Title: Refused Refused Refused
Post by: weyo on February 29, 2016, 10:48
OMG what is this troll on the Dreamstime?! More than 100 photos with flags rejected me.
Only on Dreamstime have a problem with that. On the other agencies 100% approved. Where is the problem then?  >:( >:( >:(

They have a very weird review policy. They will accept only one of a series of images even if they all have different uses. They seem to think if a buyer wants a Greek flag with euros on it a German flag will do just as well. I've given up trying to work it out and just get on with creating more images. Their site their rules.

They rarely approve any of my stuff, for bizarro reasons, best-selling vectors which could make them bank, but they refuse. I don't have any use for idiocy like this.

Don't get me started on vectors. They refuse my best selling ones all the time!

DT has the worst reviewing policy of any stock agency. They don't get my work anymore.

They've been falling a lot lately. They used to be top tier, but by next month they could fall below 123RF.

DT seems to have a hard time understanding the commercial value of certain images.

Indeed. My port is between 40-50% smaller than at most other agencies mostly due to their similars policy. My sales are declining. The two correlate.

Rejection reason "Please submit multiple images from this series in a single file. Multiple similar objects (different brands of a similar product) should be included in a single image." ???

What?!?! It was a single product shot submitted as editorial then I get this rejection

I just lost the will to submit anymore stuff to this outfit.

Their re-submit system doesn't work either ~ these agencies are just coasting along on miminal effort
