Is it allowed to upload CAD models from third-party websites to GrabCAD?

Time and time you see models on GrabCAD that originate from other web sites. Some of them are found on the 'Popular this month'-section and thus 'promoted' by GrabCAD, even though they contain links to another site from where they have been downloaded.
But, according to the Community Guidelines, it is illegal to upload models that are not your own work, at least without changing them. So, could someone from GrabCAD please clarify if the rules have changed, or if they are not being enforced, and if so, what are the reason for this?

Hi. According to the Community guidelines, users should share their own models, but if they share anything belonging to someone else, they should give attribution.

Could you please send me some of these models you mentioned, so I can have a look?

GC guidelines and rules are quite clear about posting work from others...
