There is this one winner in the Trophy contest that didn’t seem to qualify for the rules of the competition. Is MW vetting entries with sufficient check?
Same design, same photo, just with and without support? Even with optimization its still not considered as within period of contest as a new design?
Its uploaded to printable as early as August 2023
Thoughts? @Tanklet
any mods can answer? @Tanklet
Welcome to MakerWorld!
Not sure if it was stolen or the original designer (I mean it’s just a copy of the world cup trophy) but I remember printing this back in 2019 for my nephew.
probably just another good friend of maker world staff
Looks like MW dont want to answer this. Last tag @BrotherC @Tanklet @PineappleBun_BBL
I think MW is gonna let this go.
Yes it was a copied design. Been there years ago.
Hi,
Thanks for pointing this out. This model should not be eligible to be selected as one of the winners and we apologize for this mistake. Actions will be taken in the future to avoid this from happening again and this model will not be awarded.
dude chill out, it’s a weekend.
Also, here’s your answer.
Cool thank you to maintain fairness in MW.
This is a victory for our original designers!
Well, I’m convinced this user is a very good friend of maker world staff, check this out, clearly a remix but not uploaded as a remix and is currently featured: Flexi Mr. OctoBean by 3DPrintNovesia - MakerWorld
Also pretty sure he’s got his gift card for that World Cup trophy. So…
Looks like the majority of their stuff is just other people’s work uploaded as their own
Wow, the account with the #3 on trending (the Valentine rose with stem) just did a reupload so they could get into the Valentine contest. Did not even try to pass it off as a remix or anything of the like. SMH
