So that's how he feels about us, but keeps opening new accounts? Yes that's different alright.

Well, I'm going to bed drunk with love for SS tonight. If I could get this many EL's and OD's per day I'd be oh so very content - but I'm afraid tomorrow will be just a normal day and I will have to blush and remember what a great day we had together today

Sorry, I'm not talking submissions though....

Glad it's not just me! SS has gone ballistic this month. More EL's and OD's than you can shake a hairy stick at.

I love SS sales, but I think their reviewing is highly inconsistent and often borders on the bizarre.

I've had images that were accepted at IS and DT rejected for being out of focus at SS (just had a batch of 3 rejected this way yesterday). LCV rejections on images that have sold really well elsewhere. At least they don't have an "overfiltered" rejection

If the shot is outdoors and in dramatic light, the odds go way up that they'll reject - but that if they do happen to accept it, that it will sell very well there.

Funnily enough, BigStock (which now appears to be doing everything via SS) just rejected some images from last fall (I had stopped uploading to BigStock) that SS accepted - BS says out of focus. I know the images aren't out of focus.

I have a lovely picture I was given of a pickup truck in a swamp with the caption "Words of wisdom doni't mean sh*t until you're ready for them". IMO until SS has any interest in setting up a process to fix the things that are broken with reviewing, contributor complaints are a waste of breath - SS isn't interested in or ready for them.

I've been doing this for long enough, you'd think I'd just be able to brush it off, but it still p*sses me off!

Not everybody in Caesar's time thought of him as a great man. Guess it all depends on whose side you were standing on

True but the important bit here is that Caesar thought he was a great man

Ever watched interviews with psychopaths on death row? Many of them refer to themselves and their actions in the third person too.

Also bear in mind, if a reviewer has looked at files from a nikon d 800 and gets a bunch from a nikon d 70. How would you react?

why shou;d the camera matter at all? images should stand on their own - alamy is one of the worst in this regard - automatically damning some cameras which produce perfectly acceptable images.

All wrong. Anybody here know some Latin? ( asking for a miracle probably). Anyway, Caesar always refered to himself as a man of the past, using words like had, was, etc. As did Napoleon and Nelson.

Weird way of bragging. So you know some Latin? Congratulations. And you assume that everybody else here has no education which might include some Latin? You might be surprised to find some highly educated retired (and even still professionally active) "photographers" here. I am sure you might find some retired (and active) Professors, Doctors, Engineers, Lawyers, etc. who happened to be retired or hobby photographers lurking the threads at MSG. Some might even enlighten you with some Historic Greek and Hebrew I am sure. Hope you "click" what I am trying to say

Quite highly educated myself (not that it matters here at all, as I have a lot to learn from a lot of members here). Not sure how you think that I thought you where referring to me specifically, if you made a general sweeping assumption of us all, as quoted above. Although some contributors do bark at each other here, it does not give you the superior edge in treating them here...

Superior edge? because I happend to describe Caesars way of reffering to himself? mentioning Latin, etc. Youre kidding me surely? may I suggest you have another cup of whatever and start the day all over.

end of conversation. have a good day sir.
