You only have to look at the number of lock downs this fool has done in the last 12 hours to see that he has completely lost control - some of these threads are completely innocent and look like they are meant with good intentions. Seriously, how can any business that proclaims to be customer focused employ a complete idiot like Lobo. It truly beggars believe.

I get the impression that most MG posters pretty much know what they're doing, technically.  So why do you guys even bother looking at the IS forum?   You won't get any useful insights into IStock's business.   You can't complain about, or question, anything.  So what's the point?

I guess they have to complain somewhere regardless, since they're not allowed or afraid to do so over there, they bring it over here, where we all know Lobo's BS history, and most of us (edit) couldn't care less...

Hey, do you mean they should take down the forum (lay off Lobo) and make the business more sustainable?  

Compared to what?

....take a look at the Bigstock forum - the crickets stopped chirping long ago and they are dead - looking like upside down cockroaches at the moment
....take a look at the DT forum where folks are more interested about 180 views and no sales...or rejections...or how they've had 5 files online and 2 sales in 6 months and it's a miracle.

Maybe I'm being cynical, but some of these forums are absolutely laughable.  At least in the Alamy forum folks actually talk about the business alongside the rants about rejections. 

This user has the power to wield the BanHammer, a weapon forged in the fires of hell for that get-off-my-planet quality you can't get anywhere else.

For the record, we have no record. However, I'm willing to establish 3 minutes as the current thread lock landspeed record.

“This guy makes the forum run smooth which is no easy matter and the personnel site-mails are helpful,courteous and friendly.Thank You. Regards Alistair”

out of here, looking for that old dildos threads and the person who made them

OP,Please stop this love affair with Istock....
You have stated that you will no longer buy content from the site.You can't post in the forum but still you read the forum..Why?
Just grow some balls and continue with your own work.Keep slinging mud achieves what exactly?
A man of your years should at least appear to be mature !

Is he? And getting? I think we are way past that

Good point and probably true; also as mentioned before, I hear Peebert was even worse.
You'd think they could train Lobo in helpfulness, and maybe a bit in iStock policy. After all, if they're paying him to be on the forums, he might as well be useful. If trained in iStock policies, he could earn his keep by filtering some queries away from Support. (though I suspect a lot of 'policies' are made up on the spot if a query arises). 'Uncle Rob' was very helpful, and would actually find out things for people.

Getting (& getting) appear to be a dead duck. Shank_Ali is definitely now called Pete pseudonym is Shank_Ali reborn 

No, he wasn't worse. Also, they were different times back then. Peebert was edgy, but funny. And he didn't belittle people's concerns like Lobo does. And as far as I know, Peebert did not send nasty childish sitemails to people and you never heard of people being banned en masse, like what Lobo does. Of course, there were far less concerns back then because everyone was in love with iStock. Ah, the good old days...
