I updated my design this morning Kilroy KRK.64.
After that, my design was removed with the following message:
Dear Facer User:
We removed the watch face “Kilroy KRK.64” that you posted on Sunday, 19 July 2026 at 8:10:11 am +00:00 because our system flagged it as potentially infringing the Facer Terms of Service.
I’ve never had this happen with my designs before.
I have to say I’m very disappointed because I’ve put many hours of work into designing it.
Please help me?
It would help if you posted a link to the watchface here with inspection on.
This way you might get some help sooner…
Unfortunately, that’s not possible. My entire design has been deleted.
That’s strange they normally get sent back to draft. If its not there you need to submit a tcket to get the face back so you can edit it
You need to dispute the takedown with Facer. Most likely it is in what you named it or a layer name inside the face. I’ve had that happen before and they have reinstated the watchface.
@johnklein333 . Lesson Learned . DUPLICATE BEFORE YOU PUBLICATE .
Facer must have a Brand related to something in your Publication . May be the Kilroy Avatar attracted their Attention . ENJOY
No they wont put it back in drafts, you have to appeal to get it back.
You’re right - i was thinking about publication failure and not a take down
Thank you all for the tips and for helping me think this through.
Facer replied politely to my email and explained the problem.
My design is now back in Draft mode.
What was their excuse?
Possible infringement to trademarks or copyrights.
I’m no longer allowed to use the name Kilroy.
I’ll have to change my name as well.
Isn’t that the name of your profile and all of your watch faces? I’d be losing my s4!+ right now if I were you.
A quick google search yielded this.
Kilory is a trademark? Thought it was a fairly famous anonymous piece of graffiti.
Sh… looks like my Facer name “Tombot” is a trademark, but was registered after I joined Facer…
(they create robotic animals, check tombot.com)
I think I need to have a word with Facer what to do about it…
Until they come to facer for becoming one of the partner brands and eventually get accepted, you should be safe. Even though you were their partner with that name first, if you are not registered business entity, you could be at disadvantage.
