Err… who are you really? 
I really wish that phrase would have come from Bambulab themselves, for sure. I would be happy to see some “big” creators that have 90% of their models without any prints and only renders get dumped once and for all. You know, make a little cleaning here and there

I do not think many new users are aware of the upload policy or even read a smaller fine prints. The missing communication as far I am aware. Today, we still see a surge of spam models, random models, no picture.
Keep in mind, not every designer visit the Makerworld forums. Only a few of us here are active and aware of the new rules.
Would suggest adding rules before they upload anything in the upload page that is the best way up front about it.

Bambu Lab must stop this at the account creation and model upload stage. Cut off the bots and don’t make anything visible until certain strict criteria are complied with, to preserve the integrity of MakerWorld.

How do you classify this?
Hey I’m just now seeing this as a new Maker World user.
Can this please be further implemented to be actually listed when uploading / importing models pleaseee. Along with being added properly to the community guidelines. I had all of my models removed and genuine confusion as the report and the community guidelines said different things. Let alone the only thing actually asking for a photo being the print profile, and only finding this new rule through this forum.
Thanks
photos have been asked for couple of months so far… when they are updates on the rules you also get a notification in your system notifications. the rules in the guidelines clearly states that you have to upload a photo of the actual printed model.

A script for manual colour changes ? Seems interesting, can you send a link?
I just joined here recently as I said. And as I also stated they don’t list such requirement like they do for print profiles, the closest thing is the smaller text of Model pictures saying “Photos of the printed model, png/jpg/webp/gif, ≤ 30MB/piece, 4:3 ratio recommended”, this doesn’t convey such rule effectively.
I’m saying it needs a similar checkmark to the print profiles that ensure creators put photos of it printed at the least, especially with it being easy to import your models (very nice feature though) and not find out of such rule.
Furthermore the community-guidelines also need to be updated as they don’t include such rule.
This ensures future creators from other platforms can have a much smoother experience, let alone any rules going forward should be treated similarly.
A side effect of this practice of only offering real photos of the 3D prints at the very end, hidden or not at all, is that I am disappointed when I have printed the model.
Just the day before yesterday, I took another close look at a model (organic design) that is apparently very popular (quite high download figures), but where you can see at second glance that it is hardly or only very poorly printable. I then looked in the comments to see if there were any. And indeed, there were various attempts to print this model in one piece. One of them then decided in favour of lying the print object on the print bed. The designer seemed delighted “You’ve done it”. Others have broken this design down into pieces to print in order to put it together. People have also posted pictures, which makes it easier as these pictures can be compared to the designer’s pictures that he has added to his model as example pictures. Almost all of these pictures were not real photos, but computer-generated images. On one picture I had the impression that it might be a real print, in which case it was indeed very well photographed and printed, but perhaps the real photo was retouched here too. All the photos posted of real prints by users looked different and had obvious flaws, such as clear lines at the interfaces due to the assembly of the print from individual parts, etc.
I recently made a print of something else for my friend because she liked the object as it was shown in a picture. After printing it out, it turned out that the object was much smaller than the picture made it out to be, lacked crucial details and was not stable (even after it was glued). When gluing and assembling it, it turned out that the interfaces didn’t really fit together in terms of the distance.
Now I no longer know: what is Bambulab trying to achieve with Makerworld?
PS:
It gives the impression that more and more amateurs are creating 3D printed models but don’t know how to create them properly so that they are printable and look good. And yes: some things don’t look good with an FDM printer, that’s the way it is and that’s the way it stays! Then these people just take an AI or other computer software and make their model look better than it is after printing. 
It’s not exactly the case that the rapidly increasing number of uploads suggests that all experienced designers have finally found their way to Makerworld.
In fact, you can see that the more software on the market that allows you to create something with just a few clicks, the higher the number of design uploads.

I’ve spotted the increasing laziness of some Makers just like you have, its sad when you see character models posted in full colour (render) and misrepresent them with a tiny single colour quick print. Sure airbrushing is a thing, but its not typical for a lot of people who download here other than the niche group.
I used to get my models from other sites before I got into BL’s ecosystem so setting up a print was up to you most of the time. Some basic settings from the Author helped but typically it was hit or miss how the print turned out. MakerWorld to me takes a lot of the guesswork out for the majority and lets a broader audience appreciate successful 3d prints, be it a broom holder or a full-size replica of a leego man. Can’t help being disappointed by those who don’t share that vision and basically want to exploit the crowd with “popular” models and grab a few printers along the way.

It only says for models under CC0 = public domain licenses

you have to read the guidelines… it talks about something else clearly
i dont think so… you can do as you wish also and get your models removed in the future for not having an actual print image of the model. I know as I did got some removed also
true… but ive experience models being removed on my account. models that did not have a print image as they were old models that i uploaded off printables
Same here I even got a 475 point fine 
That’s because they’ve updated the rules about that but community guidelines aren’t which is super confusing for the designers. If they are not on this forum they have no way to have hear about the terms of this update.
That’s why he was asking for updating the guidelines
i’m just going to quote my post here again to make sure everyone knows that you steal and lie.
