Just saw a 123RF partner - new one perhaps - and really don't like the watermark situation there.  Writing 123RF support if you agree drop them a line.  I would really like to get this fixed.

Unacceptable!

THAT is a watermark?!?

not acceptable - its also possible to send a comment directly to the partner site...

I just sent them an email. If they will not improve their watermark, I'll ask 123rf to delete my images from that partner site.

Is there any way to deactive images/portfolio on 123RF?

I addressed this issue directly with stockpodium, and received a pretty swift response:

Please excuse us for the inconvenience caused.

We actually start reselling images from 123RF in a few weeks and pretty soon we will have our watermark on the images (according to 123RF resale terms).

To handle the situation right now we just started using the watermarks of 123RF again. Please confrim that everything looks OK now at your side as well.

Thanks for the valuable and timely feedback and hope you will get lots of downloads/money thanks to our service.

It seems they have, already, placed a 123rf watermark over the images. A positive experience!

Thank you so much Corepics.  All looks fine now.  Thanks too to Stockpodium, if they're looking in...

I also wrote them and got the same reply this morning. I appreciate their response and quick action.

Ah, I wondered why I was seeing watermarks and others weren't...  Fast response.  Nice to see this

Thank you very much for quick and successful action.

123RF port deleted, request to delete profile sent and meagre balance earnings forfeited. Bye, bye, 123RF.

Did 123rf delete the portfolio by request or did you have to do it manually?
I just reached a payout.   With seemingly decreasing commissions and arrogant attitude toward contributors, Might be best time to bail on this site.

My thoughts exactly, the low sales were just not worth the hassle.

You have to delete the images manually (I only had a few, so I did not mind). From 123RF:
