- Business card eternal fiasco
- EL percentage reduction fiasco
- Agency search fiasco
- Magical mystery changing vector prices fiasco

Someone help me to increase list? Is it not sufficient to Mr Thompson resign?

Were you banned as well cclapper?

Apparently I have not been banned from the forums, as I was able to post one this morning. But I expect that thread will be locked very soon.

I took a payout on Sun. am and it left $.17 in my account. Today, I still have $.17 in my account. Either sales are not being reported correctly or my wooyaying-nauseating comment in another thread here has offended the mighty gods and they decided to punish me with no sales, because 2 days with NO downloads has not happened to me since I first started uploading a few years ago! I checked my most downloaded images and they are still showing in the best match as they did before.

November sales (one of amazing last four mouths) are total crap, at least for me.

He is in fact one of the nicest guys at IS. 

By the way, the last one. Where are the other IS people?!?!?

Just remembering:

Sep 28. FAQ thread:

You will see these fixes coming online during our weekly releases over the next few months.

Where is the "weekly releases"? Someone saw?

Sometimes i think that everyone went away and left Lobo barking at forums.

Sad.

By the way, the fast approvals go away. Back to 24 hours or more.  :-\

Yes. Until now.

I'm a vector contributor and i never was contacted by Istock. By the way, even support tickets take too long to be answered.

This kind of Istock message, asking for content, never existed.

« on: November 10, 2010, 06:12 »
Vectors are being inspected in hours (two or three). This may indicate a lower volume of uploads, no? What you think? Usually took 24 hours or more.

Similar mixed feelings about your wonderful greasemonkey scripts - it seems a bit like enabling. There's a risk that it'll slow IS down even further in doing what they need to to get the site running well. "Oh, not to worry about breaking ........(fill in the blank)......... Sean'll write a script to work around the problem."

Yeah, I know.  I'm sure I'll get bored with this new toy soon ;).

----------------------------
Maybe this could be a new income stream?  Every time somebody installs one of your scripts Istock gives you a nickle?
completely unsustainable  ;)

Run to enjoy the last amazing four mounths

I am very impressed with the speed of Istock decay. Some months ago we are a happy bunch of people celebrating Istock 10 years with an amazing contest that mobilized thousands of people around the world.

Now, we are here, begging for some respect and dignity.

Or a new evil package for contributors.

Dowloads are disable. At least for me. Just one since last friday.

Amazing last four mounths not working for me...

9lives ( www.9livesillustrations.com ), an amazing gold illustrator put down all portfolio and wrote at illustration forum:

"I don't think they'd want that to be easy for us, especially right now.

Call me crazy, but I am on strike easily reversible or not. I have dropped exclusive status, deactivated my portfolio and will not be uploading at iStock anymore. Short of a change in management and/or a drastic change in company policy, I am moving on.

I'm done with the corporate double speak, lack of communication, pay cuts, unfair sales targets, random "price testing", bugs that affect getting paid properly (EL's, subscriptions etc), and above all the apparent lack of concern and respect for vector artists in particular but all contributors in general.

When designers I work with ask me about what's going on at iStock recently (and they do), you can bet I'm not holding back. There are limits to how you can treat people and still expect to profit from them. For me, iStock/Getty is way past that limit."



Very well stated post.


Yes, but it's a very sad for us. I'm really pissed of with all this crap of last moths. I'm a vector gold illustrator also and my royalties will be cuted to 25% next year. It's a complete unfair system. 25 for me and 75 for Getty?!?!?!? IT'S A SHAME, UNFAIR.

MR. THOMPSON, GO HOME!!!

And Logo program?!?!? Maybe it's a main FIASCO ever (and it's not so easy in last Istock times). Almost one year since launch and still not released for sales.

do you know there is a greasemonkey script made just for that particular issue? Works very well if you use firefox.

(which indeed doesn't answer why istock can't fix it at the source)


Yep. Remember me something like this:

Weekly releases, where are you?!?!?!? We still have a lot of bugs. A rain forest of bugs.

And the 15 credits vectors back to 14. Still no messages about it from Istock.

Shame, disrespect and mess. All amazing work from Bruce destroyed in three months.
