Just got a warning from Shutterstock.  I was phasing out of the forum anyway after un-licensing my portfolios there recently.  So, whatever.  Good luck to all who are still with Shutterstock.

Of all the reasons you gave them, they chose the best one!
Obviously, some admins have a good sense of humor!

Jon is a fellow contributor.  He should be angry about the changes Shutterstock made last year too!!  lol

Well done.

Jon Oringer is nothing more than low life scum as we say in the UK.

FWIW, we say that same thing here in the US.

Other variants here: pond scum, scum sucker, etc. 

English is a rich, beautiful language, ain't it?  ;D

From his port it seems like he stopped shooting stock a long time ago.
Maybe his work didn't suck in that era  :D

I'm all for good relationship between contributors and an agency.  I just gave my honest opinion on his portfolio.  I thought his photos sucked in terms of skill and artisticity despite them being from nearly 20 years ago.  But that wasn't the main point of my post on Shutterstock.  My point was that Jon probably wasn't those who pride in their creations in photos and videos.  I thought he probably thinks we should be happy making some money on the side from photos that would've been collecting dust in our hard drives.  If he was one of us creators who pride in our works, he wouldn't have done what he has done in the midst of pandemic to hurt us.  That' was my point of the original post on Shutterstock.  Although his photos lacked professional skill and artisticity, I can see that he gets why and what would sell in stock photos.  That's why he has been a successful businessman growing his Shutterstock into multi billion dollar corporation.  He has made all the right decisions for the company and for us for so many years, until last year imo.  So, I'm not trying to trash him at all.  I was trying to understand and find a clue of why Jon Oringer did what he did last year with Shutterstock to hurt us contributors.  I just hope that he'll correct his mistakes he made last year and roll back changes Shutterstock made to pre-covid days when most of us were happy working with Shutterstock.

"I was trying to understand and find a clue of why Jon Oringer did what he did last year with Shutterstock to hurt us contributors". I think Billionaires tend to have a different make up to most of us which drives them to continue pile up money when a more rational person would say "OK thats enough now". Whether its good for society we have such people to create wealth is another debate.

 I just gave my honest opinion on his portfolio.

People need to stop justifiying being rude and insulting by saying "I just gave my opinion!!!".

There are a lot of forum rules on Shutterstock, one is "be polite" another "Provide honest, constructive feedback without being disrespectful or mean" How is saying someone's profile "sucks" constructive? Next rule says "Refrain from using the forum to call out other contributors work in a negative light", which is exactly what you did. Jon Oringer certainly did not come to the forum to ask for your opinion on his (test) portfolio. You made a thread specifically for calling out his work in a negative light. And then there is a rule saying "Refrain from making defamatory remarks about Shutterstock, our contributors, our customers, or our competitor", which you have broken in many of the 446564 threads you post daily.

I don't like Oringer any more than anyone else here does, but you broke several rules, you got a well deserved warning, stop whining.

Surprised he's not got a temporary ban or at least a warning for: "You should work on your photo skill rather than wasting your time posting craps you stupid redneck MFer".

Maybe he got a warning, you never know. Seems a bit of a step up from an 'opinion'.

I do agree in Polite and be constructive even if it is bad feedback. And you always can use humor to point that out.
This reminds me of how two state figures used it in my country while one defined the government's work to fight COVID.
 "your work looks like the fine flower of the rubble" - which is also a title from a book.

This Uncle Pete HodagMedia guy has been rude to me on Shutterstock forum and here.  I'm not the one who attack somebody first.  I'm only reacting to somebody being rude attacking me.  That MFer only posts meaningless crap.

I believe the forum is a place to whine and let them know how we feel.  No need to play nice after they deliberately took our money to prop up their stock price and increase their stock option payout by millions of $$$.  I would be nice if they were nice to us contributors.  So, stop playing nice to the devils making our lives harder.  They only exploit our weakness.  They struck first.  We strike back.

Whilst I understand your obvious anger (as most of us are also angry) with what shittysucks have done I think your constant posts on their forum will earn you a lifetime ban sooner or later, and also you stand a good chance of having your account closed too.   

Shystersticks really don't like open criticism and get quite pissy with their detractors.

I'm feeling slighted.  I said Jon wouldn't know good photography if it jumped up and bit him in the ass, and didn't get a warning.  *pout*
