Not sure is it a bug or some new rule on Makerworld, but if so, I just couldn’t find it anywhere. Long story short, I have a quite fresh model, released on 22.10.2025. Published with no problem. Then I got advice to make version with different fittings. So, it was done yesterday. Added Profile, STLs, added update with description. And my surprise, it got moved to FAILED section with message in topic right away.
Ok, sht happens. I did check all the text, recheck all the files. Couldn’t find anything. Then I did start to edit all added content by sections. Including files up to removing all of it. Still failed. Still Your content may include sensitive information and can’t be published.
Spent several hours trying to find out what can cause this. Had to remove original content (verified before) by sections, until I eventually found out.
SHOCK! Issue triggered this was two animated GIFs (each around 5mb) of model rotating on turntable in the original model’s description. Changing filenames give no result.
So had to remove them and replace with static images and this worked.
So, question is: Did I missed something and no more animated GIF in description can be used? Or maybe some other new rule here?
And other thing I would be happy to see is (if it is possible of course) to HIGHLIGHT a reason of Rejection (Verification FAILURE) if it happens. As Sometimes complex models have to have a large description and it is very hard and time consuming to find out where it is.
