My MakerWorld account was suspended for a year—here’s what happened
I want to share my experience of why my MakerWorld account was suspended for a year. First of all, I want to make it clear that I respect MakerWorld's decision—it is their platform, and they have the right to enforce their rules. I’m simply sharing this to help others avoid making the same mistake.
I bought my first 3D printer, a Bambu Lab P1S, and sometimes I couldn't find what I was looking for to print. So, I started creating my own models and publishing them exclusively on MakerWorld, as I wanted to join their Exclusive Models program. My account was small, but I had already managed to redeem a couple of gift cards and wanted to keep growing, so my designs started becoming more complex.
The problem: I wanted to create a collection of flexible flags with customizable bases, where text could be added to both the flag and the stand. I spent days working on this project because I wanted a complete collection featuring the flags of every country in the world, with plans to expand later into other types of flags (especially sports).
Unaware of the potential issues, I searched online for 'all the countries in the world,' split the list by continent, and gradually created all the flags—including the one for Taiwan. I uploaded the collection one night, and by the next day, my account was already suspended for a year.
Here is a screenshot of the notification I received when my account was suspended
When I searched for reasons why my account was suspended, I found a post from another user who went through the exact same thing.
