If you can see their face you definatly need a model release and istock are even asking for releases now when you can't even see the face but can recognize the person by their surroundings etc.

Help me with the definition of exclusive.  If I have several images that are essentially the same but each definitely from a different RAW file, can can each individual file be sent exclusive to different agencies? [/quote]
 

I read once on the DT forums that an exclusive photo musn't have any photos up elsewhere  of photos from one session with same models and same outfits even if the poses were completely different with different concepts.

This happens a lot at SS but it always catches up in the end.  Sometimes I have one amount on the home page, another one in details and yet another one when I click on the date and in my experience by the end of the day they are all the same. 

istock you can delete yourself.  Just open the file and scroll right down to bottom of page and you get the option to desactivate file.

they are threatening to drop any un-disambiguated images to the back of the pack.

Only the ones that have been uploaded since they changed the rules.  This doesn't apply to legacy images that people haven't had time to DA  yet.  Nothing annoys me more than seeing new images coming through with bad keywording and not beeing DA'd.  They said that once they have put them to the back it will be easier to use the bulk tools and get rid of the real spamming.

I reckon FT are selling no more than 100 images a day instead of the 10,000 announced in their last press release.

I averaged nearly 12 a day last month (360 a month) with 400 on line so your reckoning is way off as I'm sure there are 100s of others that do the same or better than me.

- When submitting to a request, because it may take ages for the requestor to see it and maybe he buys something else or gives up before that. I haven't done lately and if I did with the current long waiting times in DT, I would email support to have them inspected quickly (though I don't know it would work in DT).

DT have inspected photos for me in a matter of hours if it's for a request and I e.mail them to let them know.

I wrote to support to get my EL's all changed to 50 credits recently and it was done within 24 hours. I only get the occasional EL and was a bit worried that  they would stop all together but have had one already so it was well worth it.

The majority of my downloads fo to Germany and France and of the rest most are to Europe.
I love the fact that you can trace so many of the downloads.  I have managed to find dozens this way.  It's a shame the other sites don't provide this information.

Same here,  they even excepted some without model releases at first but then after a few days started to reject them if I didn't get the model releases attatched quick enough.
 The problem is I sometimes forget  to go back and add them so I've started moving them to folders once they have been keyworded.

That's strange, I'm in europe as well but still can't get onto site.  I've tried everything even clicking on link at side of this message but it's impossible.  Thanks anyway
