Title: Many rejections because of Title?
Post by: marcflo on October 01, 2018, 08:17
Hello

Has anybody experienced many rejections because of the title, in the last couple of months?

I'm doing the same type of titles, very descriptive and simple but I keep seeing rejections. I also spell check the text with a few tools just to be sure that is perfect.
Did anyone else experienced this  "problem"?

Thank you!

PS: are you form Bigstock support? or.....

Finally!
I have found the problem. Is from the bulk editing tool from Bigstock. I will write an email to Bigstock explaining the bug they have there.

You'll be wasting your time, they don't care about fixing bugs.

As to the bulk edit tool its not a bug if you select multiple images it makes the same changes to all the files thats why its a bulk editor.

I reported that bug back around February or so.  They just responded that they knew about the bug, and that I would have to edit a single image at a time until it was fixed.

No fix or indication of even working on it for 8 months so far.  I just flagged BB for "no more uploads until fixed" which I suspect, may be never...

Not true in this case...

Pick 10 images where you want the same category for each -- but nothing else should be edited.  Select them, change the categories to match, save. 

The editor has changed every other field to also match -- title, keywords, everything.

A good bulk editor will only change the items that you have changed, unless you indicate you want the others to match also.  That is the way Pone5 and other sites with bulk editors work.

As is, you must open, edit, save each image separately.  Given the very tiny sales of BB, it just ain't worth it.  I have stopped uploading until they fix this bug -- which may very well be never...

I wrote Bigstock 10 months ago about the issue. Then again 6 months ago. Then again two months ago.

First two times they just said "please don't use the bulk editor - Our team is fixing the issue now"

Third time they never responded! Guess they don't cares we deleted our portfolio and stopped uploading to them! If all do the same, maybe they will get more serious and fix the issue. As for now, everything uploaded and batch edited you might as well just delete! No customers will be able to find them as both keywords and titels ducplicate the first file!

Bravo Bigstock!

So they know about this bug and beside not fixing it they did not tell anybody about it. Cool! Thumbs up Bigstock!!!  :o

I will try to see how much it worth uploading and submitting this way and if it not a good ratio between time/effort of submitting and revenue I will drop Bigstock.

I know that they don't really care about the contributors demands but I did not expected that level of ignorance!
