I see. I donāt do self promo. Think I did it onceā¦forever ago lol.
Anyway, Iām unsure how it would be implemented if it was, but Iām sure if we all stick our heads together and develop the idea further so we can give the best possible outcome for both designers and testersā¦we can come up with a neat system that makes testing easier and smoother for all!
There is another discussion from the testers I think some of these issues could be fixed/addressed at the same time.
Well I said off the hook because they arenāt doin it anymore and thatās a good idea to just get ribblr but honestly if thereās tons of stuff like this happening wouldnāt it just be easier to fix it now?
These ideas on the tester side are neat too! Think the ideas there should be included in this too. Would love to see it all together so that everyone has the smoothest testing process!
I could help think of ways to design something on the designers end to increase everyoneās efficiency.
As a professional, I totally understand deadlines, and personal limits. I recently had a project in which I had to let the customer know I wasnāt going to be able to complete the project on time, because I wanted to take out about 1/2 of what I had completed, because i noticed a mistake that was causing the blanket to be short 10-15 stitches. I gave her options, including finishing it on time but top would be noticeably narrower or fixing it, but it would be late. Thankfully she understood my desire to complete it correctly. Otherwise I would have finished it by the deadline.
And now that I have the extension on that project, it is still number one priority. I wonāt take on more than I can handle to ensure its done right and on time.
That being said, I also agree that as a tester, it would be nice to have a better way to track what we have applied to work on, where we are in the approval/decision process, and how many we are actively testing. The designers Iāve tested for have been good at closing out my participation soon after I am done with my tester, but I understand that this may not be the case for everyone.
I can also understand having a rating system for both the testers and the designers. And the review questions at the end of the pattern could be expanded upon to be a more precise/helpful review.
Sorry if it seems like Iām rambling, but I work as a quality professional and love to find ways to improve processes.
Ok so I have been doin research and I went to Gemini and it helped me come up with a descent plan but I want yāallās opinion on it āāThe āReliability-Basedā Testing Plan
āInstead of a hard, flat cap for everyone, Ribblr could implement a dynamic system that rewards good testing habits.
āNew/Unverified Testers: Limited to a maximum of 2 to 3 concurrent tests. This prevents beginners from overcommitting before they understand the workload.
āStandard Testers: Once a user successfully completes 3 tests on time, their cap automatically raises to 4 or 5 concurrent tests (the sweet spot suggested in the screenshot).
ā**āPowerā Testers:** Users with a 95%+ on-time completion rate and excellent feedback from designers can unlock unlimited tests (or a very high cap like 8).
āDesigners win because they get reliable testers who wonāt hoard patterns or constantly ask for extensions.
āCasual testers win because 4 slots is more than enough for the average crafter.
āPower testers win because their hard work and speed are respected, allowing them to keep testing multiple patterns at once as long as they maintain a good track record.ā
Please let me know any concerns Abt this idea, I can see what I can do to help mold this idea into something everyone likes.
Ribblr is no AIā¦ Can we not pull Ai into this? 
The environment doesnāt need to suffer to talk about this problem. We can handle it as human beings without hurting the environment
How do yāall think Abt this idea let me know anything that can help pls
I was just trying to get it to show my vision and research, it hard for me to put my ideas out there and to really present them to the world so this is what I did
It doesnāt matter if itās ai it can help show all the opinions so I know that Iām not just looking into my own and get the full picture
It truly does matter if itās Ai. If you canāt see how much people hate Ai because of its impact, youāre not paying attention. Iām not going to continue this conversation to avoid confrontation.
Iām kinda confused wdym? Why are against ai?
I suggest doing a Google search and inform yourself on how much Ai is taking up valuable resources like water, how much pollution it causes, the towns that have been destroyed by Ai data centers, the power consumption, how it steals from artistsā¦ Literally a Google search of why people hate Ai or specifically why artists hate it can give you so much information.
Thank u for letting me know, itās helpful to understand ur perception to of the matter and sry if I disrespected u in any way by using it!
Good idea! I find this happens myself as well, because I test in groups due to free seasonal time in the year and I apply to many tests sometimes and get none or one, or other times I get all and lie to myself that I can do it all 
this is a good idea
also, if anybody applies for to many tests, thatās their decision, it may be a poor one, but it is theirs. There is no reason to be mean, but you can try to say it in a nice way
I donāt think anyone here is being mean? Itās a suggestion for helping the testing process is all.
Unfortunately, their poor decisions hurt designers. If people canāt be responsible for their own actions, a new system needs to be implemented to help curtail this behavior. Or we should be able to report this behavior so that these limits can be put on specific users. And maybe after finishing so many tests on time, the limit could be removed
