Why can’t Sketchup 3D Warehouse have an “ignore” button so we don’t see these spam accounts ?
Back again Monday morning and PAGE after PAGE after PAGE after PAGE after
PAGE of the same models OVER and OVER on the DAILY’
It’s terrible to have this happening and wasting time going through all these models ever time going into into 3D Warehouse. Can’t be that difficult to have an “ignore” button to not see these spam accounts !
I don’t really understand what the problem is. I don’t see anything like what you describe when I go into the warehouse. Although as I said I don’t understand what you’re trying to say, even if you repeat many words, many times.
Could you explain what you’re doing point by point? What do you get? And what do you expect? Where are you going to put the ignore button? Which account you want to ignore, and why? Is that your account or related to someone else?
Also, could you show some models that you’ve uploaded to 3DWH and aren’t spam?
Are you actually looking for a real model, or are you just browsing and can’t use the search function?
I like to browse the models by “modified” what includes new models
and when you do this’ you will get like 20 pages of models that they upload on the daily’ and they always the same models’
so to see a new models after there “bulk uploaded” they do DAILY, you need to go through 20 pages of models’ just to see regular people uploading a models’
I have uploaded sample prior not spending more time on this’ can look in posts I did post prior/last week.
It’s simple have an “ignore” button like the rest of the internet’ just like they have here on forums’
The explanation given by others is not enough for you, just because you are angry, you keep shouting and repeating that someone else is posting the same thing.
So you are doing exactly what you don’t want others to do.
Good luck with that.
I have seen this same thing - I too like to browse thru the newest uploads, but finally gave up because of this very issue - it’s just no longer any fun between the trash and mass uploads with nothing but a Trimble logo. Strangely, the issue seems more prevalent on the “Models” side of the Warehouse. The two members I see the problem from the very most upload to both sides of the Warehouse.
There are times when I work on a model for weeks, maybe sometime a few months. I go to upload my model and if I do it at the wrong time, it’s scrolled into oblivion because of these two - which, btw, they often seem to upload about the same time.
let me assure you that nobody is attacking you or saying that the spam on 3d warehouse is not annoying, the ignore filter is valid feature request.
but arguing back and forth won’t solve it. I’ve made my share of mistakes here on the forum too & learned the hard way that doubling down only makes things worse.
you’re clearly an experienced user, so let’s just leave the request for the trimble team to review.
no offense at all. let’s just cool down and leave it there.
Thank you for the feedback.
I was recently told to “chill” and referred to as a “troll" and that’s just top of my head.
I understand this forum is intended for constructive discussion, product feedback, and reported issues. That is exactly what I posted: a genuine issue I encountered. I also noted that a few others appear to have experienced the same problem. Being dismissed or spoken to that way does not inspire confidence in the product or the support culture around it. If I were reporting a software defect, I would hope it would be treated as a technical matter rather than met with name-calling or borderline harassment. I have advocated for SketchUp for many years. I am in the MEP field, that has not always been a straightforward process, and I have continued to support the platform despite those challenges. My intent here was to raise a legitimate concern, not to create disruption. I would appreciate the issue being reviewed on its merits.
And thank you again for your input’
I had created a post about this issue two years ago after becoming irritated with having to always wade thru all those failed uploads, but ultimately never brought here to the SU Community. I had been experiencing the issue at least six months prior to the post I had typed up. I stopped trying to browse for new/modified uploads about a year and a half ago.
It’s a real issue, it compromises and clogs the Warehouse unnecessarily, it would be great to have it addressed somehow. It’s hard to imagine what the possible advantage is to the poster to flood the warehouse with copy’s of the same model? Or even the advantage of posting a single model as the content is available to all users. The warehouse has always been a bit of the Wild West, with bloated senior thesis architecture models living next to middle school juvenile drivel, it’s the nature of a public system, and it has always taken some searching and filtering to separate the wheat from the chaff, but the systematic flooding is a different problem that feels like it could be addressed with some slight modification to the upload parameters.
I found some time back, that these uploads aren’t quite the same, though for all intents and purposes, they might as well be. For example, take a particular style of chair that is presented in all of it’s variations. If that chair is available with 5 materials, each material available in 5 colours, and the legs in 3 different kinds of wood and each wood available with 2 different stains, then that one model of chair will be uploaded 150 times, each chair presented in the different material and colour combinations.
After the demise of the community models row on the 3DWH homepage from years ago, perhaps there just aren’t as many people looking for new uploads, or maybe not a lot of people have figured out how to do so today, and perhaps explains why so few people know about this. But whether anyone knew or not, as @endlessfix indicated, “it compromises and clogs the Warehouse unnecessarily.” Seems someone would be interested in that.
a good start would be the remove the “bulk upload” to 3D Warehouse, so they can’t keep uploading 400+ models everyday’ and to confirm theses accounts still doing every day’
To confirm, this is not limited to the ArchiUp account and may also include the KLER account. It appears they still have not contacted SketchUp regarding this issue as it continues on. With yet another batch of 400+ uploads cluttering the site.
Maybe remove the “bulk upload” as can’t see normal accounts needing this.
I have a feeling you’re uploading that content yourself just so you can bash/rant 3DWH. You are stomping your feet here like a kindergarten child, thinking that everything is instantly available to you. Believe me, everyone understand what you want at once. Repeating yourself like a ridiculous parrot makes yourself like just left the "yellow house ".
