WiKi . List of Banned / Copyright Words likely to get a published face Taken Down

Yes . It is a little like a Comedy Sketch . Enjoy .

When R###X comes out with their OY#S#R - DAYT#N# - NAV#GAT#R - P#RPET#AL UTC DAY/DATE model…yes UTC will be banned too. :upside_down_face:

I think this isn’t really about copyright on ā€œGMTā€ itself, but rather Facer’s own platform rules. They probably block it to avoid any issues with real watch brands and to stay on the safe side legally. Since it’s their platform, they’re free to decide what they allow or not, even if it seems stricter than the law. Maybe contacting Facer support about this might be the best way to get a clear answer.

I’ve been using UTC/GMT in my descriptions.

my design below has just been removed, after it was online for two years already. I just renamed and tried to update the publication. Then I received the infringement email:

Should I’ve named it ā€œFat & Slimā€ instead?!? What a comedy show…

I’m curious if and what the team responds to my appeal, I only got the automatic reply asking for my phone’s model and version etc. which is totally irrelevant…

[Edit]
I renamed it and apparently ā€œd!ckā€ is an infringement, although it is a regular german word in a german title. Another similar layout didn’t get rejected but also didn’t get published for unknown reasons, a.k.a. WFF problems. I’m 5% before leaving the whole platform. If only there was a way to rescue my designs…

Yes, has happened to me too!
I have become careful to be as generic as possible in the description. Also in upgrading an old watch face…

On the WFS form you get a refusal to post your message if you use the word Analogue in the text . It flags that you have used the word Anal . @s.w . Don’t give up . They are working on Bots that Can Teach the present Bots to get it all right . We know they will be successful because they have many more fingers to type with than we do . Maybe you can add Dick to the Wiki . Or I will do it .

I went numerical on my naming. I was doing like you but I was running out of names. I started using MAG and a four-digit watch number that just happens to being short form of Mr Antisocial Guy # 1,234.
