My Kar98k model is being blocked. GC team, please unblock this model, as it does not violate any community guidelines. The support button no longer opens a conversation and I am only able to email. Since I cannot trust that my email with go to anyone, I am posting here as well.
Yasin, if you see this and can do something about it, that would be greatly appreciated.
Hi. Can you share the link to the model so I can check?
(My guess is it's autoblocked by our system)

Any movement on this Yasin? I haven't received any communication from support at all.
I just replied your message. Hope it's resolved now.
Sometimes I'm not able to check my messages every day :)
my model has also been blocked for no apparent reason i have also been blocked from editting it please help
Unhid your model now.
I'd just like to share my experience the last few months of removing my blocked and unblocked content from this site for everyone to be aware of:
Before deleting all of my content, around 50% or more was block repeatedly by GrabCAD despite following all of the guidelines. Yasin (to his credit) would manually go and unblock my content, but it would happen again and again.
While my content was down, it was a greenlight for poachers to start uploading my content for profit on Cults3D and the like and I would be powerless to provide published proof of my ownership. It became a pain of trying to show meta-data, getting the poacher to provide files so I could overlay mine and prove exact geometrical data, etc...Now that my content has been gone for months on here, it's apparently open season.
Just be aware that if you are getting content blocked on GrabCAD, poachers are watching and waiting for an opportunity to reupload your work as their own to make a quick score from anyone willing to pay them.
If GrabCAD blocks your content, find another place to publish immediately so that you have proof of ownership.
Why not publish it yourself on cults?
I’ve done that myself for several models and then gave links to cults. While having the models on Grabcad provides some exposure, I only provide support on Cults.
Hello Yasin.
I have been trying for some time now to get someone to answer any of my emails about why some of my models have been blocked.
Can you help pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease.
Cheers.
