I just happened to notice that many of my images have their keywords locked. I'm assuming that they were reported for some reason but when you only use 10-15 keywords a image, it makes it pretty hard to spam. Take this one for instance:
http://www.dreamstime.com/three-grapes-image7997761. It's got the same set of keywords that it had when I originally uploaded it but its got the boilerplate "This image has been rightfully reported as having bad keywords and an editor approved the needed corrections. At this time you can add more keywords only through the key-mentoring system." next to the keywords.

Normally I wouldn't really care but given all the search engine tweaking going on there's no telling if it will impact placement or not.
Just wanted to know if anyone else is seeing this?

It might be because you included the keyword "isolated", but the image isn't isolated.

I never received a notice that I any of my keywords were flagged. The strange thing is, for the example I posted, non of the keywords were removed from the original set of keywords.
I don't know how much if it all it's affecting my sales though. April and May were my best two months in a long time, although this month is shaping up to be very bad.

I did submit a support request so we'll see what that gets me.

I'll let you know how the support request goes. I noticed something this morning, every one of my images that were online before 2/17 have been tagged for bad keywords. My guess is someone is trying to make a some quick change. I would have thought DT would have put in some safe guards for this type of thing.
