Title: Adobe stock Account Validation issue
Post by: gorma on June 08, 2021, 20:58
I usually log in and check my account every day, for years.

Started from 1 Jun, a "Validation issue" page block all pages in my contributor account, and I could not access anything.

The only button I could click is CONTACT US on the blocking page, and that's just an email form. Adobe did send me 1 mail that said "unusual events regarding your recent sales", with no details No more follow-up email afterward, even I have emailed them back several times.

I have also tried to post a HELP in adobe official community, but the admin just said it was not allowed to talk about this topic in public and locked the post......

My photos are all over many other stock agency with no problem for years, and I was very upset about this situation.

Anybody experienced similar issues here? Could you solve the problem eventually?

the 0.01% illustration were all drew by myself, too.

I'm in the same situation.  My account has been locked out for three months now, with no communication from Adobe after their "recent sales" reply.  Needless to say, I'm not at all happy with the situation or the way Adobe has decided (not) to handle it.

I haven't, not yet.  Right now I'd rather wait it out and hope for a resolution.  Pissing off large companies seldom goes well, in my experience.

But they should not block contributors with no detailed reason. Just an email saying nothing and ask us to wait, with no deadline. Just sucks

They shouldn't, and yet they can and they did.  I wonder how many others are in the same situation.

M2 :-)

For spamming, when I was debugging SFTP upload issues my script had after the switch. I fixed it eventually but after that, I got an email that the account has been blocked.

I use XPIKS to upload. Wondering if this is the reason?

I am using LFTP command-line tool and the new configuration is different so I had to change my script. Customer support was not familiar with this FTP client so I have to experiment to make it work. It seems like their FTP processing software cannot detect when the same file is uploaded again so I ended up with multiple copies of the same image. I send a message to customer support and got unlocked.
