Whats the point of the button? To remove crap designs, to clear spam/dead work, or to tell someone they need to work out the details a bit more before it's ready for posting on thingi?
Flag seems like it would require definition, so why not just come up with a obvious phrased button?

It's sometimes hard to say what's worthless, tho. Maybe someone is
making a placeholder for a project they're developing. Granted they
should express that and bring something to the table for others to
collaborate with them.
Maybe "Flag as incomplete/inappropriate" would be more proper, tho a
little wordy.

"flag as private" so that it isn't deleted, just not public. Maybe set it up so that if 5 people flag something as private, it goes private without thingiverse staff moderation. Then it would take a gang of people who hate you to take your things out of public view. yeah! That sounds workable. :-\ ok maybe not.

I am all for tons of things getting posted, as long as we also have better filtering, either tags or community ratings or both, so we can navigate the flood. A flood of things is a good thing!

Thingiverse is much more than a repository for designs that can be used for 3D printing. Some of my designs are for a 3D printer, which I have, but other designs are for the lasercutter or other tools.
I was able to upload a video of a recent iteration of a project, though there doesn't seem to be a playeron the system. It might be neat to embed videos.
This system is much larger than we 3D printing enthusiasts may realize. On Apr 8, 2012 8:50 PM, "Laird Popkin" <lai...@gmail.com> wrote:

On Flickr, there used to be a 'ban' on cg/screenshot images. There may even have been a requirement that pictures be legit photos. Now, there is no such ban, but rather a category that is visible when uploading.
Tags and their use will help. The good work will flow up in the viewcounts/download stats. The ability to subscribe to particular users is useful.

We technically have this with the tools section, which is largely ignored because there's not useful way to use it for filtering. Someone would just need to add a couple of other 3d printer types to the list, separate from the assumed reprap/makerbot-style printers.

It is ignored by readers because you can't filter on it, and ignored by posters because they don't know any better.
I guess what I didn't say the first time is that I want an easy way for _anyone_ to quickly label things with machine types...
People only tag when there is an incentive to. Imagine if Thingiverse only showed things by tags - like a tag cloud - people would tag to get visibility.

You mean like on youtube where people add all sorts of tags that are at best tangentally related to their video just to get views?

I suppose you could get really crazy and let people vote on the tags... You could end up with a rating, like, this thing is 60% good for cupcake, 80% good for replicator, etc...

If I tagged something as "requires support" I'd not necessarily want the owner notified.
If I wanted them notified, I'd tag it and then post a message suggesting small changes they could make that would remove the support requirement, and they'd be notified of the message posting.
