       @wolf480pl @_ @sir Correct, you need to tag it with "invalid" or "spam" and you get one week to do it. Their update didn't seem to address this, to the contrary, they instead want to recommend spammers to create PRs for their own repos if they want the t-shirt that badly. Hilarious.

       @sir In 2017, I asked them to stop sending people to one of my (joke) repos because we also got flooded with PRs. They answered they couldn't do anything on their end.In 2019, they sent us a ticket accusing us of enabling cheaters or something, but kindly "allowed" us to keep the repo https://github.com/illacceptanything/illacceptanything/issues/988

       @sir I would like to share something about the actual T-shirts. I have a T-shirt from 2018. The quality of the materials is extremely low. I'm providing pictures. The grey one T-shirt is bought from here: https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16800991013The #Hacktoberfest one is worn and washed no more than 10 times. And it is only 50% cotton (which gives me itching on the skin). I've stopped wearing it.The grey one is worn and washed more than 250 times. It's a 100% cotton. I have it more than 5 years and wear it at home at least once a week. And this T-shirt is not the oldest one that I wear - the current champion is 10 years old and counting.Take a note of how much textile fibre lint (fluff) there is. Compare it with the other T-shirt.One part of the process to get hi-quality cotton fabric is removing the short fibres. You loose material on the way but you are getting a lot more durable fabric.More about the fluff/lint:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lint_(material)https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20150709-the-curious-truth-about-belly-button-fluff

       @_1751015 @sir Polyester tends to pill, whereas cotton don't.

       @_1751015 @sir I'll have to search a bit, but I had textile science as a subject and polyester and rayon are famous for pilling. I am under correction, will post asap.
