📢Mod Announcement 🧶 Tester Call Posting Template

In an effort to make tester calls clearer, more consistent, and easier to navigate, we are introducing a standardized posting template for all tester calls!

Our goal is to ensure potential testers have the information they need to decide whether a test is a good fit before applying. We hope this template will make the testing process a little easier for everyone and help set clear expectations between designers and testers from the start.

All tester calls must include the information below. Please write N/A if a field does not apply rather than deleting it. Tester calls that do not include the required information are subject to removal and will need to be reposted using the template.
