Reviewers are maybe from the same geographic regions 

In my opinion, a much better strategy would be to hold reviewers accountable. When other contributors report stuff like that, the best response isn't "we don't discuss other accounts", it's accepting that it was a mistake to let those images slide through, remove them, and interally look at which reviewer let those images get into the public facing database. Then educate the reviewer so they don't make the same mistake again.

If the same reviewer is later found responsible for other errors in the review process, and they were already educated, then it's time to let the reviewer go. They're causing harm to the company, to the contributors, and to the buyers.

But then again, I'm not the CEO of Adobe and I can only cosplay as one on a small internet forum. Too bad tho.

An excellent suggestion. Finding this stuff to prove a point, proved to be too easy to do. And contributers would probably do it for free for Adobe. Like Alex R used to hunt portfolio thieves for S. Again for free and it became ridiculously easy for him to do. SS response was like Matts - they banned him from the forum. Thieves portfolios sell and make money just like genuine contributers. If Adobe started actually searching and pulling large swathes of rule breaking imagery from their bloated servers - they might hurt the piggy bank and find things they'd rather leave. And I've no doubt their man power is pathetic. They should use A.I. to review their catalogues for duplicates but Matt has said its all human ....... 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣  ... ghasp for air .... 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣  .... oh boy sorry about that phewww.... anyway yeah if only they could do that instead of using A.I. to create pregnant women with a monkey paw and a hump on their back to get that "wow" factor.

There have to be thousands and thousands of reviewers in India looking at images within a few seconds.
