Seemingly overnight, my rejection rate at PM skyrocketed, and now when I click on the upload/ftp link, it takes me to a page in German, which prevents my processing material that I upload via FTP.  Plus, it now takes weeks to get images inspected.  Anybody else having the same experience?

ahaha I had 500 uploads almost with that hard submission with ticks and boxs and whatever! now have 168! LOL

make it 2

My images are back, but acceptance rate is still 0.

But...  if I upload series of images that reviewer for some reason doesn't like and rejects it completely and then it takes another xx weeks (soon will be months) until another approving process - acceptance rate is calculated from last three months so.... 0% for few weeks is theoretically not impossible.


Edit: acceptance rate is now ok

Mine are back again, too - maybe they just tested if we'd notice 

"PM ist beschissen" / "PM ist Scheiße" / "PM kotzt mich an"...

There are certainly a lot more variations...

I think those three are sufficient to describe them...thanks for the translation Dirkr

Hi everybody,

I have to admit that I am not used to this kind of language and harsh criticism in english speaking forums?! Criticism is good, but it should follow a certain language, namely rated "U" (suitable for all) than "PG" (parental guidance).

Regarding your problems, would you please be so kind and tell me if the problems still exists and what your usernames are to double check? For bug fixing, this is necessary information to locate the bug. If everything is working now, please also let me know. When introducing a new system in beta status, these kind of bugs sometimes happen for non Fortune 500 companies. It is not very pleasant though, but we are working on delivering a good service.

The review times are getting better, since we employed and trained new staff. We did not anticipate that the upload rate went up 7 times. We calculated with 2-3 times. We are glad though that our new system enabled this upload rate! Thanks very much for uploading!

Best regards,

Robert

Hi fotografer,

that is great to hear. Our current review times are about 2 to max. 3 weeks, steadily decreasing. Our goal is to review images in less than 5 working days.

Best regards,

Robert

Hi fotografer,

they can stay there. But if you have already keyworded them via IPTC, it only takes some minutes to forward them to the editors. It is your choice however. We are looking forward to getting your images.

Best,

Robert

The review process seems to be quite arbitrary on many sites including here at PM. I find that different photos are rejected or accepted from site to site all the time. Some of my best sellers at one site are rejected at others for quite bizarre reasons. Seems to depend on whether the reviewer is having a bad day or not. For PM to limit the upload rate according to some stupid approval rating from the last submission is just a silly idea that wastes time and is very disrespectful of photographers trying to build a business for both themselves and PM!

Isn't that the truth! ;o)
