Why are designs being flagged/removed uneccesarily?

Someone explain to me how my design (pic1) infringes on Union Glasshutte (pic 2) copyrights or design elements. This is the 2nd time this design has been flagged/taken down for the same reason. I’ve published many designs using the same fonts and similar design elements in this face. However, it makes me not want to publish new designs because I’m concerned this will be a continued problem, and lead to my account being suspended. It’s a new problem in my experience and is extremely frustrating.

the issue isn’t the graphics or the design, the issue is a word used in the title, description, or tags. For some reason Facer will never disclose what the offending words are. There’s a thread here in the forums that has a list of many of the suspected trigger words. Ask them to restore to your drafts and when they do post your description and tags here in this thread and I bet we can identify the problem word.

I’m happy to report that I was able to publish the watch face. I removed the “cerberus” graphic and wording from the face itself, simplified the name and added a completely new (and simplified) description, which worked. I didn’t have to change any description tags at all. Thanks for the reply; I was assuming it was with the design elements. I’ll pay closer attention to my titles, tags and description. I’ll look for that thread you mentioned to hopefully avoid that in the future. Thanks again. Cheers!

The more “generic” you can make any words inside your watchface and also in the published description the safer you are from being flagged by Facer. You do want to find @russellcresser’s list of words not to use. It will surprise you on how benign some of the words actually are.

@totallycaleb . Are you saying the word “cerberus” got your work taken down . You or I can ad it to the list . If there are others it would be good to know .

I assume so. I have a loose naming convention which didn’t previously present any issues. so removing the term “cerberus” would be the only thing I could think of that would’ve resulted in a takedown. Can you add it to the list?

Yeah already done . It is possible you could edit that or any other Wiki . I think you only have to have posted something that got some response to get level one which means you can edit one .
