I always resubmit everything that's rejected to all agencies, is, ss, dt, big,  (fotolia and 123 accepts everything I send them, veer most everything so no need with them) It's just part of my system I have set up.  SS especially because for me they have been the least consistent. I resubmit quite a bit later, usually a few months at least. One time I got a warning from IS. I even do this with Getty / Flickr. Have had many images selected the second time around, even with Getty / Flickr.

Haven't you received a warning?? Some users do 
I just wonder how the revs do know when you are submitting rejected images....

How DO they know when an image was already rejected?

Just wanted to bring up this topic after reading the contributor who was banned... reading some posts here in these forums, I read that user Slovenian had also a warning, and I wonders are... how does this work? do you believe that all users who resubmit their rejections get warnings? do you remove rejected files from your SS account? do you wait some months to resubmit. No intention to create arguments, just bring up this matter into an independant forum to see people's opinion.

Well, I have just read what he said on his DT submitters-as-inspectors thread and he was pretty aggressive. He has a point - though I think the point is better aimed at another site where there seems to be fairly clear evidence of at least some inspectors colluding and using the system to award themselves special privileges, I am not aware of that happening at DT.

When people feel diminished as a result of rejections and policies that they feel affect them negatively it is easy for that to turn to anger and an obsession with perceived wrongdoing.

Which site are you talking about??

But... to get a warning you have to resubmit tons of photos, haven't you?? I mean, with 80.000 photos being added every week, do you believe that inspectors remember exactly which photos are resubmissions and which are new ones?? Every inspector have in a day thousands of shots to review, they must be Mr. Memory to remember all the shots rejected and re uploaded. In SS you have the option to delete rejection photos from your account...

Say stockfresh, say depositphotos, anyway... what I mean is just leave the most greedy sites and go to less ones...

There's several sites that pay around 50% commission.  How hard would it be for buyers and contributors to switch?

Ditto!

Just my 2 cents... why don't we all contributors do something to favor fair sites like 123RF, canstock, veer, etc.. and put boycott on the greedy screwing ones like fotolia and istock? Seems like "Big 4" have carte blanche to do with the constributors what they want and we do absolutely nothing. What if a massive amount of people starts to drop those * sites and go to fair ones? what about all of you big contributors with web pages and a good background of customers bring your customers to fair sites? just stop sharing greedy sites banners on your pages, stop giving them a single $ of your comissions, try to move your customers to other sites...

I got entire bunch of photos rejected for poor lighting setup, but others with a really awful light seems to be accepted like these:

Dude! this question has been brought into DT blogs 

http://blog.dreamstime.com/2009/09/29/model-releases-are-real-realy-_art30504

Just wonder. I don't complain, I have good sales there but the upload and keyword processing is a bit annoying 

Achilles is the Big Boss of dreamstime  and it's very nice from him to come here and give explanation to the posts.

Fotolia staff could learn from him 

just my 2 cents

PS. Is there any other stock page moderator/admin who is registered here?

It's very annoying when you get refusals like " we have a lot of this and don't need more" type and just look at the recent accepted images and see lots of the same type that you got rejected 

Or you submit a pic that you consider technically perfect, good illumination,without noise etc, and got rejected and you see real crap recently accepted (isolations with no white backgrounds, noisy pics, dark or bad illuminated, etc) in all agencies it's just the good or bad shift reviewer mood  if he/she likes the pic-->approved if not -->rejected. It's inconsistent

Then strangely, you'll find just a godawful pic of similar subject accepted, and the submitting photog just happens to be on the favorites list of one of the admins there. Have seen this on more than one occasion.

Is this true?? can you provide examples?

I'm so sick of fotolia * policies and I had an argue in a forum, next thing I got was my account blocked BUT my pictures kept online and funnies thing: I was receiving every day many emails "Photograph Sold" so I was selling pictures and I couldn't enter into my account, It was a entire nightmare to send and send and send again emails to support to remove my pictures online... Those money I made selling pics with my account disabled I lost it.
