Wish I'd never started this thread all I wanted was for people to be nice to each other! Mind you people have been nailed to a cross for that! :o

No its called free speech nothing to do with Democracy  ???


Thought I'd stop now but can't resist......What power?



MSG is called a democracy because power resides not in a few people but in the majority of our members.  8)

Me too! Think I got the notice on the dot of 1 st month. If Alamy are reading this it would be helpful if your notification said something like "funds will reach your account by 15th of the month" as it gave the impression it would be there straightaway. Off to shop to buy something bright and shiny now  ;D

Actually I quite like getting a few - ves if I put an OPINION it usually means I'm on to something!  but its just irritating when you see them where someone is asking a question or stating a fact.

I've been looking at a few threads today and noticed a lot of "Disagree" negatives for people asking simple question or reporting facts. Shouldn't as a community be encouraging people rather than coming across as a bunch of know it all miserable gits who don't want to help or encourage anyone to join our exclusive club of self appointed experts?

Just because someone disagrees doesn't mean they are being a know-it-all. If someone said "I had a great day today on SS" I would have to disagree, because I am NOT having a great day on SS. That doesn't mean I begrudge the person for having a great day. Does everyone in your life always agree with you? I thought not.  :)

It is a pet hate of mine, so I will bloody mindedly disagree with anyone on the internet who poses a rhetorical question and then either answer or assume the answer themselves.

And how does this help anyone or add value? Perhaps if you feel this is bad practice you should say so and why? Personally I think its overly pedantic

NO!!!  they are still having a great day If I said it was raining here would you disagree if it wasn't raining on the other side of the world?

"I got the email telling me my payment was due and my account is now zeroed - no paypal payment received yet - is this a normal waiting time? thanks"

How in any logical sense can anyone agree or disagree with the above?

It partly depends how easy they are to upload to and you may find you do well on some - I upload to some if I have time but always prioritise getting stuff on the higher earners.

I don't understand the concept of disagreeing with something thats a fact. It would be nice if more participants on the site could be more positive and encouraging rather than constantly whining like teenagers "Its not fair boo hoo" - now disagree with that!

Istock has at least one article on best practice.  I only wish their inspectors were required to read and enforce it.

Sorry, I was on the phone. Here it is:

The first page is about their CV, page two covers the sort of things mentioned above.


Thanks Sue

H'mm On Dreamstime they tell you what words customers have used to find images I have had sales on searches with key words totally unrelated to the image and also not included in my list.

I'm not sure how literal you should be - concepts as well as what you can see are important aren't they? Genuinely curious is there a good guide to best practice preferably issued by one of the agencies?
