Community Guidelines
Makers is a place where people share things they made and print things other people made. These guidelines keep it worth everyone's time. They are part of the Terms of Service.
1. Publish your own work
- Upload designs you made, or work you are clearly allowed to publish under the license you pick. Any software is fine; Audja is not required.
- A remix is welcome when the original's license allows it. Mark it as a remix, link the original and name its creator. A remix is a real change, not a re-export.
- No copies or minor edits of other people's designs, no scans of commercial figures or products, no files taken from other sites or from paid collections.
- One design, one listing. Do not upload the same design several times or split one design into many listings to collect more downloads.
2. Show it honestly
- The cover picture is a real photo of your print. Not a render, not an AI image. Renders can go in as extra pictures when the description says so.
- No AI-generated or AI-altered pictures anywhere. The Audja team removes them, and the design stays hidden until a real photo replaces the cover. People print what they see; they deserve to see the real thing.
- Titles describe the design. No keyword lists, no "free" or "best" spam, no all-caps.
- Print photos you share as makes must be of prints you made yourself. Five photos per make, no stock images.
- Videos you link must be about the design.
3. Keep it safe and legal
- No functional firearms, firearm parts, suppressors, or other weapons that are illegal to make where you or we are.
- No sexual content involving minors, ever. No sexual content of real people without their consent.
- Adult content must be marked as adult when you publish; it stays out of the home page and out of search for people who did not opt in.
- No hateful symbols, harassment, threats, or content that targets people for who they are.
- No malware and no attempts to break the site.
4. Play fair with points and prizes
- Points come from other people: downloads, shared prints and boosts by signed-in accounts. Your own actions on your own designs never count.
- Do not create extra accounts, ask friends to farm downloads, trade boosts, or use scripts. We look at devices, IP addresses and download clusters every month before prizes are paid.
- Fake activity is voided. Repeated or organised fraud disqualifies the account from prizes and can close it.
- Tick Made with Audja only when Audja really was used in at least one step of the design. It earns more points; ticking it on a design Audja never touched voids those points and removes the mark.
- Do not put "download my design" begging, contests or paid promotions in comments on other people's designs.
5. Be decent in comments
- Ask about settings, share tips, say thanks, give honest feedback on the design. Criticise the work, not the person.
- No insults, slurs, doxxing or pile-ons. No advertising, no links to unrelated products, no scams.
- Makers can delete comments on their own designs.
6. What happens when rules are broken
Depending on how serious it is, we may: edit or hide a listing and ask you to fix it; remove the content; void points and disqualify a design or a whole account from that month's prizes; suspend the account; or close it and ban the person. Copyright removals follow the takedown process. We tell you what we did and why, and you can reply at support@audja.com.
7. Report something
Every design page has a Report link (copyright, adult content not flagged, spam, fake downloads, broken files). Rights holders can use the takedown request form. Thank you for helping keep Makers good.
