Post by: arapix on December 14, 2016, 13:27
Hello,

It takes long time (many days) , it's normal with other agencies , but with SS I used to get the status of my uploaded content in the same day ?

I find editorial is usually really quick (anywhere from 5 mins to 2 hours). Other stuff usually takes maximum 24 hours for me.

ow boy, if a few days is upsetting you, you would have had a stroke a few years back when review times were 2 weeks or longer

Upload in morning, reviewed in minutes to an hour. Upload at night, next day. Weekends can be hit or miss. Photo

Vectors are taking 2/3 days, raster usually a day.

I've had one vector on CanStockPhoto, (medical sexual nature), awaiting for approval for 3 months.  Having contacted them previously regarding a similar themed image I was informed that images of a 'sexual' nature are reviewed separately. A job maybe I'll apply for when I retire.

Aha , I understand now.

In fact I was asking about Vectors . so they take longer time than Photos .

And sure SS is great with view time , I am not upset , I just want to understand.

Thanks for you all

No wonder it takes so long for vectors to be reviewd when spammers are uploading thousands and thousand of almost identical icons.

About 3 or 4 days for vectors.

I've noticed some hiccups recently in review process too - half of the batch reviewed within an hour, the other half pending for days. With one of the last submissions I deleted the pending files and resubmitted - they were then reviewed real quick.

Yeah, my reviewer has suddenly started reviewing an image here and an image there while most of them sit in the queue....very odd.

I now have a batch pending for 6 days. This is new - in 2016 and before they used to review images in a couple of hours. I think the max pending time was 24 hours.

I find editorial is usually really quick (anywhere from 5 mins to 2 hours). Other stuff usually takes maximum 24 hours for me.

Last editorial one went through and four had an error. Before I could correct the errors I got the email the first one was approved. The rest took a little longer. That was an afternoon upload.

Photos RF depend on what time of day NY time. Work days, daytime they fly through. Nights they take a day sometimes. Remember when it's 4PM NY it's 9PM or later in Europe. That's when reviews slow down. Mornings if you upload before 5AM NY time, you have the most staff middle day in Europe.

Weekends are like our sales. Usually the slowest reviews from Friday afternoon until Monday morning.

Review time never been this fast and it's the fastest of all agencies. I have photos uploaded to other sites over 30 days ago, still under review.
