Dreamstime.com / Re: Question about Image Flagged for Improper Keywords

Those two "chosen" keywords are just the ones the person was searching for when s/he clicked report.

i see it now. I was going to far into the search process by clicking on an image then scrolling down to the report link. I re-read one of the posts above and see that clicking the link in the thumbnail view of your search results would generate a flag from your search terms. That, in itself, is an issue....but better than being overun by trolls!

The past several days I have had some really weird flags like this. The keywords central to the concept have been flagged. In each case, it was someone with no history or portfolio, who just joined the SAME DAY they flagged the images.

I think there are some flagging trolls on Dreamstime lately. Seriously doubt Dreamstime will remove any relevant keywords, but they might want to look into what's going on with these flagging trolls.

I have to agree. Just got flagged by one of these trolls...new account - information set to private - no purchases - no portfolio. I think these people are flagging anything and everything they think they can get away with to make 2 cents.
My keywords were perfectly relevant. This flagging system is probably going to turn into a bad ordeal.
It is far more likely to be new buyer testing out the site and hitting the wrong button by mistake.

I had considered that first but it seems unlikely that someone accidentally hit the "report" link and then accidentally chose two keywords.

I seem to be missing approx 25 images from my portfolio and it looks like my earnings may have been misplaced during the transition as I am back to a zero balance....but other than that... I think the site looks really good.

Image Sleuth / Lots of Watermarked Images

« on: January 22, 2011, 15:39 »

I was poking around google last night to see if I could find any of my images in use and came across a forum that is full of watemarked images. Mostly from IS, SS and Veer.
It appears to be a game played out within a forum. It looks to be harmless fun and not hardcore pirating but I thought I would post a link and make the stock community aware of it.

Im not sure exactly how the game is played or whats going on but if you click on any of the game round threads you'll find the watermarked images.

Yay Me! Got my first sale today! I knew that if I hung around long enough, even with a portfolio as small as mine, I would get a sale.
Thanks CC!
