Hello,

I'm wondering if everyone is again having slow moderation times or if it's just my account?

For a brief time, my images were being moderated so quickly I couldn't even keep up., but for the last month  or so, it has slowed down to a crawl again and my images are building up. Any insight would be appreciated, thank you 😃

I've had a slight slowdown in the last week or so; for quite a while, almost all assets were reviewed overnight. Now it's more like 2-3 days.

Adobe Stock receives thousands of submissions per week.  Some weeks more than others depending on the season.

 

Stock has a limited number of available reviewers on hand. Occaisionally reviewers take time off or get reassigned to perform other tasks. Not much anyone here can do about it.  Is it what it is.

I learned long ago that trying to outguess Adobe in terms of how long it will take for your assets to be reviewed is rather futile.  No one in this group has any inside information about how the moderation process is structured.  All we know is that rather magically, Adobe manages to review large quantities of assets and a simple "back of the envelope" calculation leads us to believe moderation decisions are made in seconds rather than minutes.  Recently, I was getting acceptance of my photographs in a few hours after submission; but I haven't submitted anything in a few weeks, so the expected delays may have changed.  As was said many times on this board: be patient - one way or another, your assets will be reviewed, and may you be pleased with the results.

Agreed., though I think you meant to reply to the original poster.

Sorry, there is no insight. Moderation is what it is. Other contributors can only tell you what happens with their assets.

 

My assets get moderated without a considerable delay, but I'm slow in contributing. 😉

It's confusing me why I went from daily, multiple image moderation to waiting many days in between having only one image looked at. It seems odd to have such a drastic change. Are there different types of moderators for different tasks? 🤔 🤔   I hate to ask, but could it have anything to do with someone who dislikes me? 👎

Since some Adobe employees are also contributors, it would be my guess, in the interest of avoiding favoritism, that the moderators have no idea whose images they are reviewing.

I still have images reviewed daily, sometimes two or three times a day, but only one or two here, half a dozen there. It's no longer like before where I could expect a dozen or more images to be reviewed daily.
