I am referring to the poll that was sent by e-mail from SS with the chance to win a graphics tablet.

I saw from another thread quite a few contributors wanted a crack down on contributors spamdexing their images.

I suggested more comprehensive stats well at least being able to click on an image and find out how many DLs and DL/month.

What other things did you suggest/moan about?

I see they were floating the idea of a keywording service like DT have.

I didn't get the survey sent to me.

Yes, as I noted in another thread, spam is a big issue.

Also said, I like the simplicity - no stupid fan clubs, faving, creative networks, lightboxes, etc. Views don't matter to me. And also stated I wanted DL numbers kept private because it only promotes copying.

As far as not getting the survey, maybe they will do another mailing wave. I am over $500 there. Perhaps they used that as a criteria in the mailing.

Nope. I am way over 5000 USD and I have not got any poll either.

I got one and mentioned that I would like images (especially vectors) to be indexed based on their approval date and not the submittion date to keep images from being buried too deeply!

lagereek · « **Reply #17 on:** November 06, 2008, 10:14 »

Im way over 10000 bucks and have not got one.

riffmax · « **Reply #18 on:** November 06, 2008, 11:42 »

I got one - I asked for new images to show up sooner. I just had a batch of Christmas stuff approved recently (I know, I know - lots of Christmas stuff going in now, so that's part of the problem) and by the time they showed up, they were already on the fourth page of "newest".

shutterdrop · « **Reply #19 on:** November 07, 2008, 08:15 »

For a short time I was receiving almost 100 % approval of images. Now I receive every excuse and reason for reject.

I think if you have complain on their board you receive a survey. SS is slipping and losing ground.
