Hi all,

Too bad it happens to me that my shutterstock account is suspended, this is due to the reasons of i had resubmitted the rejected images, and had been receiving warnings (2 warnings last years).

the email was asking me to reply to explain the situations and my shutterstock and bigstock had been disabled after i received the email.

It is my fault but I had tried to email them for the explanations and hope my account will not be closed. However, i didn't able to get any response and my portfolio now is gone..

I wonder what i can do to get back my account? I hope it is only under suspend and will resume it at some time, but so far i failed to get any notice or reply from shutterstock.

anyone can help me?

Ditto!

which images did you resubmit? images recently rejected or images rejected months ago?? because there is a lot of people that wait some months and resubmit...

Resubmit ONLY with an explanation about corrections and no problem!

I received warning once because same reason and I stopped with that immediately...

I explained to them what is main reason for resubmitting, that was approved status on Bigstock for same images...

That rule was my first item on "Never Forget List of MicroStock".. moreover when SS is "trully" cleared about "re-submision rules".

Yes I'm afraid that I agree. If they hadn't suspended you then you would have just kept on doing it.  Saying that I hope that it is only a temporary ban to show you that they mean business and that you have learnt from it.

Just to remember...

OP could specificy "numbers" and "reasons"...

I think 99% of contributors with "mass rejections" do a "selective re-submision batch" with reasons given ( and some changes done ). Same 99% would stop re-submiting after first warning... something that OP haven't done.

I'm against some mass rejections, I re-submit... but most important: I don't flood submission cue 

Resubmitting after being warned more than once not to?  Yeah, that's not just bad, it's asking to be punished.  Which is exactly what happened to the OP.

Personally, I only resubmit when I can see a way to re-edit the rejected images to address the reason for rejection.  I don't resubmit the same edit in hope of getting a different reviewer.  I'll admit to having been tempted once or twice, but decided that my good relationship with Shutterstock is worth more than whatever income those few images might bring in.

Although I am usually very harsh with my criticism on agencies and account suspension, in this case they are right.
You had your warnings. Now you face the consequences.
What I do not like is that they increasingly seem to ignore support requests after removing their phone number from the contributor site.

I applaud the OP for coming in and fessing up. That being said, I agree with the others who have said groveling is your best option at his point, ask for one more chance and then NEVER do it again.

Same here. Mostly when people come here and complain, we don't seem to get the whole story. Sometimes, after asking many questions, the whole truth comes out. Sometimes not.

It took guts for mtkang to admit he was in the wrong, and I do side with him on the whole "unable to get ahold of shutterstock" thing. Shame on them for removing their phone number from the site and not answering emails. 

I've sneaked the odd one back through at times as have many of us here but there is no way that I would do it again after a warning and it is sheer stupidity to continue after 2 warnings.
