im thinking on making a topic about 2 times a week featuring things like new patterns and polls
i think it would be fun to add challenges and polls with it too :slight_smile:
we can also feature some patterns here :smiley:
let me know if you want to join me :heart:

I’m not sure what you are proposing …
We already have pattern-drop for new patterns
and poll for new polls
and a weekly shop shoutout thread
Are you saying that we need another post to list all of those posts again?

I really like this idea! I would love to help out with the news if you want help. You could call it Ribblr News or Ribblr Recap.

you can try, but the community does not support double posting, it will get merged if it only repeats something posted less than 7 days ago

if i understand correctly, you mean double posting as in posting the same topic 2 times but with 2 different accounts? i didn’t originally plan to do it like that, just one person posts the topic while we all work on it together.

what it sounded like was you posting a thread where you gather and repeat all of the new posts over a few days and put them in one spot and call it a recap or news , like a school paper. But that would mean that you would be reposting what is already posted, and the system responds to that as spam.
If I post a pattern drop and 3 days later you post “did you see granny’s new pattern drop?” that was double posting. In those cases where you want to support a person/shop/thread the correct way is to reply to the original post to “bump” it back to the top. Otherwise the community gets cluttered quickly with “news” about the same things over and over without there actually being anything new.
Now if you are saying you would like to post a challenge every week, that is different… I have also suggested a stitch of the week, tip of the week, and more CALs and KALs but they either never get off the ground or they fizzle out quickly.
I hope all of that made sense, I just didn’t want you to get too far into that idea and find out it wouldn’t really work.
