tester photo approval

hi everyone!

so this doesn’t happen that often,

I’ve been scouting around ribblr and have found a few people who don’t post images for their makes. (not targeting anyone)

I just wanted to say that we never know if they actually tested the pattern or not, bc there is no proof. could we find a way to get them to prove that they made it (without using ai or anything to make a photo of it)

I just want people that create the patterns to give the people that want to do it a chance and those who don’t as not to not be chosen as testers.

thanks for consideration! love you guys

Yeah I’ve seen this a few times too! I was in a tester group one time and this one person would not send a pic and consistently make excuses about it!:woman_facepalming:t4: (guessing they never actually made the product)

I’ve seen several that delete the journal after testing is over. :frowning:

The only time I’ve EVER posted something other than my actual make is when I’m testing a mystery pattern. The creator usually requests that testers post something else (usually the yarn used for the project) to keep the pattern a mystery. I think that’s really the only acceptable reason to have something posted other than the actual make.

I don’t gift the pattern if they don’t post the make. I treat is as not complete as a designer.

When I first post a testing call I have the completed photo and journal as a prerequisite.

Note sure if this helps.

I’m sorry that’s happened to you. :cry:

Perhaps they figure they can get a free pattern?

I can’t believe the nerve of some people.

That’s exactly right. If they don’t complete the journal with photographs it’s an incomplete test. Therefore they’re not entitled to the pattern. Good on you.

If a tester turns out to be a consistent problem I would DM Ribblr about the issue

W*? Why no pic? Why delete a journal? I make journals of every thing i make…sometimes biggen, sometimes only one picture… depends on my mood and time
