Can we stop w/ the repeating patterns?

If there is already a pattern of something, don't make an identical one. I've seen this a LOT with pride patterns. Please check If there is a pattern of something before flooding the pending patterns. it's how (actually creative) patterns get lost and overlooked.

fr my newest pattern just got covered by a massive wave of pride flags that we already have sad i spent a long time on my pattern and the flags are just the same thing different colors that we already have dozens of... i love pride flags ofc and I'm sure the creator had good intentions, but spam of hundreds of pride flag patterns that overtake others' works is a problem

@MedicTf2: yeah it's had to go through and report every single one. Plus, I don't want to flood the mods inboxes

There is an option to report patterns for repetition

@aftonsparv_silly: yeah I have patterns that took more than 5 minutes that arent getting published, prob cuz of this

Yea pls my pattern that was doing so well (over 100 votes) is just drowned out by repeated stuff crying and now its never gonna get approved cuz it's so far down in the pattern voting

I make all my pride patterns private on my account for this reason.

I think most of these people just aren't looking up patterns that already exist to see if what they are going to create is the same thing/extremely similar to something someone else has already made.

yeah, I've made some pride stuff, but its actually original (pronoun pins w/ flags in my style) and ive also made some other patterns and they've been drowned out by others.
