Free patterns uploading for more money

Why? If it was free at the time of upload it should adhere to the same rules as full free patterns.
Patterns being approved at free even limited are allowed more money at the time it was free. Genuinely curious as to why this is happening?..

I think mods do the best they can, but simply cant double check everything that is uploaded, so they need our help.

agree, this should be normal

in knitting pattern someone never write FREE,
and charge 25-30 coins for Free pattern
it should be easy for the moderator to proof them on ravelry

BUT the one that say not free, didnt charge more than they were supposed to for free. maybe they forgot to write free in the title? but there are others who are charging more than 10 on free limited patterns then theyre supposed to, like 25-30. just wondering why?

Sometimes the patterns are only free for a little while, then are not free anymore.  So maybe when they uploaded it wasnt free?  Forever free patterns I agree with you though.

Thanks for raising the question!

when i post a limited time for free i always post the date they will be free to. if you are able to catch the sale going on you can also get that pattern for free. so why shouldnt the person posting it be rewarded with 10 instead of 5 credits then when it isnt free any more they get the cost of some one purchasing it. this is my opinion.

Ive reported a FOREVER free pattern that was posted for 25 GC and nothing was done - perhaps theyre just too busy.  Running a site this big take a lot of effort - JMHO.

People are posting free at the time the pattern is free for more than the max. 10. Thats my question, or issue. I’ve seen limited free at the time the pattern was free, posted during the free time go for 25, or 35.
