this story about the exclusive models problem must end once and for all. the rules are not clear and i have numerous problems with models removed from the exclusive program (with consequent removal of all points, both exclusive and normal) and i don’t think it’s right. there are thousands of exclusive models that then cannot remain on makerworld. MAKERWORLD MUST rewrite the rules and allow the model to enter the exclusive program only after authorization from makerworld staff, or when it is removed only the difference in exclusive points must be removed, removing them all is a theft!
::looks around::
Who are you talking to?
I mean yeah, I have heard the complaints, but, have ya noticed a whole lot of staff here?
You are literally sceaming orders at your fellow users.
At best you appear a wee bit odd…
No, it is not my intention to yell or give orders to other users, but to awaken something that really needs to be done to the makerworld staff. I know that until it happens to you you are not aware of what is happening, but the situation is embarrassing, and will get worse in the coming months. On this forum people tend to immediately think badly of what people write, but some do not do it out of malice but only out of awareness. excuse my English, it is not my language.
Oh I am picking up what you are putting down, but, from what I have seen the helping helpy people here… are all just really fricking awesome dedicated fellow users…
I don’t think in the 4 months or so I have been around I have seen one official staffer. I could be wrong, but if they are here they are awefully quiet.
If you want to tweak the nose of a company, do a few detailed posts in socials. They get downright chattyu when you air the dirty laundry…
also, keep in mind, if you are in the US, 32 states have laws on the books about contracts on-line have to be compliant with state contract law… I am not a lawyer, but I have hired a few…
I am not in usa… I am in europe… and I really did not know how to make a dispute against what happens to me…they simply ignore me and there is no informations online on which organism to speak to.
When its removed you lose all the points that model generated, which is perfectly fair imo, its not that hard to follow the rules
Make an original and creative model and upload it, easy
Many of mine was removed because they considered not so exclusive. They are not 2d model, not in categories that are not allowed for exclusive program. Just they arbitrary consider not valid for exclusive program.
Remember that makerworld ask to creator want to join exclusive program to remove models from other sites…
In this case it is correct and fair to remove models after months and also remove all points?
I think not. It should more correct to remove those models from exclusive program after change rules, and from this point they gain normal points.
I think that remove all points must be done only in case of violation (violation is to upload a model on exclusive program that is clearly not allowed as 2d models, keychain etc) and not because they decide that don’t want to have this model on the program.
If you broke a rule then yes, yes it is, the issue is people don’t seem to actually follow the rules as written and instead try to interpret it, they are in the “find out” stage
The rules exclude quite a lot of things
" Models should demonstrate a high level of detail and precision in design. AI-generated content, Hueforges, plane/flat/2D models, or models that are clearly not structurally sophisticated will be removed from the program."
I agree if you did not follow rules points remove us correct. But I do not agree when those are removed only for the reason that makerworld want to remove model from the exclusive program. In that case they are free to say “I don’t want this model as esclusive” but they have no right to remove points because this is interpretation.
I make a question. What kind of structural and sophistication is the right or not? This is too vague.
Try to search words like swatch, or hook, or fidget or keychain or sign …and tell me if there are no model on exclusive program… an hook can be more sophisticated than other? And who decide it?
And where have they told you that this is the reason they were removed exactly? because i’m willing to bet its because the broke the rules
So report them and get them removed, bambu doesn’t actively bother policing the entire platform they only look at things once they are reported, and someone reported yours for breaking the rules and bambu agreed
Swatch’s wouldn’t count as being valid for the program, hooks could as you’ve atleast had to make something structural for that which is designed to withstand x amount of weight, fidgets can be fairly complex depending on what it is and keyrings aren’t allowed no
As for who decides, that would be bambu and the userbase who report models they don’t think qualify
Changing the story? :
This is from this topic where you can somewhat see what’s been removed (Exclusive program - #7 by platini76). These are clearly against the rules, and the “2D” designs were against the exclusive program guidelines for as long as I can remember.
If you were to look at his current portfolio, which shrank a bit, the most popular design is a remix of popular solder dispenser from printables (it’s not the only remix like that).
Furthermore, last year he (platini) was threatening people who reported his borrowed designs with “police quarrels”. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone who had their design stolen or was threatened with police action might have reported these models. That topic has been deleted.
no dear I don’t change history and I ask sorry for the last year story to the person who was involved in forum. so please do not remember this story because it has non relevance.
2nd. you do not understand… I did not change story… the photo I publish aren’t model by me. those are model that I tried to report and they (makerworld) refuse all reports…
please before reply let you read and understand well the argument.
and please I would like to be constructive, do not attack me.
one of the model they removed me was an hook, a very good hook. designed by me. and better than many hooks that are still on exclusive program.
