This model is listed as a remix of mine, but it isn’t anything like it: Articulated Whale Shark Remixed by Zac’s 3d design projects - MakerWorld
It’s actually this model from Printables: Printables
I can’t report using the copyright claim, because the user gives attribution to the original… My mind is boggled; why did they label it as a remix of a model it’s not even associated with?
How would I report this?
Would sending the uploader a message work?
its not even remixed. just report it. remix means he changed it , its doesn’t look changed
the original version of it already exist on makerworld too
I thought the OP believed it’s a remix, just not off his model. But if there isn’t any change at all then it’s a different situation. I am sure there is a cateogry of reporting for this.
i sent the user a message in case it was done by mistake. But yes, there is no indication that the model was remixed at all, and I saw there are multiple reuploads of that same model already.
This is what I meant by asking how to report this sort of thing; it’s clearly not a remix, it’s another reupload of a model that’s already been reuploaded.
They haven’t replied to my message, and on the website, I only see the “copyright claim” link for reporting a model. Under the usual report guidelines, you can’t flag it as a copyright claim because attribution had been given to the original, which matches the original license.
This could be an innocent mistake, or OP may have just uncovered a new way of gaming for points: uploading an existing model as a remix of another similar model. This way it can pass the definition of remix and be allowed to stay on.
You can and you should, as the attribution plays no role in this.
The user uploaded the model as “Original” which it isn’t.
It’s also not a remix. And it can’t be uploaded to just “share” the model as bambu has disabled that upload type for the time being.
see guidelines.
Please select the correct upload type for your models:
Models that belong to another creator but are uploaded as “Original” will be taken down.
and also this.
This model was taken down due to an incorrect upload type. To ensure proper categorization: 1. If the model is created by yourself, select ‘Original’ as the upload type. 2. If the model is modified from another model (with appropriate remixing rights), select ‘Remix.’ 3. Note that minor changes like scaling, cutting, colorizing, fixing non-manifold facets, etc., aren’t considered remixing. 4. Our system is undergoing an upgrade, and the share function is temporarily unavailable. Kindly await its restoration. Going forward, please ensure compliance with our community guidelines: Community Guidelines We appreciate your understanding in this matter.
You can use the “Report” then choose “Other” to report it.
it’s not. It’s the typical thing some users to try and get points. It’s always the same method and the same models.
“His” other models are also uploaded and remix and link to totally different models.
i’ve sent a report about the model. I wasn’t sure what the best approach would have been in this case, which was why I wanted to ask for other peoples opinions/know-how on these situations.
Thanks for the help.
If that’s the case, this looks like yet another creative way trying to game the system. If BL moderators are not checking if the “remix” is in fact another existing original model, the upload can easlly meet the definition of remix, and be allowed to stay on.
you want to know another method? Upload models using the Public domain license.
Nothing bambu can/will do against it and you can still earn credits.
This account is full of it.
I believe it’s a matter of will, not a matter of ability, to have this under better control.
For example, as a start, grant rights of upload, download and print only to accounts that either 1) have bought a BL printer or 2) have been verified through some other means such as binding the acccout to a mobile phone number.
They could shift the whole model. Make a designers program with eligibility requirements. Something like you’ve gotta have 100 followers and 100 prints of your models, and would need to be screened and approved by Makerworld. Something like that. I’m sure even suggesting something like that will upset people though.
Yeah, it’s just another one of the fly by point grabbers. That model is one of their top repeat uploads. If you look at the rest of the models they are all rip offs too.
I think that will be too restricted. One has to start somewhere to get to 100 followers :).
The purpose is to add a degree of deterrence to people who intend to game the system. Right now there is little to none. If one account gets banned, another account can be set up easily to start anew. So there is no fear of getting caught.
This shark is a favorite among thieves
I reported no less than 10
Haha, well. Yeahhh. To be fair, I was just pulling a number out of thin air. I was looking on makerworld and realizing that’d probably be a bit high. Doesn’t youtube work kind of along those means though? I don’t think you can monetize until you can hit certain numbers.
Really, any form of restrictions will be met with resistance. It is really nice right now in that if you’re a designer and you’ve got the gumption, you can just get in there and start earning. It’s really encouraging.
