I can see how it could tarnish the NO!SPEC name. However it may also cause a number of contestants or maybe even contest holders to google NO!SPEC. But we are getting into to an ethical discussion about what actions are justified then, and I agree that attacking 99designs is probably not the best way to raise awareness.

It actually crossed my mind that someone would do it because they don't support No Spec and want to create bad feeling towards them.

You might call it vigilante justice... Not that I condone attacking 99designs, I do find spamming them with NO!SPEC logos kind of funny. You might call it vigilante justice…
