Help... Why is this happening

I am receiving patterns to test from one specific shop, even though I never applied. Never click the image or even go into the post. How am I getting all the patterns in my testing place, even the ones that don’t even have a name or image?

I am really confused.

3 of them I never even applied for, only the bottom right one. :person_shrugging:

Maybe the person manually picked you as a tester? Maybe you commented on some of their tester calls, and they thought that you wanted to test so they manually entered your name and picked you. :thinking:

I think they’re new to Ribblr and don’t understand that testers have to actually apply via clicking the picture.

Some people will manually add users as testers in hopes they will test because no one/not enough people have signed up to test.

I’d reach out to the pattern maker and let them know you didn’t apply to be a tester and they need to remove you from testing.

Alternatively, contact Ribblr and ask them to remove you. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I had those same patterns in my testing library so I just unapplied although I never applied in the first place.

I didn’t even look at the topic

I probably should remove myself.

I’m not sure if getting manually selected and aborting impacts your Karma, so just to be safe, message team ribblr and tell them abt it <3

wait! If you already removed yourself, it will effect your karma! I had to learn this the hard way and removed myself which made my loose karma, but if you haven’t removed youself yet, reach out to the designer and ask them to remove you!

Honestly, it looks like they accidentally added you as an editor to all their patterns, as opposed to a tester to one pattern. They can remove you as an editor without affecting your Karma. If they cant figure that out, you should involve Ribblr.

Important side note: If a designer removes you from a test as a tester, it ALSO reflects on your karma (just like removing yourself)!

You did apply to the top right one too. Looks like that new designer grants access to all her patterns if you apply to one

“Oh, I am so sorry! I am still new to the platform and learning how it works, so I accidentally added those patterns to your testing page by mistake. Please feel free to ignore or remove them! Thank you for your understanding.”

Maybe she made you a tester/ designer by mistake to all your patterns?

Yes, I added her by mistake!"

As stated above, Ribblr needs to correct this so the karma points aren’t affected​:+1:

Oh no, it’s ok. I was just wondering why they appeared.

“It was just a small glitch/mistake on my side, thanks for understanding! :two_hearts:”

“I realize I might have caused some unintended confusion to many of you. Please forgive me, sometimes I get a bit overwhelmed and mix things up!”

It happened to me too, I messaged her and she removed them from my testing library
