Title: That Shutterstock poll - what did you think?
Post by: fintastique on November 02, 2008, 08:33: I am referring to the poll that was sent by e-mail from SS with the chance to win a graphics tablet. ;D

I saw from another thread quite a few contributors wanted a crack down on contributors spamdexing their images.

I suggested more comprehensive stats well at least being able to click on an image and find out how many DLs and DL/month.

What other things did you suggest/moan about?

I see they were floating the idea of a keywording service like DT have.

Post by: stormchaser on November 02, 2008, 12:54: Yes, as I noted in another thread, spam is a big issue.

Also said, I like the simplicity - no stupid fan clubs, faving, creative networks, lightboxes, etc. Views don't matter to me. And also stated I wanted DL numbers kept private because it only promotes copying.

As far as not getting the survey, maybe they will do another mailing wave. I am over $500 there. Perhaps they used that as a criteria in the mailing.

Post by: tdoes on November 03, 2008, 11:45: I got one and mentioned that I would like images (especially vectors) to be indexed based on their approval date and not the submittion date to keep images from being buried too deeply!

Post by: riffmax on November 06, 2008, 11:42: I got one - I asked for new images to show up sooner. I just had a batch of Christmas stuff approved recently (I know, I know - lots of Christmas stuff going in now, so that's part of the problem) and by the time they showed up, they were already on the fourth page of "newest".

Post by: shutterdrop on November 07, 2008, 08:15: For a short time I was receiving almost 100 % approval of images. Now I receive every excuse and reason for reject.

I think if you have complain on their board you receive a survey. SS is slipping and losing ground.
