Have you fixed your banned account? I have the same problem caused by their AI.
nope its the same… they said i upload models that broke the rules… but no more info so idk…
whats your name on makerworld ?
yeah same for me thats why i showed max pictures possible to point it out… also the reviews on the changes to make on our print profiles is 5 days wich forces us to change our accounts in very very short time I believe.
i do think something else has changed. im by no means a big point earner but i havent had a day under 100 points earned with many days having 150+ points, yesterday and today i was below 50 points each day. could be slow days but seems odd if u ask me.
yeah i really hope they fix that
i dont know if they have gone and broke search but the numbers just seem ridiculously low all over.
seems like almost no one is download ANY models over the last 24 hours… or did they just fudge the whole tracking system so everyone earns extremely less points … lol
So far my downloads and views seem to be in the normal range, but I did notice my collects were -48 for 01/09. Maybe that was a collection cleanup day or some accounts were removed? It just an odd standout especially since the number of collects removed would likely need to be higher to offset any added that day. ![]()
Yes. The negative value means there are more “uncollects” than “collects” that day.
There are 2 kinds of print profiles.
- print profiles that you uploaded for your own models
- print profiles that you uploaded for other designer’s models
For the 2nd type, its downloads/prints/views should not be counted in your “Model Data”, but only included in the “Print Profile Data”. We fixed this kind of issue yesterday.
This bug fix will not affect any points reward and actual data of models/print profiles.
Just make the analytics board more clear to the model designer and print profile uploader.
Hi @Marten ,
We checked the data of 1/2 and 1/3.
The data of 1/2:
There are 348 downloads from 6 bot accounts, they are banned on 1/3
The data of 1/3
There are 324 downloads from 5 bot accounts, they are banned on 1/3
Besides, we launched a bot detection program to block bot users this week, normal users will not be affected.
Well thats interesting. Then bots affecting all acountdownloads over makerworld - makes sense to all downloadgraphs shown here.
But my downloads nearly go to 0 or go to zero. i had normal downloads all over end 2023 .
Hi Marten,
I have sent you the details of the bot downloads.
Besides their bot behavior, most bots also have the same download (54 or 108).
Wow, very surprising. I didn’t even know that there are bots in the area of 3D models. I think this is also an interesting point for many other users. Many will also be surprised about the download numbers. Especially regarding Redeem, which can be fun as a reward. But if many downloads are only generated by bots, then the result is distorted. Maybe that’s a note for your update information.
I had also wondered why my less interesting models had the highest downloads.
Thank you anyway for the explanation.
Same here, I am surprised. So now all the stats are the reality now. Which explains the big dip.
Hi how about users that have a lot of renders in their profile. Didn’t the rule for MW change that every design must have a actual print? there are some users i saw with no actual print yet getting off scott-free, reporting them didn’t work at all. Is this some double standard in MW?
Some are even featured designers that don’t have actual prints of their models ![]()
Like this featured model is so obviously rendered? Does it need a first photo to be real life print to be featured (my 2nd question).
