Would have been nice to turn ports on and off....Buyers would put pics in their lightbox and the next day theyre gone......I would only need 5 more $ to reach payout and then leave forever. But my port is off.Do you get the same message when turning ports on? 30 days no return to off?
Wonder if the search ranking line means that now once deactivated, images lose all ranking points and start from 0 again on re-enabling...
Does it happen to you too?I changed my link in my SS profile and I discovered that SS is tampering with it, redirecting the URL at a dull website of home improvement.Have a look at my ss profile https://www.shutterstock.com/g/gameover/about Maybe it is just me, but... childish, uh?https://twitter.com/acrogame/status/1281899115518078976

I don't think there is anything malicious going on here, must be a coding error?

Shutterstock new policy is humiliating its contributors paying peanuts for their creative work. To find me please follow the link below.
QuoteShutterstock new policy is humiliating its contributors paying peanuts for their creative work. To find me please follow the link below.Interesting, since I clicked the first link and lots of what you consider "creative work" consists in selling scans of illustrations from old books, illustrations (even paintings) you did not create of course (childish, uh?). Is "creative" the way you push the button on the scan? And you claim to earn more than pennies from this? By honesty, you simply should NOT. You are not well placed to speak for genuine creative artist investing lots of time and efforts to produce quality and original work. Thes ones have the right to complain.
This is actually a way to keep you from DELETING your images.While your portfolio is disabled, you can't access your own images to delete them. They still show up in Shutterstock's database, so Google sees them, and directs searchers to Shutterstock, using your image. They still count toward Shuttertock's count of images.So, rather than disable, delete.
I am getting this message when deleting videos. Is this another threat? I could not find anything in the terms about never being allowed to upload again.
Im surprised this is allowed and not copyrighted to scan old paintings and sketches?Every picture I take with just a small sculpture or grafitti somewhere in the background is rejected for not having a release (even editorial - just had a pic rejected with a wooden sculpture sawn from a dead tree trunk just at the side of a view over a valley and it was rejected three minutes ago as having no release).And this kind of sketches and paintings needs no relaese??Im astonished.
The rule is : old sketches, paintings and other works become public domain 70 years after the creator's death.

Image for freeI have activated my SS account to delete my last images and I have discovered that SS gives my images for freehttps://luisafumi.com/img-for-free.jpgI disabled my account again.Happens this to you too?I put the direct link here, as all my remaining images are still there even if disabledhttps://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/seasonal-beer-garden-closed-autumn-fallen-1469010212

If your images are active, they might all have that promo on them. I deleted all my images, so I cant check if its on mine, but I suspect everyone will have that download for free trial text next to their image. If you dont want SS giving your images away, the best thing to do is delete your images and close your account. Its clear they are playing games with peoples property. I dont know why people are ok to continue doing business with such an untrustworthy company.If you disable your photos, search for that image as a buyer and try to download it, you will likely get the same message Noedelhap got, because your images are disabled.

I disabled my account again because also when deleted, the image-thumbs were always in my catalog manager. Clicking on them, I could see the corresponding image not anymore, but seeing my port as buyer I discovered the images (deleted) always free to download.

As I understand, it seems that there is the possibility of free downloading in images that are disabled for sale, that is, they can be downloaded if for promotion of new customers, free, without paying, images disabled for sale, enabled for promotional download fully free? It is actually a very interesting thread. The images serve to promote SS without receiving money for them, not sales, but free. Am I getting it right? Can you confirm this situation? Thank you.

I could not find anything in the terms about never being allowed to upload again.I had a quick re-read of the Contributor Terms of Service and the Submitter Guidelines and I don't see anything on that topic either (I did a search for delete and remove as well). If you click on the terms link, which document does it take you to (I can't check as my account is disabled)?I think they're discouraging deletion of content, but that's a pretty sleazy move if the terms really don't disallow uploading again
I clicked on your link above. I am logged into SS as a buyer. When I click the download button, it says contact support for assistance. That seems to indicate that yes, your images are disabled, and if I want it, I need to talk to them.The SS contributor agreement says they can sell your images for 90 days (or some reasonable time) after you disable your account because some buyers may have used a lo rez thumbnail in a comp, and then want to buy the high rez.SHUTTERSTOCK TERMSFollowing the removal of any item of Content from Shutterstock, Shutterstock may amend any existing licenses to such Content for a reasonable period thereafter, for instance to support customers who may have previously activated a "comp" license.Section e under Accountshttps://submit.shutterstock.com/legal/termsRemember, disabling your account doesnt happen instantaneously. For instance, if you have 5,000 images, they might disable 100 at a time or something. When I was deleting mine, I had to wait until the next day for an accurate count, until the server updated.
So shutterstock just put in a message that once you disable content you can't turn it on for 30 days. And that it'll negatively affect performanceWow, these people just don't let up on the arm twisting and scare tactics. Since when did having a fair dialog go out of styleSent from my HD1901 using Tapatalk
