This message I see, when I view liked by me models. And a feature, that I propose or I want to see from MakerWorld team - is at least to see, what I liked, but it’s not available anymore. I used “like” tool something like library and really want to see, what models I’ve missed and to find a new one or to model it by myself.
Would be appreciated for realizing.

I get not including photos since if creators remove models the photos aren’t Bambu’s to continue serving out. But the text model titles would give enough information to maybe find the models again.
Some models are still on MW even though they seem missing from our lists. One model I had disappear had been revised. Still here but not the same model I had “saved”.
The lesson may be grab ‘em while you can if a model interests you?

It’s not so important to download each model until it’s available and make second library on my laptop, but exist need to know what I liked, even if it’s not available anymore for download or print.
In other words, if I saw something - this history can’t be changed into empty thing, because it’s not true.
Globally I don’t care what MW will do with this. I’m happy, that not only me telling about this and I put my voice to memory, to potentially get better product with this feature.
Another reason to use decentralized technologies.

I joined the forum today specifically to propose a similar request.
Please provide us with the names of the models that were removed so we can locate suitable replacements.

I will agree that it’d be nice, but it’s also quite hard to do as it’d require a database restructure. When a model is deleted, they likely delete it from the database entirely, and then how would they know what the names are?
Possible to delete only models or delete photos and models but not name. Partially some models, I’m sure, deleted by Bambu team, that violate rules or something like that, so in that case, is not even users intent.
Everytime I see that message about models being hidden or removed it really bugs me. If they would only leave a thumbnail so that you knew what was removed and maybe see if something similar is available.

Er… you can’t have both. Data doesn’t work that way.
Yes, it would in theory be possible to delete just the model files and photos, but 1) some people might want to delete their models entirely (that’s what deletion is for, after all; I’m not a lawyer, but that also might break GDPR), and 2) that would, as I said, require a restructure of how their database is set up and queried, and likely don’t really care enough to do that.
I’m not sure that they use database structures. Modern format of data is JSON, that don’t require a straight structure. Blurred screenshot(or small thumbnail) with title could be enough for even “new” DB entrance for removed items.
Even such services like archieve.org saving history of modifications pages with time dates.
What? No??? MongoDB and other document-based stores exist, but most people use Postgres or SQLite, both of which are structured. Heck, even Mongo has some structure since they need to be able to know exactly what fields are on a model so they can display them on the page. And even disregarding that, it still wouldn’t be feasible to add this.
I do think that keeping a database of things removed from the database would potentially open Bambu up to liability or at the very least unpleasant scrutiny. For example, say someone removes a model under the “right to erasure”, party of GDPR. Having the name of that model persist would be a violation of this. Or if a models violates IP law or trademark in its name as well as content. That would have to go.
Thus Bambu would need a two-tier database; delete all but name, and delete everything. But even then, people would be concerned that bambu isn’t actually deleting everything if they can see other deleted models with persisting names. So there’s a confidence factor and optics.
All this for what? So a small segment of the community can find a replacement for a model they don’t even immediately notice is gone from their collection?
This is kinda like the flaw with Whatsapp and deleted messages, where it says “Message was deleted”. Sure, the body is gone but having that flag still causes issues. Better the way discord and slack do it, where the message is just gone.
A little bit illogical, as a whole juridical language.
Violation → Proof of violation.
Proof of violation → Remove with proof.
Violation never was, thanks to GDPR and DB peculiarity.
My proposition to link to original creator those material, with referral link with 0.5% reward (if modified), and something like redirect(mark about duplication), if not modified. So both should got benefits, even if Original creator not give rights for that. (Or standard license materials should have 0.5% equity for such modifications).
0.5% is just example. This amount could be discussed.
If user delete his own material as history. Its also not logical. History is history.
I don’t like not knowing what disappeared, but I solved the real issue for me. I simply download everything that looks interesting. Now it is HERE, not where someone else can delete it. Works…
Go find the guys who run reddit deleted-post bots and convince them to point that at makerworld for archival
