OK - I have given this system a fair amount of time to work now - and I am sorry but it is IMHO it is a big screw up ... it has reached the point where I don't even like coming to DT anymore - I have 23 comments sitting in my "box" complaining about my having flagged keywords - one person has threatened me twice saying he is going to report me etc etc ...I used to "live" on this site - now I am starting to avoid it ... this cannot be what was intended, is it? And I am a buyer here ... is this what DT wants? A buyer who avoids the site?
And here is the huge problem - I report an image for bad keywords - I then get a message back from the person flagged complaining that the keywords flagged are correct and what is wrong with me as i am flagging so indiscriminantly - and true, those keywords are correct - but those are not the keywords I was concerned about when I flagged ... so how is this working?
In fact if all I do is press the flag button, then how does the system know what keywords I am referring to?
I stand by my flags but that is hard to do when the person is not given the correct flagged keywords in the first instance and when submitters take it all so personally that you end up with so many angry comments you don't even feel like you want to come here anymore never mind buy from here. posted in Flagging policy update - flag comments
Look too at the editors picks and you will see quite a few of them are not standard isolated on white stock but are simply beautiful shots - period. In fact that might be what you should try and aim for - instead of worrying (too much anyway) about your rejections, see if you can upload images that get chosen as the editor's choice ... best of luck to you. posted in To upload or not to upload, that is the question
