This guy uploaded 84 identical models with model names that looked like they were scrolled out using his face scroll keyboard. I gave up when I submitted the 12th report. I was tired.

You can flag the entire profile; click the three dots to the right of the follow button. Choose “others,” describe what they’re doing, and then include a screenshot of their upload page.

I just report the Makers page, you’re making more work for yourself doing one by one. Basically “Spam low-quality models”.

Ok thanks, I’ll do it right away (during the time you replied to me, this guy uploaded 16 more of the same model)
This is getting worse every day!
Please @Makerworld, finally limit the number of uploads per day and user to a maximum of 3, otherwise you’ll never get it under control and Makerworld will be a big garbage dump in no time!

Most Probably the BEST advise to be given to MW. I would up to even 5 in a day, but NO more than that. You can’t print, and upload any more than that if they are REAL designs.
Earlier today there was someone with 116 ‘models’, all the same thing

Yes, that’s the one. I hope that by reporting this cheaters the designers that really make things will be visible more.
One upload for each account per week is also sufficient. That’s several thousand uploads per month and still up to a hundred or more per day.
Addiction results in aggressiveness, which is reflected in the uploads and costs Bambulab employee time and therefore money.
Perhaps you should also separate accounts that are used by several employees of a company from individual user accounts.
In this way, the employees of some companies can use their labor to increase the productivity of their company. In addition, the potential to become addicted to points farming is drastically reduced. Addiction also breeds aggressiveness. And aggressively spamming uploads costs Bambulab’s employees’ time and therefore causes unnecessary costs.
There is nothing wrong with the fact that commercial companies with their employee base can apparently generate a dozen models (or more) per day in order to upload them on the same day. But then such user accounts should be registered as accounts with multiple shared users so that they can publish in a separate area. Separate from individual users of an account.
In this context, one can also think about the fact that commercial companies with several employees develop a completely different potential for creative designs and excellent presentations of the designs (because they have software available and the manpower to do so) than a single person who does the same thing Design not a few hours, but several weeks of work invested.

The rewards for posting designs are an attraction for the spammers. I’ve seen a number of accounts where the spammers have said they were starting out 3D printing and hoping to get enough credits to buy a printer.
It’s also an epidemic. Yesterday I reported 4 or 5 people posting the same print in place shark right down to the photo of the finished model. They also grab models out of contests maybe because they have lots of downloads.
They’ve all been low time accounts with low reputation and short posting histories. I think Bambu is going to have to be a gatekeeper like it or not. New accounts need to have all designs manually reviewed before they go live. New accounts also need to be rate limited - no more than one post a day or something until they have enough posts to be trusted. Too many pages of models are clogged with pure junk or stolen models - or both.
I don’t want to see the incentives go away. Those are cool and encourage high quality models and work. But Bambu needs to do something about the people ripping others off or just posting junk.
In the mean time, we all need to report. Provide a link to source if you recognize a stolen model. I’ve reported a lot of these users and most of my reports come back successful. But please, Bambu, do something about the spammers and thieves. They spoil a lot of the fun here.

I’ve also noticed some are getting smarter about cheating. And if we don’t spot it they get away with it. Bambu needs to rate limit these guys and manually review first however many posts. Users need skin in the game to protect reputations. Like it is now they seem to keep coming back and are upping their game.

And one other thing I’ve noticed is that some are getting lots of downloads. They are teaching bots to download their models and getting even more points and using server bandwidth.
If the models don’t get posted in the first place they can’t get downloaded by bots.

We need to start implementing a maximum of daily uploads for new users, at the moment I would only allow the possibility of creating an account only to those who own a bambulab printer. I read on a telegram group that there are some fanatics who want to shut down makerworld. The solution of the account connected to the printer or serial number of the printer already makes it safer from fraudsters
We need to prevent these annoyances right from the start, avoiding having to erase them later

Well this has to be the absolute new record of someone stealing a model and reuploading it for themselves.

He was like a child picking up shells at the beach. When he saw a beautiful shell, he immediately pounced on it, copied it and placed it on the beach.
Don’t forget those youtuber’s that yelled “Look！I got my Bambu printers free from posting on MakerWorld!” These attracted those without modeling capability to steal and cheat. While those attention seeker youtubers gain profits from youtube views.

Agree, moderators & curators would solve a lot. Also, a better/hierarchal information architecture - shift the filter feature to top level. Default to ‘with print profile’.

我完全支持拓竹减少垃圾文件提升模型质量的想法，但是我认为目前的做法是盲目且粗鲁的。
I fully support Bambu’s idea of reducing junk files and improving model quality, but I think the current approach is blind and rude.
一个作品是否优秀不应该简单的依靠是否没有实物图来评判。有很多原因可能导致作者只使用渲染图，比如可以获得一个整洁美观的背景以更好的展示作品（有多少人希望乱糟糟的背景比自己的作品更抢镜？）可以有更加适合作品的场景，，可以避免不必要的重复工作和资源浪费，可以更快速的体现创意上传分享等等。
The quality of a work should not be judged simply by the absence of a physical image. There are many reasons why an author might want to use only renderings, such as to get a clean and beautiful background to better display the work (how many people want a messy background to be more photostealer than their own work?). It can have a more suitable scene for the work, can avoid unnecessary duplication of work and waste of resources, can reflect the creativity faster and so on.
真正需要惩罚的是恶意利用规则获利的人，而现在的方案同样会被人利用来攻击优秀的创作者，在惩罚投机者的同时也在误伤优秀的创作者。
What really needs to be punished is those who maliciously use the rules to profit, and the current scheme will also be used by people to attack good creators, punishing speculators at the same time, but also hurt good creators.
我确信目前的做法同时伤害了许多作者的优秀作品这是违背初衷的。他们理应得到补偿。
I am convinced that the current approach also hurts the good work of many authors. It defeats the purpose, and they deserve to be compensated.
目前的行为还存在以下几点问题
There are several problems with the current approach
1.没有有效的通知：不是所有作者善于使用论坛（就像我）官方因该通过多种途径告知作者规则的变动，直至模型被举报下架前我也没收到任何来自系统的提示获知新的准则。
- No effective notification: Not all authors are good at using forums (like me) Bambu should inform authors of rule changes in a variety of ways, and I didn’t receive any alerts from the system about the new guidelines until the model was reported to be taken down.
2.简单盲目的评判标准：只依靠是否存在实物图作为评判标准，可以轻松的被人恶意使用，伤害到那些毫不知情的优秀创作者。
2. Simple and blind judging criteria: relying only on whether there is a physical drawing as a judging criterion can be easily used by people maliciously, hurting those excellent creators who are unaware of it.
3.不能解根本决低质量模型的问题：上传低质量模型的用户仍然可以随便拍几张照片上传低质量模型，只不过让人恶心的更真实罢了！
3. Can not fundamentally solve the problem of low-quality models: users who upload low-quality models can still take a few photos to upload low-quality models, which will only make people more disgusting!
