How to report strange download events?

I just opened up Bambi Handy and saw my makerworld points balance had increased, so looked to see what model/profile received some new attention… And what I found is odd.

A single print profile was awarded +3 points repeatedly for hitting new download milestones from 10 up through 225 downloads, all in the same MINUTE today! That doesn’t make any sense to me.

I thought it already had more than 10 downloads, but no idea if it was 200+ or not. I’m not sure if something is glitching out on the makerworld backend or if someone has a web scraper running (poorly?) that just slammed this particular profile?

Anyone else see something like this lately?


Here we go, the model page itself shows 67 profile downloads. That number feels about right and from some months of activity.

M not even sure all those +3 points msgs are legit - I had a similar number of points at the start of the month (I’m saving up for the gift cert to buy more filament) - I suspect the transaction messages themselves are erroneous but it’s really strange either way.

We see this somewhat often - did the profile just receive its first rating? If so you received a payout for all the downloads up until that first rating.

Same situation if a rating just bumped it from <3.9 avg to >4

Thanks! That makes sense - still feels odd but I’m taking your comment as the answer. Thanks again! :slight_smile:
