i was making an alpha pattern of an olive and it was my first time ever making a pattern. It turned out great and I was super excited to submit it! However, it was declined several times by several moderators and they all had different corrections. (lol don’t judge I had no idea there were so many requirements it’s my first time making one). But every time I got declined I would correct it and resubmit. But, one moderator just totally removed/deleted the pattern!!! This made me so angry and I have no idea why they did that. I worked so hard on it and now it is totally gone. Please help I am very mad and disappointed.

The pattern was declined multiple times for the same reason
- multiple colours where too similar
- the colour of the background was also used within the design itself, so it would not have been possible to add a variation with a different background colour

The reasons have been the same each time the pattern has been declined. We mods add numbers after the decline message to keep track of how many times we decline a pattern for the same reason.

If that number is three or bigger, we will add a warning to the decline message that the pattern will be deleted, if it keeps being resubmitted without changes. If it then gets resubmitted without changes, we will delete it. We don't do this because we are mean, but because patterns that get submitted again and again would other with clog up the review which would mean that we mods would need much longer to review patterns.

I think you might have forgotten to click 'save' after making your changes, because there really weren't any changes.

No, but you can recreate it from scratch and then submit it again.
