned about the “Z” – NOTHING appears in a product pin that has a “Z” on it. Have you actually seen one if you go in to try and buy something? I think you confusing things that are protected vs. standard products for sale. There is not one pin that I have on Pinterest that has a Z on it and not one that I have seen on all of the site. Where have you seen one on Pinterest or another public site?
Our stopping promoting has nothing to do with the Z.
In this thread (https://community.zazzle.com/t5/community-feedback/removing-affiliate-design-request-threads/idi-p/7871), I suggested that you remove our posts from this forum. We are seriously not promoting any more. So here are the threads that you can remove. It will make the forum better for everyone.

I’m going to leave them open to anyone that would like to contribute to them. It’s possible that they’ll have value to someone else that’s looking for similar products to promote. Ultimately, these discussions are for everyone’s benefit.
@Scott Then how would Affiliate Request forum differ from Show Me? The entire idea of Affiliate Request forum was that those who request designs are actively promoting them while Show Me is for showcasing “in case someone wants to promote”.

So sad to here this… I hope all is ok 
Loving all you have done for the Zazzle community. I hope you can find solutions and come back at some point 
Take care xxx
Thank you for your kind words. We are okay. We don’t know how much our promoting was helping others. We only got one referral. Maybe Zazzle was managing to get the referrals. We are sorry if we took sales away from anyone but our decision probably will never change. It isn’t just promoting that we have quit doing. We aren’t posting at all. We quit because something happened twice in a short period that has happened previously. lt was obvious targeting but it caused us to cool off as we were told to do. I have an answer to someone’s question. For most people, we would answer privately. Then, as of yesterday, I saw something Zazzle should be concerned about, but oh, well.
that sounds ominous.
I only design as love that I can do that here on Zazzle. So although I push out and sometimes support others via social marketing I am sure the promoting side of things is much more complex and challenging for those who mainly go down that route. Wishing you all the best in whatever avenue you choose to take now and in the future 
Take care xxx Never say never though
