I don't mean to argue IS policies  but in this case this rules should apply to all members equally.
just a quick search on random brand names:
levis(not levi's) came with 15143 matches and so on...



There's no question that there are many existing images with "illegal" keywords. Whether before the policy crackdown, or overlooked, we cannot know. All they say when called into question is that there are 1.5 million images and it will take time to get through those that do not meet the new standards. We are asked to wiki those that we come across. I know it's frustrating (especially when some are apparently still slipping through-- OR the contributors are editing in the keywords as soon as they receive the approval notice) but I don't believe it is a sinister plot to advance some denim shooters at the expense of others. :)

I see your point there and agree with that

I didn't mean to point my finger at anyones work this is why I underlined that I choose the name randomly. no offence intended to anyone
I think here we encounter again one of  the most common issues in microstok world. keyword spamming. I wish keywording was done by the agencies rather than up-loaders but this doesn't seem to be feasible right now:(
some sites locks keyword editing options once the file  is approved but I don't find it as the best solution either. because sometimes you really need edit  your keywords  may be not necessarily adding new ones but at least for  correcting spelling  mistakes.

 i am never nervous about rejections on any site.  but the fact that i have my nerve system breakdowns is a huge inconsistency in reviewing policy on isp. i really stopped to look on what people upload. - unbelievable keyword  spamming or at least non-relevant keywording is being approved etc. etc.. - today i rated one (excellent) photo of one of my cn members. - i rated photo, - i looked only on the image, and  than,  when i already submited my comment -i saw keywords, and i got sick..
