Is there an option to upload to gallery but make it private?
Is there an option to upload to gallery but make it private? So, this way only certain people (like friends) can download the shared lots?

I actually would really love this too. At least option to block on the Gallery would be nice for moderation for repeat offenders.
Yeah only reason I upload to gallery is to get a save up that isn't dependent on my own file system on PC. If someone downloads the house or whatever it's fine but I'm really just using the gallery as a cloud save for my buildings.
So I'd love this as well.

What are people doing to you on the gallery that needs to be blocked? I haven't played game for long and haven't seen anything weird going on, so what kinds of things are going on there?
There are some out there who will download stuff, recreate it, then steal credit (as one example).
The original creator name is only "stuck" on there if they use the original download. However, they could easily start a "fresh" plot and then the original creator name is no longer applied.

Still not understanding how they are bypassing the system.
In my game when I download someone's house plot creation, drop it on a fresh plot then start decorating it the creator name stays on the house no matter how many times I save it. Even when I've changed it extensively the original creator name stays on the house plot.
And I would have expected the same of anything I made.
So what exactly are they doing to bypass the system, and shouldn't this be patched out?
They download the lot which has the original creator name on.
They start a new lot which hasn't had the download anywhere near it with the original creator name on it.
They rebuild and reupload.
There may be other ways but that is one, and how can that be patched out? It can't without it realising it's exactly the same, and even then you could change something miniscule about it to get round it.

I still don't see how this gets around it? Shouldn't plonking the lot down keep the creator name, no matter how much stuff they adjust?
- @khitteh You seem to be misunderstanding - what @Coley666 is saying is: they don't adjust the lot that they "plonked" down but rather use it as a floor plan/guide for what they build on a separate lot. They then upload the "new" build which would not have the original creators name because it is just a copy that seems like a whole new build.
