It's not a banned brand though. So you can mention it, just not publish it as a MOC. Rebrickable wants it's users to be able to build every model with Lego only.

Hi @Auroralampinen! I'm happy to help! You have already found the right Help Page on non-Lego parts and the correct rule. But for your exact questions: Is it allowed? Yes, as it's an allowed non-Lego part. Can it be in the primary image? Yes, as it's an allowed non-Lego part. Can a "generic" term be used? Yes, my MOCs got approved with just stating any string. But at the end, it's at discretion of the admin approving your MOC. If it's not ok, they'll tell you what to do. You can also google for different string types to see what yours most likely is. Is no length ok? No, as stated, you need a length. Have you got no measuring device? Depending on the length, a more inexact measure is also ok. So for example, if you're 1.8m and the string goes up/down you 3 and ca. 1/2 times, saying ca. 6 to 6.5 metres is ok (again an admin might still reject it, but tell you what to do) How hard is it to get them approved? Shouldn't be that hard. There might be something which the admin doesn't find ok and then they'll tell you this. You just fix it, re-submit it and it should be approved. Kind regards, Luna

Ok, it's your decision, but the following point is wrong, which I just want to correct, in case someone else will read this. You don't need to make instructions on PDF format. The .io file is enough for any free MOC. And if you don't even have this, how would you even share it? So (as long as the model file is correct) Rebrickable has no additional hurdles for instructions.

So, I am a quite active member of Rebrickable, both the main site and the Forum. While I also don't like every single decision made by them, I think it's a very one-sided hate against RB here, with some, from what it seems like, just agreeing because they react emotional to the first message, without even having had real experiences before. On the Forum, there are quite active discussions about rules/features/etc. of Rebrickable, so if you're unhappy you can always go there. Just so it's clear, Rebrickable is in the LAN, the Lego Ambassador Network. So they might be pressured by Lego to do some things, they normally maybe wouldn't have done. But besides that, I want to respond to some critique points: You can just add any length hose and say it needs to be cut. But that's just the way Rebrickable's inventory works When you build a MOC using Rebrickable's build tool, it could very well be, that one of the following options can match, if the user has any hose instead of the specific one: If you're unsure, again, you can ask in the Forum. If it's not included in these options, you can suggest to add a new option or include it in these in the Forum. So there's nothing printed on this tape? Then it was a mistake on the admin's side. Although you would still need to state that in your description. If you have added this to your description, just re-submit it for approval. "Rebrickable is a site for fans of LEGO." It's their decision to make that, but then it's a design decision to not allow any 3rd party parts except the ones listed at https://rebrickable.com/help/non-lego-parts/ This is also not a rule I completely stand behind, but you need to accept their rules. So, that is, in my opinion, the online thing, where it's valid to be upset about. And again, Rebrickbale is a Lego Fan site in the LAN. If they just allow non-Lego parts, they would get kicked out of the LAN very fast. No, those rules have been added a bit longer ago, admins just can't physically check every MOC at once. Once they came across one of your MOCs, they checked all of your MOCs for possible violations. Exactly, your MOCs aren't ok with the rules anymore, so you are allowed to change them to be ok with them again. But it's also your decision to not do that and just leave them disabled. You're also missing out on Rebrickable's ability to market your MOCs. So, in the end, if you want to build with 3rd party parts except the allowed parts, yes, Rebrickable is just not for you. If you want to bui with Lego parts only and inventory your collection, etc., this is what Rebrickable is for.

1,000+ MOCs on Rebrickable that are all Alternates of a single Creator set. Rebrickable Search for all Alternate Builds in the theme "Creator" If you want to look at what Alternates have been uploaded for a specific set, you can also just search for it and then visit the respective tab to see all Alternates for it. And if you have multiple sets and are okay with mixing them, you can also add them all to your Set List and then run a build search with it. This really shouldn't be advertising for how great Rebrickable is, I just hope to bring joy to all the builders by sharing a platform for it.

Testing, whether any Markup language works: HTML: <b>Something</b> <a href=https://example.org/>An example</a> BBCode: [bold]Something] [b]Something[/b] [url=https://example.org/]Another Example[/url] Markdown: [And a third example](https://example.org/) *Bold or Italic, not really sure* _Italic in Fake Markdown_ **The other** Nothing? That's kinda disappointing.

Thank you @Berthil and @Kalais for these very kind and good reactions. I was already kind of afraid, that this will get more mixed reactions, due to the higher workload of transferring files.

Hello! Rebrickable, the largest MOC-sharing platform out there and one of the best LEGO® databases with nearly 2 million users, just very recently added the feature of directly uploading digital model files to any LEGO® set, so other users can easily find and download these. Personally, I think this is a great way to bring all model files together, organized neatly under different set entries, so I would like to encourage you to submit your models there too. If you have the time and willingness, you can even port over all your existing models, although I understand, that this might be some effort for people, who have 596 models built. Please note however, that you may just upload your own models, not the ones of other persons. In hopes to Rebrickable having a good database of models as well! Kind regards, Luna
