I'm sorry. Did I explain I was rating them from a contributors point of view?
I think my intention was to imply that this was "My" personal rating....me....the MIZ.
That survey you point out seems to indicate a BUYERS point of view.
Hey, guess what!? Your not gonna believe this (hehehe) but this thread is NOT about iStock.
(I hate people who drift off into their own little world and don't pay attention.)

Hey I'm the first one to admit I SUCK on iStock!
I just don't have what it takes. I do a lot of PS work and they don't want PS concept images.
I don't blame them, that's their policy and I go along with it without complaints.
iStock is a viable and honorable business. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about them.
I am an artist more than a photographer. They prefer photography pure and simple. I understand
that and accept it no matter how many rejections I get.

As you all are aware, I resell Microstock Supplies for emotionally disturbed photographers. It's a service a perform as a "NON-PROFIT" venture. Today I wish to announce our newest product "Blam-Blaster" TM As always, I read theses forums and try to import items which I think may be of some relief for the emotionally challenged persons that are less artistically inclined. Blam-Blaster TM has been tested in Eastern Europe and is now available world-wide. http://microstockpix.com/supplies/page10/page10.htmlCranky MIZ The voice of reason

WARNING the following content may be graphic.
Parental discretion is advised.
This scenario is written by a professional, do not attempt to write one by yourself at home.
This is just one of many reviewers from the many many stock sites across the globe.
It's 3am and Rob, our reviewer rolls out of bed.
His eye lids are stuck together by the glue that mysteriously is secreted at night while we sleep.
Rob's head is pounding, he thinks to himself "Shoot, too much vodka last night". "I gotta slow down soon"
As he stumbles into the kitchen to make coffee, he opens up a bottle pills laying on the kitchen counter.
popping 4 or 5 into his mouth, he takes a deep breath. Rob makes the coffee reaches into the fridge for the milk
and pulls out a near empty container that been in the fridge for 5 weeks. He sniffs the pouring spout, and his heads reels back
from the un-Godly odor of the few drops of milk. He pours it into his coffee, lites a cigarette and starts up his laptop.
Rob notices the one piece of spaghetti hanging off the laptop's screen, and flicks it off with his finger.
After 10 minutes, the laptop boots up and our friend Rob leaves his world, and enters his place of employment on the INTERNET!
Good thing there are no dress codes here. Rob has only his underwear on he's been wearing now for 3 weeks.
As Rob uses one hand to scratch the crack between his cheeks, the other types his password. He's in! ready to work.
Rob is a senior reviewer for a major stock imaging company on the web. Now that the pills are kicking in, and his eyes
are almost able to focus, Rob begins his day. "Why are there so many pictures of people smiling?" he thinks to himself.
REJECT-REJECT-REJECT-REJECT "people can't be that happy" "it's not reality" Rob uses one of the many "Canned" reject
messages already set to use with a click of the mouse. "Image not acceptable for stock"
Rob get's up...rises from his laptop goes to the bathroom to urinate and collapses on the floor.
The END
Note: The reviewer depicted here in our dramatic scenario is purely fictional and was created for entertainment purposes only.

In light of the recent rebellion on a particular site. It was cool!
All who participated took up their keyboards instead of arms.
They made the opposition capitulate and make concessions as well.
The army of rebellious photographers moved forward gathering momentum, and squeezing their opponent.
They backed them into a corner, leaving it no place left to go. At this point it was either give up or die! ...they surrendered.
These brave rebels deserve our appreciation for the sacrifice's they made for all of us.
I think those who made the ultimate sacrifice and pulled their portfolios should be honored by us all.
For those who endured the torture of suspending their uploads?
You will be no less remembered, and will live in all our hearts. I wish to extend my heart felt thanks to you all.
I have decided to donate my first .32 cents subscription to a monument to be erected in memory to you all.
(others wishing to donate may deposit your contributions into my paypal account as well)

...and I almost tend to believe they're taking down all the names of ALL the rebels too!
There'll be hell to pay when this is all over.
A few microstockers might even regret they became involved in this ridiculous rebellion.
There will be consequences I'm almost certain. (hehehe)

Yes I'm afraid from where I stand (no one but U and I) it is just you.
If I'm eating out, and I know what I want to eat, I want the waiter to bring it to my table.
I'd rather not go through the self serve line picking out this and that, not that.
Well reviewers I suspect are feeling the same way. They want to be served.
Providing them a link disturbs their work flow, takes them to another competitive site;
which perhaps might not be exactly whats on their agenda.
Personally I'm in the middle of negotiations with several sites with my plan to upload
all my images to my personal server in one central area. Then ask them that they visit and download
my images from there, rather than have me waste any unnecessary time uploading to all those sites everyday.
It would kill many birds with one stone.
