Just received another rejection from SS couple minutes ago.
Gosh, I must have lost my touch completely after these five years of submitting images here.
???? |
I'm so sorry to hear that, must just be hit and miss with reviewers-ugh! |
Thanks Katrina, compassion is appreciated. ;)
I assume so, I have been fine for months with my submissions. When something has been rejected it has been on something that I thought that might happen. Now it was just plain all of them, except for one. :\ |
You got hit by Attila, it happens from time to time, that's one miserable reviewer...she/he needs to be brought to the attention of admin. I've had entire batches (as have others) rejected across the board for LCV, it's ridiculous. |
Attila, eh? :D |

And it looks like Atilla can get away with it which surprises me from SS.
Do they realize these screwups are stealing away parts of our income (us and agency)
Some of us could make a lot more here if it wasn't for these ridiculous rejections so I'm very confused about this.
Anyway, back to work ;) |

Nobody's perfect and I'm sure that reviewers have many images to check and man factors to take in consideration. However, I try to learn from every rejection. I learn more from rejections than approvals. |

Im really about ready to stop trying to feed this beast and a beast it has become.fat and Lazy.What for? new images don't sell so why even submit.Also, I agree Theres something very wrong with the review staff or a few reviewers and it's time someone takes control of it.. I know Lot's of Very,Very good Photographers that do amazing work that have stopped uploading completely because of this.For me, Im looking at some new sites coming up that actually need our work. |
Agree 100%. I have stop submitting here. |

But what are you supposed to learn when (for example) you submit an image of a man wearing a panama hat, titled "Man wearing a panama hat" and get a rejection for "camera name must not be in title"....? |

The bottom line is, new stuff barely sells anymore, no matter how good it is (for many of us anyway), so what's the use... ride it out on our popular stuff I guess, glad I did the work early on.
Oops, I guess that's what Laurin just said, lol. ;) |

Was that not just a wrong button by accident? Or is there a camera called Panama? |

Almost right. It's the Panama Hat camera, designed specifically for use in humid climates ;-) |

So you had a photo of a man with a Panama hat and they rejected because they thought it was the camera name in the title.
You would almost start to think they are testing auto review with computers than people with all these weird rejections lately. |

I guess "panama hat" reads near enough to "panasonic" to some non-English speakers/readers :) |

Well I'm sure a rejection like my "panama hat" example is a mistake of some sort...
But if they pressed the wrong button then which button did they mean to press? What's the real rejection reason?
And if they really meant to press the button for "camera name must not be in title" then did they either skim the title too fast to read it properly or are they relying on a spell check and rejecting anything it flags? I'm sure reviewers have a high workload but you'd think it would be reasonable to expect someone to pick up a dictionary and check a word they didn't recognise?
I'd really rather that reviews took longer but were done carefully, than whizzed through fast and have me scratching my head over some weird rejections.... ;) |

Thats really strange! I have a PM showing from you on the 28th of September which I answered! I have it in my outbox! | pharm wrote: | | mandy wrote: | | ...Ageed. I just uploaded my first flower shop to FT and it was accepted. |
Hi Mandy! Do you ever check your PMs? I just noticed that I sent you one in Sept of 2010 and you've never opened it. I don't even remember what we were talking about when I sent it. LOL |
