@shadow216: I'm sorry, but attaching model releases and anything related to the uploading process is not something i'm familar with. I'd suggest going onto the Crestock forum, and posting the question there. Thousands of those guys have done it before, so there must be someone who can help.
@Talya: Out of interest, I had a look at your recent rejections and I need to have a second look through these because I think a couple of mistakes have been made. I can't respond to every complaint on every forum, and, for the sake of my mental well-being I won't try. However, in regards to your bestselling images being rejected (in this case I believe it, as i saw a couple that could really sell), although, in general, I hear this very often. Crestock, though admittedly not always getting it right, has emphasised the inspection process as an essential cornerstone in building a quality collection, from the start. I've had personal insight into the inspection process on other sites (Dreamstime, SS, SnapVillage) and I know in some of those cases there is, at times, very little inspection going on at all. I was really surprised by this, that there was so little method to their inspections. We're aiming to have a community-based team of inspectors that follows very easy-to-follow standards. These same standards will also be provided to the photographers, there is a need for this type of clarity in the process.
At the moment, growth is so fast, and images are coming in that, its a job for 10 people just to monitor and control the inspections. We're not 10, more like 3 on this, and we are going to miss some from time to time, while inspectors are getting the feel for things.
Finally, when thinking about standards, not so much technical, but more creative and conceptual standards... We can't be following other sites. We can't even think so much about them. It seems to me personally, that most of the other sites are on their way down. Its important that we focus on what will sell on Crestock, considering our market, and to satisfy the needs of customers, by providing quality images that they will purchase. Most importantly though, this isn't an excuse to reject images, good stock will be good stock, and unless we're making it ourselves, we rely on input from contributors.
In the near future, Crestock will have very clear standards, which both inspectors and photographers will read from.
Please direct unfair inspections to myself, or to
helpdesk@crestock.com Unfortunalely, I don't have time to respond to every complaint from forum postings. Thanks!
