Hi,
usually the process is like this:
1: FTP Upload
2: Edit your images and sort them into editorial / commercial
3: Click on "publish"
Now i found hundreds of images online wich i have
not published yet!!
I just uploaded them via FTP - thats all!
If you upload editorials they seem to go online directly and as commercials - and this might cause a lot of legal trouble.

BTW: Yesterday the Website was down because of "maintenance"
EDIT
We wrote a mail to Mostphotos where we told them that they publish without waiting that the images are tagged and that we have send a supportrequest regarding that issue yesterday
Supporter Hanna wrote back that the tech-teem got informed and that they did not get the supportrequest we sended the day before.
We wrote back:
Hi Hanna,
then you found a second severe bug - your contact-form is obviously not working because this was the way we sended our support-request.
Please note that we will not take any responsabilty for eventual upcoming lawsuits if you publish files before we even could make appropriate settings to the files (editorial / commercial).
And now second supporter wrote:
Regarding commercial and editorial images. It is the photographer's responsibility to ensure that the images are tagged correctly. If you as a photographer have editorial images, you can add and tag this in the Media Cloud in your settings. Regarding legal issues, it is the photographer who is responsible for their own photos, not the buyer or Mostphotos.
FYI: Our tech-team is working on a esier solution for editorial and commercial images. So that it will be easier to tag them right.

Hi,
yes, this is true.
But if YOU publish images BEFORE we can make the settings its obvious your responibilty.
Like said before:
You publish files directly after we upload by FTP and this is not like it is supposed to be.
I am speechless.
