@MakerWorld, it’d be nice if you just banned them (at least from the community tab) instead of making us block them or report each post. Or add spam filters and prohibit constant reposting of your own posts.
Yeah, it really seems to have gotten worse since the update a few days ago. I even saw a few users posting referral links to their makeronline accounts.
That’s bad… I mean right now it’s over run by human spammers that are asking for boosts but that’s a real bot. If MW doesn’t do more to stop automated sign ups the community tab will be so full of ads for Ugg Boots and fake Raybans we’ll actually miss the 3D print related spam.
They really blow my mind… they denied my report of that spammer. They removed the community post but they left the account even though the bio is that same spam about Canon printers… and the profile has a link to their site. They must be trying to inflate their “user count” regardless of if they are real members or not.
Yep, that would do it. I reported as well, but the reporting system is so vague that I didn’t get a notice of anything. A dashboard that lists all previous reports of accounts and users would be nice. It could have the report target, an option to edit/delete it, the status (accepted, denied, or pending), and anything else relevant. Also maybe a reason why the report was declined would be nice, and notifying everyone who made the report, not just the first.
Maybe if they moderated the platform would be better and more users would join
There are now dozens of these posts with just the hashtag and no content. Maybe have a minimum character length and don’t count hashtags? There’s also loads of irrelevant and spammy posts using the hashtag.
Here’s some more, this guy posts a photo of his A1M, then keeps reposting this guy’s spam. Looks suspicious to me, but he says he boosted spam guy and spam guy told him to use Tinkercad so maybe it’s legit? Either way spam guy is definitely spamming. @MakerWorld, can you write an addition to the guidelines to prevent begging for boosts? It’s really making the community tab a bad place to be.
That one takes the cake. Going by the bio and the pictures they are 8 year old brothers who are starting a business? This is the kicker, he’s asking for boosts on one of the accounts and has NO MODELS lol.
