Title: Rejection reasons by Cutcaster-
Post by: Goofy on March 25, 2014, 10:45
Just got this in my email-

When Cutcaster accepts or rejects images, we are making those decisions based on the quality of the images, lack of possible legal issues and what we know our customers will buy. Some of the most common reasons we reject an image are digital noise, visual artifacts, over processing, inappropriate content, poor lighting, and lack of model releases.

If your images have been rejected, the best place to look for answers is our FAQ section covering requirements for uploading images. It's a good idea to use that FAQ as a checklist when you are preparing your images for upload.

We request that you please do not re-upload images that have previously been rejected. Accounts that have a 50% or less acceptance ratio (unless you are new and learning) will be put on hold.

If you have any questions not answered by the FAQ, please contact us. We want to help you to succeed. By helping you to submit the best images possible, it helps us to build our database and allows us to offer more high quality content to our customers.

I got this as well.
Unfortunately it does not matter what the accept or reject, as they don't seem to sell anything.
Stopped uploading to them a while ago...

I almost forgot the CC.. I asked to close my account, it's so quiet. It's closed but they don't payout earnings under $25. I have there 92c.. so they are the thief :)

It's not original but it's true. I rejected Cutcaster.

I still wonder how some of these irrelevant agencies stay in business. Oh wait, I get it. 80% of what people earn is skimmed off the top. Protection rackets and usury loans, take less than that!

Are people that desperate that they will work for nearly nothing and grovel for spare change tossed onto the curb?

Yep that's one of the problems with this business model, it lets basically useless sites linger around forever. They take some of your time and energy with some stick & carrot thing, than you just ignore and forget them... and all that wouldn't be a much of a problem, but the next thing you hear is that they suddenly come up with the idea of giving away your stuff almost free.
