Please provide us a "Creator Block" feature for fab.

There is so much scam assets as well as an inhuman amount of AI generated assets (which doesn’t have the CreatedWithAI tag) being sold in the store by many creators.

It can be very helpful for everyone to have the option to completely remove specific creators from their personal Fab search.

It’s a deeply concerning and growing problem, and I know the Fab team will have a hard time squashing such cases because of manpower and lack of a barrier to entry. It’s going to be super helpful for everyone to get a block feature to somewhat mitigate this problem to an extent.

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll add this to our feature request tracker.

Can you please share some examples of “scam assets” and AI generated assets that are not tagged correctly?

Thank you @PadreZippo

An example being sellers like these. For disclaimer, I do not know how to prove these seller are selling AI generated music, but the sheer frequency and volume of assets being uploaded everyday points to it being someone gaming the market using AI generated assets without explicitly stating it as being AI generated.

Not just that, both accounts might be from the same person selling the same things. Even the thumbnails are the exact same, only thing different being the prices. Examples being -

Not hard to find if you browse for a few minutes. I’d also love the ability to block certain sellers. Favorite others. And have saved filters.

I’d also like to show support for the ability to blacklist/filter out certain creators. AI slop is definitely an issue, but there’s also some very low-effort amaturish assets that I’ve come across as well.

I think a good solution would be a maximum of 4 products released a week from a single seller. I say 4 so people who make lite and pro versions can do 2 products a week if they want.

I also would like to see this feature. There are a few creators that are flooding the market with clearly ripped assets. If Epic will not moderate this storefront, I want to have the ability to at least do it myself. Here is an example of a user that is ripping assets: Fab

Here’s a seller with over 1000 assets, obviously AI-generated garbage but lacking the AI tag: https://www.fab.com/sellers/Linder%20Germain

Finally, we can block a specific creator in the search. I tried to do it like for a web search: you put the minus sign before the name.
Right now, Linder Germain is invading the site, so in the search I typed -Linder Germain and it disappears from the search list for 3D.
Enjoy Ü

I would like to add that this seller deliberately forgets to mention that an AI did the job for 1.4k items. 1.4k false declarations and this seller is still there, he has produced 20k items in total. in a few months…
