Canva / Notice of violation emails
« on: February 21, 2024, 08:47 »
Starting from last week I've got several emails from Canva with "Notice of violation" topic.

In each email there are noticed about some of my contents (3-5 in each mail) like:

"Violation details
Smiling Young Woman in Bikini Swimsuit on Beach (Raster)
Facts and circumstances:
We identified this content through our own investigation.
This content violates our policies on sexual content.
This decision was made by a member of our team.
Enforcement taken:
This content wont be shown to Canva Education account holders."

These are all old contents, uploaded 2 years ago or more. Beach photos in bikinis, protos of people drinking beer in the bar and similar. Usual stock contents.

It's OK for me if they delete some previously accepted contents, but latest email also says: "Repeated violations may result in the permanent suspension of your Canva account." Nothing like this in previous emails.

It would be so stupid to lose my account just because they deleted some old contents. I wonder if I'm the only one getting these notices lately.

Got this:

***

"This is an automated notification. Your portfolio includes images that have been online for more than 4 years with no downloads up to the present. In order to keep up with the current standards we recommend transferring them to the free section, allowing fresh content to be more visible.

The following action options are available for you to decide:

- donate the image to the free section which can provide significant portfolio exposure and increase your sales; images can be disabled at any time later. We are also announcing a new feature that enables designers to donate a specific amount to the photographer (minimum $3 USD, entire amount awarded to you).
- keep the image online.

In order to review the images and take the desired action, please access the link below.
If no action is taken, your images will be automatically donated to the free section after 7 days from this email."


***

Sounds very bad. Does anyone know how to change default option for "keeping images online", or "delete images"? I've tried to find it but I can't.

I don't want to "donate" anything to free section, I've never opted-in for anything like this and I hate seeing this as a default option.

Hello,

i set the price for videos on Pond5 and i see buyers can only buy HD for full price.

as i see, some contributors are offering downsized versions for smaller prices, and that's what i would want to do.

the question is - HOW? i can not find any option on site to allow this.

please help

thank you!

« on: October 02, 2009, 13:26 »
here's a copy of my message to istock. anyone around the world but Estonia and China have the same problem?

(anonymuse.org gives me access to istock, but i'm not willing to log in under such service with my password)

***

hello!

i can not access istock for more than 48 hours, it gives me the message:

Access Denied
You don't have permission to access "http://www.istockphoto.com/" on this server.

Reference #18.4ef6d4d9.1254507454.73b21fe

i know it's not my PC issue, and others people using same ISP cannot access istock too. ISP is infonet.ee from Estonia, and it's the biggest in my country.

please let me know if possible, what's the problem with my ISP and will the issue be fixed anytime soon.

thanks a lot in advance,
