A Suggestion to Stop Profile Spam

Otherwise known as a stealth-remix,

Some of my designs are a Modular system rather than a specific model, so I provide an example as a profile but it’s up to the user to decide on what parts to use

I had an awesome person make a different example to mine, upload a new profile stating what theirs offers, and credit me the points

It was great, they saw some potential and offered a solution that benefits the end user.

Honestly if it defaulted to the creator but I had the option to “boost” them in a way as a thanks for a good profile, I’d do it

less invasive: perhaps just hide community print profiles behind a “click here for community profiles” widget?

maybe make the community shared profiles visible by default only if the designer’s profiles are poorly rated or non-existant?

I’m quite certain that if poor rating unhid the 3rd party profiles in your suggestion, users would try review-bombing designer’s profile(s) to have theirs visible… Other than that not a bad suggestion IMHO.

TIL: There’s a cool feature - the designer can recommend a profile they deem “good” or “worthy” addition or something like that:

From the model’s edit menu!

Would be also good to to have “NOT RECOMMEND” button there, but maybe don’t show that openly, just sort such “not recommended” profile below others?
