A majority of this contributors images are clearly made with image trace and being billed as, “Architectural Floor Plan Symbols and Furniture Icons Vector Set for Interior Design, Blueprint Drafting & Real Estate Marketing.”

    If they are unsuitable for your purposes, then don’t license them.

    Not sure if I understand the issue. 

    AFAIK, image trace is not expressly prohibited. See below.

    Is this a complaint about the content or the contributor? 

    What are you seeking from Adobe Stock?

    This specific series of architectural icons from the contributor "Muhammad" provides definitive proof of systematic quality violations.

    The titles in this series confirm the focus on CAD blueprint engineering symbols, architectural drawing elements, and furniture icons. This highly technical niche makes the unedited, auto-traced AI defects (like the text distortion and messy geometries in my sample) completely unusable for professionals.

    Adobe Stock has strict rules against account spamming. Submitting bulk, low-effort files that provide no commercial value or bypass manual quality checks
