Title: 123rf culling images
Post by: corepics on October 26, 2009, 15:17

FYI, I just noticed 123rf is starting to cull images for various reasons (mostly "possible copyright issues"). They do not send out notifications. However, culled images appear on the history --> Rejected page (http://submit.123rf.com/submit/myuploaded.php?displayshow=r (http://submit.123rf.com/submit/myuploaded.php?displayshow=r))

I noticed, because a buyer sent me a site mail, asking where the image had gone he selected...

Oh, well, it's all for our own protection - but a email informing us of their decision would've been nice.

Must be a slow time for their attorneys.... :D

Perhaps this why it takes 3-15 minutes for pages to load?  If I was a buyer I would be very frustrated these days....

Recently they have rejected several of my shots stating that a property release was required.
They used to accept similar images in the past with no problem, so I thought it was a glitch or the wrong button pushed, but apparently not.
Very well, I guess the buyers will have to go to DT, IS or SS...

Interesting.  Seems that the other sites are following Istock/Getty's lead on this.

Hmm __ agreed. Judging by the rapidity with which this is spreading suggests strongly to me that the interest might be customer-enquiry driven.

In my last batch, I had 4 images rejected for lack of PR that were (recently) accepted on IS.

Seems like they are ahead of Istock/Getty!  ;D

Aparently, the decision to remove images with graffiti was broadcasted yesterday, via twitter:
