I am noticing lately that there are frequent violations to the forum rules on not asking multiple DISigners for the same thing. If you want options the appropriate thing to do is start your own thread and let multiple DISigners respond. Don't let a DISigner spend a lot of time on something for you and then let them discover that you have posted the same request to someone else. Yes, you are entitled to options but asking multiple DISigners in their threads just isn't right! 
Here is info from the How To Sticky that should be noted:
How do I request a design?
There are several DISers who are more than happy to help with a design. The best place to start in the Meet The DISigners Sticky. Look through the different designers, find a designer that you like and determine if the designer is still creating or modifying designs. If they are, click on their thread and follow the directions listed. Some important things to know
· Read the first page in the designers thread. They normally tell you how they want you to handle the request. Some designers want private messages, some want postings in their thread and others might prefer an email. Please follow their directions if you want them to design or personalize. It is frustrating for a designer to spend a lot of time posting how they can best meet your needs and then have the requester ignore their requests.
· If a Designer has a website, go through their website. You might find that a design you want personalized has already been personalized. I recently did some autograph pages for Catherine and another requester wanted the same design with the name Catherine.
· Please do not request the same design from multiple designers they have a lot of requests and do not want to be duplicating each others work in addition it can take a while to design a custom shirt and asking two people to design a shirt and only choosing one is wasting the other designers time. If someone is found asking for the same design in two different threads, the designers may decide to not customize/finish the design.
· If you want several DISigners to work on a request, post the request in a new thread.
· If you want something you havent seen in someones thread, start a new thread. Carefully describe what you would like and more than likely someone will see your request and respond.
· AND - Please be patient! Sometimes it takes awhile to finish a design. Many of the DISigners have families, jobs, other outside interests, and they are not at their computer all day, every day. If you ask a designer for something personalized or customized, they will respond to you if they are not going to do it. If you need the DISign quickly let the DISigner know and if they cant do it quickly they will tell you. If you find that you do not want to wait, please cancel your request with the original DISigner before you ask someone else (they may be ready to post it)!
Thank you for reading !!! (and complying)
