“intellectual property issue” rejection again

 If there’s a hidden logo or trademark in there, it’s doing a better job of hiding than most fugitives.

As often, it's in plain sight… 😂

And while we’re on the topic, I’ve been getting way too many “similar content” rejections lately. So I ran a little experiment — I resubmitted a photo they’d already accepted before. Guess what? Accepted again. I deleted it afterward, but now I’m starting to think the moderation system might be using a dartboard.

We all agree that the similar rejection issue is, or at least seems to be flawed. Adobe is persuaded that the system is working as it should. My most intelligent guess is that there is some magic algorithm checking the whole database, based on very secret data, and issues a report to the moderator. 

Logos, decals, license plates, merchant signs, etc... Any & all can all trigger a strike for IP.

Submitting duplicate assets, not to be confused with "similar content," is a violation of contributor terms that could get your account blocked or terminated. Don't do that again, even as a test.

This is what Stock says about rejections for "similar content."

Not sure how this relates to similar content. Just a wild guess, but there are dozens if not hundreds of moderators and one wouldn't know if you had submitted the same image previously. The similar content issue is much more complicated an issue.
