Hi Everyone,

Thank you for your honest and frank opinions and well wishes! Thanks for being with us. For those of you who haven't joined up, do consider sending us your portfolio, don't wait!

 

Alex.

Understood, we'll monitor the situation from here and if any adverse effects come out, we'll know what to do.

Thank you very much for your suggestions

Alex.

Hi All,

Let me be very clear - We don't employ automated scripts to review your images. Else we'll NEVER have a queue. Each image batch is reviewed at random and assigned to different reviewers with different experience levels.

It's often difficult to judge which sells and which doesn't, however, we do apply some rules of thumb. I believe you'll agree with me, the process is an ever evolving one. We need to change and update ourselves constantly to ensure that we stay relevant.

I believe many of you have found that 123RF has never had a "closed door" policy with regards to appeals. And when you do appeal, we will take note of the trends etc. and we make it a part of our review process.  We need to refine and retune our review process all the time.

I for one, will certainly won't go around making up rules like whenever <whoever> sends in submissions, just accept them all without question. That, in my books smells of favoritism and very open to abuse.

If you have read our "Hear It" section at all, the number one advice that most photographers give is: Don't take rejections personally and perhaps we should all be more objective when it comes to rejections.

Thank you very much. I hope to receive your appeal soon.

Alex.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your support, we're always pushing the boundaries and with grow comes bigger challenges too. Yes, review times are taking and hit and we're reorganizing the way we work and review images in order to squeeze every ounce of efficiency we can get. We're also taking in new reviewers and our more experienced staff are passing on their experience to the 'young uns'.

We at 123RF appreciate the camaraderie here and the very honest comments, suggestions, criticisms and feedback. I'm sure you'll agree that there's so much to do and so much more to accomplish! Summer 2011 will be a big leap for 123RF as we open new sales channels and introduce new products in our line up. We really want to hit the ground running come autumn and lets really break some records this time around.

Stick with us, for a better future together. There's a saying, "Without you, there's no US!"

Alex

hi!

alternatively, you may send us your file and allow us to upload into your ftp and look at the processing. In this manner we can try as much as possible to replicate and see things from your side as much as possible.

Send your email and file to [email protected].

Thank you.

Alex.

Sorry All,

We had a bit of a problem with FTP and some FTP processing over the weekend. But I was assured that it has been fixed.

Can you please try once more and we'll try better this time?

Thank you for your patience.

Alex.

A lot of their rejections were always my best sellers on the other sites.

Can we have some examples? Links to the said best sellers perhaps?

If our review standards need tweaking, no worries, we can make sure of that but without a reference point, it'll be difficult. Thanks for your help.

Alex.

Ayzek,

I've looked at your submitted ID. We are also required to determine your age from your submitted ID. Unfortunately, the ID you submitted doesn't contain any date of birth information, therefore, we will not approve your contributor account until then.

Can you please submit a different ID with your DoB clearly shown on it?

Thank you very much.

Alex.

Dear 123RF Contributors:

At the moment, unless we're notified otherwise, your portfolio will be sold via our API Partner channels.

However, you may now opt out of 123RF API Partner sales if you wish to. Please email us at [email protected] and give us your 123RF.com USERID. You should email us from the email address that you use to register your account at 123RF.com. Please use this in your message title : "API Partner Sales Opt Out".

Please kindly note that at this time, you CANNOT choose to opt from specific partners. It's either ALL or NONE AT ALL.

We will implement this feature on the site at a later date to give you more control over your image distribution.

Thank you.

Alex.

Confused... where did this quote come from?

Always in the disclaimer section!

Hi All,

Please look here:

Images clearly belong to bowie15 : http://www.123rf.com/profile_bowie15

Was your portfolio compromised as well? They have a "takedown" procedure: http://www.freeimageworks.com/dmca

But they're selling unlimited downloads too! http://www.freeimageworks.com/signup

If this isn't illegal, i don't know what is. I think you should check if your images are on that site and get them to remove it.

Best regards,

Alex
for 123RF.com

Thank you for your support, really!

We can channel your submission into your portfolio -- all you have to do is instruct us to do so and we'll get it done for you.

Thank you very much.

Alex.

Thank you for your input.

ALL commissions to that account shall go to the Red Cross.
+ 123RF Limited will match the commission value as our own contribution.

Example, commissions total up to $500, 123RF shall also donate $500, making it $1000 to the Red Cross.

I hope that's sufficiently clear. 123RF.com has always split 50%-50% Nett commissions (credits) and paid $0.36/download for subscriptions with our contributors.

There is no element of "gain" or "profit" from this. We didn't even do any Press Releases. This is totally from our hearts. This is a donation drive, it is only proper that everything should go to charity. Correct?

Thank you.

Alex.
