I've been following this on the forums for a while now: every time some poor devil posts something critical or less than flattery, they immediately get pounded, patronized, their portfolios reviewed (negatively), etc etc by a whole bunch of 'loyalists' who are much harsher and less flexible than even the actual site admins???

Is this some misguided pride or exclusivity or some other pathological psychology?

put it down to the nature of the beast. Unfortunately a lot of these photogs are ill-educated, self-employed egomaniacs and they exist on eveyr forum. None of these numb nuts would get a team job never mind function in one hence their inability to handle any type o' criticizm. That said there are some really good guys on here too but very much in the minority fraid to say.

I also note there's a site in there that I hadn't heard about and very slick one it is too. Guess who they might b?

anyone try ftp uploading today?

I thought i would try pantermedia out, but am getting an error after I edit the image info.

I also think it is ridiculous to have that 30% commision for images in other microstock sites

And since PM offers a license for UNLIMITED uses, whereas most other sites limit the use to 10,000 or so in print - they would be fored to buy the extended license on regular microstock sites making the cost MORE on other sites than on PM... hmmmmm

Anyone actually tried selling anything there first???

I've got some TIT wh o consistently comments on my stuff. I'm pissed!!

Go find a better English translator and pay attention to the warning letters. They send those before they blok ur account.

Don't forget Michael Dell started with $700 working out of his front bedroom.

They do nothing for me.  There are some great stock photographers.  This is more my taste.

That of course is why u are a stockphotografer and make only cents fro ur art.

Go for it Seren. Already done it and made money at it but it's furry hard work.

100% on SS, 68% on IS and haven't got around to the others yet but interesting study al the same

Last time I sa w a site this quick was whe n the www began bcak in the 80's. what a total waste of time zym is

Oh dear, if ever there was a prime exmaple of crash and burn PR this is it. CanStockPhoto really seem to be pissing int the wind with this latest offering and it all seems litke too little too late.

Shipping took a month and game system didn't work. Would avoid!

Over 25 Negs left and then that comment left above for a buyer rally is quite incredbil.

I think you'll find the same policy applies here too fro what i've seen. seemsnone of these forums allow critizim and the post on zymmetrikal was delted also.

It's not really difficult to get in, it's just a pain in the butt putting together the application. Getty in particular you'd need to go to nigth classes just to get past their meta word requirement.

Despite the title of this thread, it's looking like this site appears NOT to deliver.
It appears to me Zymmetrical has already become a victim of its own hype and from the amount of bugs encountered so far and other sloppy typos on the site the omens are not good.

Would it not make sense to 5 user test this site or even put it in beta before going live??? This is very basic stuff we're talking about here! 

Zymmetricald, I'd lose those rotating images on the front page. It could be just my monitor but they're not smooth and I'm seeing jagged edges as they spin.

Nice one. Miz what do you use to record those tutes? Macromedia or something similar?

That's enough for me . Just cancelled my account and thaks for takig the time to tell us of yr experiecne.

Strangely nobody has commented on DT's sworn right to keep all your earnings if u decide to close your account???

Why comment something which is common business?! IIRC e.g. SS does the same. So what?

Disable you pics first , wait until next payout, request payout, wait for payout hitting your bank account, close your DT account. Easy, isn't it?

Yes, that's the most obvious solution but please understand not everyone would think of doing that or more importantly feel that that was necessary.

And just because it's common practice doesn't make it right either. No matter how you look at it, keeping earnings which haven't hit the 100 mark and then to discover you've forfeited that money because you've closed your account is totally dishonest if you ask me.

Found this on another forum would anyone comment before joining

Let's be very clear about this. DT will not allow you to DELETE any images after the requisite 6 month period is up. You can only "disable" them as I said, which is of course another way of saying, we're going to hold onto them for as long we like because if we actually let you delete anything you also inadvertently reduce the value of our company.

Which also means should they decide to sell up or go bust he still has a bucket load of stock to open his next stall with.

Cha ching!

And then to add insult to injury you also forfeit all earnings if you happen to be a few cents short of the $100 mark as we were when we decided we'd had enough of these scam artists.

Need I say anymore!!!!
