My model was removed from Exclusive Model Program, lost all points

Makerworld Premium Model Program

I have repeatedly requested this as they launch an exclusive program and then quickly changed it to be premium after everyone joined.

@MZip

You have a reputation system here that could help. The scammers tend to be low reputation and their accounts come and go.

I have been saying this for many different reasons for sometime.

Explanation of the "under review" status during Gift Card Redemption

Only a week late for this communication. You appear to be dinging new users with their first gift card which took them months to earn, average users with one or two gift cards a week and those who are earning far more. Someone who took four months to earn their first gift card isn’t scamming you. The average user tends to earn consistently, it would require something obvious to be scamming you The bigger users often have big popular models often promoted by you, those accounts have a consiste…

Points review required 24 hours after last successful review

If you ever wondered why does it only happen to me, it doesn’t it happens to all of us. I constantly receive these annoy notifications that my points were reviewed successfully, despite never knowing my points being accrued was in question. Yesterday I received my latest. I went to redeem some points for some gift cards as I was going to purchase another printer, filament, parts and makers supply items and I wasn’t even allowed to redeem a single point for a gift card before getting the dread…

Boost for Boost Requests via DM

This could be done in automated database queries with simple logic attached. I suggested something a while ago that would apply a trustworthiness factor to each user which could be incremented as new users performed everyday ordinary tasks and then decremented if something looks concerning. Then they run exception reports to flag those that look suspicious and determine if there is an issue or a false positive set of circumstances.

@MakerWorld

We definitely agree. A systematic solution is needed to help us differentiate and identify the scammers from those who are actually trying to follow the rules.

Shame you never said the same to me each time I suggested it.

@DWdesigns

A way to get around this is to require a review before admitting a model into the EM program. When a new model is published and the creator chooses to join the program, the model will be available to the public right away as usual, but to be admitted into EM and have that icon, a review will be conducted and it can take a certain number of days to get the approval or denial. Same review for existing models into EM.

I have suggested this before, seems smart.

@Johnny_Bit

Current Exclusive Model Guidelines are still quite subjective with couple unnecessary “generic recommendations”.

Plus, they change without notice to anyone in the plan and no graceful exit after YOU changed the rules.

@Johnny_Bit

You ought to have a lot more examples or even page with dedicated examples of “good enough” and “not good enough” models. Would be easier to judge if you don’t have any algorithimc way of detecting “good enough”

Perfect suggestion.

@Johnny_Bit

@MalcTheOracle had couple good posts about that wit good suggestions

I have shared loads, but, yeah, we can say a couple.

@MZip

I think Bambu has their own idea of what kinds of models they want but did not express it well especially in the rules. And there is the issue. The rules are largely unclear and it seems overly punitive to do penalties or remove all points when people were sincere about their entries.

Nailed it. Like we have all been expressing, myself ad nauseam.

@DWdesigns

So if one gets pulled over for running a red light, one can tell the police officer that traffic rules shouldn’t be applied because one has a good reputation as a driver?

It is hard to tell if this a purposeful misuse of a metaphor, but, given everyone knows the rules behind red lights, this is the exact opposite of a good example.

@Johnny_Bit

Back when the program started I’ve made VERY long post critiquing and going point-by-point over Exclusive Model Guidelines, suggesting improvements. I’m sure nobody has read it but it looks like the guidelines are evolving into what I suggested back then, i even suggested several ways that would allow model to be pre-verified algorithmically.

I had, I wrote one myself, albeit over a few posts in the same thread. They won’t though as by now it is starting to dawn on me they enjoy being deceitful and opaque when so little effort could provide clarity.

I assume they work on the energy of the chaos they wilfully bring.

Zero communication skills, each new message brings more unanswered questions.
