User who only reports models he finds online

This user, reports this biography:

"Bio
Clay artist since 40 years.
3D modeller and artist since 16 years.
World traveller.

I simply don’t care about you or what you think.
I am here because I have BBL printers, not to download NOR upload my stuff for free.

I can speak fluidly Spanish, Italian, German, English, Thai, Russian… But I’m not really good to write all them that perfect.

I hate thefts. And here, there are a very lot of them."

the problem is that he reports any model he finds online for a fee, only that these models, as we now know, are stolen from platforms such as Makerworld, Printable, Thingiverse and resold on various sites.
The hero in question who has appointed himself as a policeman and vigilante, creates confusion for old-school makers who have also found their models stolen.
He reports to MW and they usually delete the model and request proof of originality.
Now, this user who has time to waste and wastes time, does not even check or verify who the author of the model is, he simply reports and also leaves comments of “thief”.

I think that @Makerworld should take action against a user like that and ban him, the purpose of the community is not to hunt witches and as he himself states in his biography, he does not care about anyone.
He talks about alleged thefts but he is targeting the wrong target.

Ok to report stolen models, but there must also be a criterion and not to report anything that can be found around and that has been stolen from the author himself!
I think that we also need an ethic for registered users and avoid users who register only to troll or cause damage to some other maker

Is “he” a bot?

I read so many issues about violating digital content property rights that I imagine this must be a severe problem for makers.
I assume “he” reported you or one of your model(s). What were the consequences for you? Was your model deleted? Did you need to proof to be the original maker? If so, how did you do it?
