Title: Totally Random Rejections
Post by: jsfoto on March 26, 2011, 04:26
As we all know it is just part of the business to get random rejections and I can live with that. But in the last view weeks it happend that often for me on panthermedia that I start to ask myself what the reason might be. I get many files rejected on panthermedia which are accepted at the most picky agency. Or even better: My topseller on my topselling agency was rejected in its colored version on panthermedia but they accepted the monochrome version adding an "Redaktioneller Tip". I really had to laugh about that.

So there are some possible explanations for me:

1. There is a bug in the new interface which shows accepted files as rejected
2. The inspection team isn't the best
3. I'm on a black list, because of some critical comments on panthermedias forum and their support

Really wonder what it is.

(slightly) better submission method --> more pictures to review --> more random rejections
OR
(slightly) better submission method --> more choice --> stricter criteria

choose whichever you prefer

@jsfoto: I totally agree with you. I hadn't uploaded to PM for quite a while and with the new structure I uploaded some of my best new images which are doing well everywhere. Apart from 5 (!) they were alle rejected. I don't know why because they didn't tell. I have a few more which have been uploaded but still to be submitted. I try those and when the result is the same, I will not upload there anymore. To much hassle for too few euros...

Same here,

Thought to give them a try with about 30 good selling pics of various subjects. After weeks of waiting 83% rejected. Totally random it seems to me and no rejection reason given. If there is no logic it's better to stay away so I will remove the approved onces and forget about them.
