Deleting Soft Rejected Images

(1/2) > >>

Sion:
A suggestion.

Is there a way to have multiple delete boxes in "Hidden" without having to open each Soft Rejected file and delete it and go back to "Hidden" to delete another file again?

This is a good question.  I don't believe this is an option at the moment but I will suggest it as a feature as I can definitely see the value.  Great suggestion!

Jo Ann Snover:
I'd love a feature that just let you have the files automatically deleted after a week or two. Optional of course. I am not going to make changes to files except in the rarest of cases - and all the current soft rejections I'm just deleting. So I just want the files to go away like hard rejections do without any action on my part.

The reality of life as a new site is that when you say in a soft rejection that, for example,  you want a series of four season views split up into individual images, that just isn't going to happen. Obviously each site has its own set of criteria, but the further you stray from the typical requirements, the less likely you are to get contributors making modifications.

In another case you soft rejected an isolated holiday garland shot straight down but on a diagonal suggesting it should be straightened like a crooked horizon (but somehow the others in that series, all shot the same way, were approved). All the shots should have been approved or rejected as there were only different colored baubles.

I guess the second suggestion here is that you need some sort of spot check on the reviewers as the current situation is highly inconsistent - all sites have a little of that, but yours seems to be more so than usual.  I'd expect that there be an audit of the review process to make sure it's working consistently. In the future, some sort of formal appeal (rather than contributors asking in the forums) might also make sense.

Deleting soft rejections is a slow and tedious process at this stage. I don't think I have the time to go through them. They are just piling up.

Let's have all rejections be hard one.

cascoly:
another problem with soft rejects is that if we do re-submit, there's no response to any comments to the reviewer - they just end up as another soft reject with the same rejection reason -- as others have mentioned, some soft rejects ask that groups of 3 or 4 images be broken up into single images, but this isnt always practical
