I was going to sign up with SS and after reading every word of all the above postings .... Well folks they will not have any of my images to mess with. They also will not have me on their site!
When your treated like crap with no answers etc .... they can cram it. And that applies to any site.
Now I will read about some other sites.

I wouldn't discount SS over this or any of their other little quirks. I don't think there's a single micro site that has it completely together when it comes to the treatment of contributors. SS is one of the better ones actually. Dreamstime would probably be the next in line.
Point is they all have issues that you have to deal with if you want to sell microstock. As the industry evolves hopefully contributor treatment will improve.
I couldn't disagree more, SS are the worst site for contributor relations.
If you are lucky enough never to have issues with your work being stolen etc. you may not realize how little they care about individual contributors or their intellectual property.
They are also one of two biggest earning sites, so if you want to make a decent living in this game you have to put up with being treated like dirt by SS, or go exclusive with IS and take the financial hit.
It sucks, but there it is.
