Last week I got several rejections from one site (I don't want to mention which one)
I'm sending message to support, saying that they’ve accepted several images of this type from me in the past and they are selling really-really well.
Also I've sent examples of similar images from other people ports.
Response was brutal. -
Basically: We reviewed your examples and decided to remove them from the site as well.
I've checked – examples from other people ports are also removed.
I've learned my lesson. Never ever again I'm going to appeal.
And I want to apologize to photographers whose images were removed because of this.
-
not much info there...lots of mystery though. Maybe you could elaborate on the "type" of images?
-
Was this due to a copyright issue? I can't think of any other issue that would generate such a response.

Not copyright.
Images are too sensual and our customers don't need them.
(I do have a lot of very sensual images,
however those were relatively mild – no genitals or nipples are visible)
-
Ah OK. I didn't think of that. I tend to forget there's a whole 'sensual' area in microstock.
-
They didn't realize they had sensual images on their site until you drew their attention to it with a support ticket? LOL.
-
lol, saw that coming...watch out for the dangerous boob crack! "its not what we are looking for"..
-
I think it would be nice to know which site was that. Just to know to which support not to write lol.
-
The feedback from some sites are basically just rude. They have the "I am God" syndrome over their sites and the contributors are basically at there mercy.... My new application to one of the "Low tier" sites was responded to by rejecting all of my uploads (150+) stating that they have a very high quality standard and that my images are basically of inferior quality.
The same images are listed on 7 sites, all higher on the list than them.
They can just as easy reject images/submissions by just saying that it does not suit their site's portfolio or whatever, rather than using their very subjective opinion to put peoples hard work down....

Yes StockFresh is quite tough, unlike StockXpert before. If they have the same reviewers, they must have put them all on Benzedrine. I was accepted very early and I had little rejections but I didn't like the reject reasons ("please upload better quality" when the images were on iStock). That's why they won't make it and that's why I deleted my port there.

I beg you pardon but with 3 sales on DT in 2 years and none on iStock, I would rather think it's me. :P

Do not know where you are getting your info from? Never said the site in question is StockFresh (it is actually not).
"I beg you pardon but with 3 sales on DT in 2 years and none on iStock, I would rather think it's me."
Another wrong presumption. I had a few pics on Dreamstime (5 or so) for 2 years and only started uploading in any quantities to any sites since late Nov. last year.
Point is still, 7 sites are wrong then and only 1 think they known what is quality (nothing to do with my sales)..... :P
