I have the same problems nearly regularly and even if I want to keep cool Im angry every time I get such an rejection mail. Its no problem when the rejection is based on a real problem (for ex. you have forgotten a logo) or when they say "no, we do not like it". I can handle this. But if there is today this problem, tomorrow that problem and the next day another problem, its really frustrating - especially if you have an upload limit.
The same is when you had a series of photos: Same light and the same workflow, but some are OK, some not - depending on the inspector.
I think, some microstock-inspectors work too exactly in the moment, one little artifact on a 4200 x 2800 pixel photo and they say no. They are afraid that a buyer could complain and they get a problem. But they do not think of the frustration of the 1000 photographers getting rejections that are hard do understand. But again: Often the rejections are OK and understandable, and I think we all had learned a lot of these rejections!
But sometimes I like it getting rejections on microstocks: Some month ago I had a scan of a photo that was really not so good (to my opinion). All microstocks rejected it because of artifacts etc. I decided to upload it to a macrostock and they said it was OK. Last week it had been sold to a large insurance company for printing in A3 and they like its - 250 Euros for me....
