Today I have had a model removed due to it been a duplicate and now my points is -25 due to been “fined” for it.
If I had uploaded the model twice on purpose I understand 100%… but the thing is, I wanted to enter a model into the Halloween contest, I followed the steps Makerworld said by pressing choose model, but it would NEVER let me select a model that I have already uploaded so it asked me to upload a model to the contest which I did not thinking it would go to my uploads (I actually never checked).
Contest is over and its been removed as a dupe, fine.
What I can’t understand is, why did Makerworld themselves make me re upload the model to enter the comp if they knew it was going to create a dupe, seems like it’s a method to remove peoples points which in long run stops them having to payout. There was no way I was deleting the already uploaded model as it had likes/downloads/prints to start all over.
Makerworld, allow people to enter competitions using an already uploaded model, once it has been entered the model in the comp, the likes etc are removed for the comp and start fresh, but the original model upload isn’t affected nor do the likes etc count to the comp and vice versa.
I haven’t uploaded many models, but this has made me want to remove them all and not bother uploading anymore.
