You are most welcome to become a more active member of this community. It's nice to see your ambition and enthusiasm. It's also admirable that you are looking for ways to gain feedback and improve as a designer.
But you won't go far toward that goal if you misuse the resources available to you. You shouldn't be posting here if you do so because this workshop is more active than others; this thread was created for the specific purpose of giving feedback on designs that are intending submission to the SoV and are nearly ready to be. This is a service the community provides to help designs get through Yea/Nay gauntlet of SoV and VC. Posting multiple designs in a short timeframe, as well as making swift, sweeping changes to them, suggests otherwise. Please realize that it takes real time and effort to critique someone's custom, so this thread needs to remain focused on it's goal.
Your own customs thread is the best thing you can use for self-improvement. It can be deflating when others don't jump in and comment, but it's a give-and-take relationship. A while back I wrote a Codex article
Criticism: Giving and Taking for creators like you that are looking for feedback from the community. Please take a look.
I wrote a number of other Codex articles to assist customs creators as well, such as
Designing for SoV Approval.
