Is being a submitter and reviewer at the same time an interest conflict?

Some on a smaller site like LO, on a day I dedicate to reviewing, I do easily 1000+ images, no time to "steal", also don't forget their is always some form of supervision of the reviewer! SY

Yep... always somebody that looks over the shoulder...
I had a series of stupid rejections at IS in the early part of the year... complained after about 3 months of about 3% acceptance ratio, and all of a sudden jumped to a 80 or 90% acceptance (on the following batches that is). Also no response from my query...
Either way... I met an Istock Reviewer on our travels and asked him whether they do not get frustrated seeing so many files on a day (maybe a little bit of Self doubtabout your own quality?) and he said that no, that is where he gets his shooting ideas from... Which I though is a bit lame...
... but again... like so many times mentioned before, I think you get good reviewers that are honourable and trustworthy, and you get a few bad apples... like any other industry.
I know of at least two reviewers that stopped reviewing because they said the review process influenced their own work, and they did not feel comfortable about it...
Susan:
Really people are people and you have a few bad apples in any area. I think that it is unfortunate that people borrow others ideas in any arena. And I agree with Sean... using reviewing to build your shot list is a bit lame.
However I do think looking at many excellent, good and bad images can help a photographer develop a eye for good composition, lighting etc. And you do not have to be a reviewer to look at a good many images.
I have had images rejected that should not have been... however I have not complained. Maybe it is something I should be more proactive about. I had a spell at one site, where I was wondering what I had done to offend someone... seems to have resolved lately.

I think the depends on the reveiwer. You go through so many images, and for me, If I see a neat idea I forget it by the time I am done reviewing!
If anything I am way more selective with what I submit.

That is my current problem at the moment! If you are fortunate enough to see the images of world class photographers at 100% you can get quite depressed about the fact how less perfect your own images are! SY
