Making option to set model flag to NSFW at the upload stage is problematic in my opinion, if system sets this tag with some delay. Designer might not want that followers who didn’t toggle “show NSFW content” get notified at NSFW upload. Some followers might even be lost due to seeing stuff that offends them.
I think you should be using a VPN. The larger UK ISPs are required to record websites visited by their customers. UK changes its laws frequently, and is known to arrest people for social media posts.

so not only is the option to tag NSFW models myself, MW (or some one) tagged one of my models with a NSFW violation. The model is noted as NSFW in the description and tags… how the he!! else am I supposed to be tagging NSFW models if I don’t have the option to do so myself anymore? lol
Not to mention this model WAS previously tagged as NSFW when the option was availalbe when it was first loaded a year ago. This is a bit absurd…

I was just wondering today if that still works, but you seem to be confirming that this bug is still present, meaning you can report NSFW stuff as "not being classified as NSFW” even though it actually labeled as NSFW in the first place.
yup.. still a thing.. and this topic shows as “resolved”
I think it’s a bit absurd that they are claiming to “automatically” detect and list models as NSFW, but can’t even scrub the model name or tags that explicitly state NSFW and then ping it with a violation for being not marked as NSFW..

This just happened to a buddy of mine for a 420 related item.. there was no manual NSFW option for him and he got the penalty warning, they never tell you what the penalty is though either, does anyone know what the penalty is.. even though they took away the option for us to not get “penalized”
They did this to one of my models a few months back just because it had the letters N-P-O-R in a certain order some caveman said was bad.
I get it.. there are a ton of younger folks/kids that use the platform.. and .. let’s honest… some of the creators with their models are just borderline disgusting at best lol. But…. that was the beauty of having a manual NSFW tag.. I legitimately don’t understand the reasoning for getting rid of it…. its not like they no longer support NSFW models… lol. There is no actual penalty, as far as I can tell from the 2 models of mine anyway, it just reduces the the amount of people who can see it (and it will never show up on the trending page).

As far as I know, there’s no real penalty. I’ve received the report a few times already, even though my items were tagged as NSFW in the first place and were correctly identified as such by the system right away. The report still came a month later… and it’s not just with this model.
After all, the text itself says that the only penalty is that it was flagged as NSFW.
If you click on it, the warning pops up and you can, for example, file an appeal - which is total nonsense anyway and just shows how broken the system is, because my stuff has always been tagged as NSFW.
I was even able to prove that, and I even tried to let support know about it (not appeal), but that went completely unanswered. However, I didn’t look into it any further, because I didn’t want to wake a sleeping lion.
What I suspected back then: a user got pretty upset and reported all of my models for various reasons. However, the system never verified whether the reports were valid, but as I said, there were never any consequences.
It would be pretty stupid to penalize a model for being tagged as NSFW in the first palce - just because the system figures out after a moment that it’s NSFW - duh.

Me too. It’s been gone a while.
i just got a woman in bikini taken down, was marked nsfw already, the site is full of adult toys and worse but a woman in bikini is to much, so what nsfw?
The simple rule is: If you wouldn’t look at it at work, it’s NSFW. NSFW stands for ‘Not Safe For Work’. This includes ■■■■, offensive content and language, and possibly also weapons or dangerous objects. You could also look at it the other way around: NSFW = things children shouldn’t see.
While it can be difficult to determine what qualifies as NFSW in some cases, obscenity, offensive content, and erotic material clearly fall into that category. Keep in mind: there are also cultural differences regarding what is considered NSFW.
Otherwise, post a screenshot of the exact reason. There may be other reasons as well. For example, because the cover was inappropriate. 
the problem is not that was flagged nswf , i added it myself (done when we could still do that) the problem is that they took down the model for no valid reason. And a crazy statement :
: “Your model was taken down because its content involves the creation or direct display of pornographic material. It may also include directing users to pornographic websites or attempting to solicit sexual transactions or services.”
i can find in one second 1000 models like that, appeal was useless even if i submitted screenshots of many models like mine. I just would like clarity and an a reason from a real human.
Well, at least we now know the exact wording. That’s important.
This isn’t about NSFW - it’s about pornographic. This message can have many causes. The cover looks too realistic. A description that is too explicit. This may not necessarily be related to the model itself; it could be due to other factors. Also pay close attention to the text:
- “It may also include directing users to pornographic websites or attempting to solicit sexual transactions or services.”
These may be links that were included in the description or websites that are generally classified as pornographic. It’s important to understand: This has nothing to do with NSFW; your content was classified as something more serious - pornographic - and that’s not allowed on MakerWorld.
Of course, I can’t tell you what triggered that. Important: “pornographic” almost always refers to real persons, real photos, etc. Somehow, you triggered the system. Maybe your cover was too realistic.
That won’t happen; most of it is handled by AI and the automated system.
there was nothing in the description, that’s why i am mad about it , its false accusation and 1000 points lost.
Of course, it’s hard to say whether that was correct or whether the accusations were false without having seen it. There must have been a reason. As I already explained in my comment, there are many possibilities.
If you’re unsure, you can file an appeal. However, let me put it this way: If you’re going to do that, you’ll need to explain the situation more clearly to Support than you have done here in the forum. Simply saying “False accusations” isn’t enough.
…or have you already sent an appeal?
They should have provided an explanation? Or was the last report the one about “pornographic”? If they’ve confirmed this twice now, then MakerWorld is pretty sure, that there was “pornographic”. Then it’s no longer an AI nor automated system error.
I think you misunderstood what MakerWorld wanted from you. You cannot raise an appeal by pointing to other models that might also violate the rules.
Somehow, there’s a piece of the puzzle missing here.
already made appeal and got same bot answer as i wrote it here. I pointed out that was a woman in bikini, no undressed, no strange tags, no ambiguous words in the description and i pointed out that there are 1000 models same or way worst ( law is no equal for everyone? ) . I am fine taking down a model if they can provide an human answer and explain why is that. Like this now every model is a shot in the dark.
You have to look at it this way: Anyone can upload anything at first - there’s virtually no review process during upload. Only later, when someone reports it - which is probably what happened in your case, based on what I’m gathering from the overall context - is the model taken offline.
The rules are pretty much the same, but someone has to report the model first.
not true because i reported a model that was really disgusting and was never taken down. I start to think there is some interest from them that overule all common sense
…and that’s exactly where you’re missing the point: “disgusting” doesn’t mean “pornographic,” which is what you were accused of. In your case, it’s not about NSFW content. It’s about “pornographic”.
Like I said, I just want to help you, but right now it’s falling apart because you don’t understand the difference. That’s also a cultural thing that everyone else probably interprets differently.
I see a few things here on MakerWorld that I’d classify as disgusting, but “pornographic” is just a very particular definition. As I said, it’s hard to judge without seeing the cover and reading the description.
However, I’ll write it again: Your case has nothing to do with NSFW nor disgusting; rather, it was classified as pornographic and deleted for that reason. Was that justified? Who knows.
I’ll copy the rules for you: Please note that this refers to real people, not 3D models - in other words, the system thought you were sharing adult content (images, links, text, ads, tags…). Your case really has absolutely nothing to do with NSFW.
The system has classified you as a distributor of inappropriate real human adult content (I can’t write the word without the forum censoring it; it starts with “P” and ends with “orn”).
a woman dressed in bikini is not pornographic, even a woman with no clothes is not . I am not falling apart at all. Those are words in dictionary . You linked the same statment again but none of those boxes checks with the claim. Also the model i described as disgusting was an under age girl with no clothes, cultural thing ?
