Pending Review

Lately I have been routinely uploading vector assets every day, but they are still in pending review since a few weeks ago, I feel strange that some assets have been rejected, but others are still in pending review, I don't mean it's strange because my assets were rejected but more like the review is just to look for rejected assets, has anyone experienced a similar incident and is this normal? I'm just worried that the assets I created for the nearest events haven't been reviewed yet

...the review is just to look for rejected assets.

==========

Adobe makes no money from rejected assets.  In fact, rejections cost them time & money. Their business depends on approved assets. 

 

Stock receives thousands of submissions per week. Assets are randomly assigned to the next available Reviewer. 

Be patient.  Review times can vary from 1-8 weeks, depending on volume & availability of Reviewers.

They're definitely not looking at assets more than once. If the asset arrives in a Moderator's queue, they review and either accept or reject.

Hi @Indra222002157u0g ,

I've had experience of assets remaining in review for more than a month.

More recent assets getting reviewed before long submitted assets.

Assets remaining in review for more than 6 months before being reviewed.

A batch of assets being reviewed whereby a few gets refused a day or more before the rest are being accepted or vice versa.

With the reviewers all things are possible.

Best wishes

Jacquelin

I strongly doubt the moderators are specifically looking for assets that they can reject. There are hundreds of them world-wide, and the assets are fed to them randomly. For a while my assets were being reviewed from the earliest submitted to the latest, but now it's back to a random order, so it might seem that assets are being hand-picked. And it would be a waste of time for the moderators to review an asset, decide it was high enough in quality to approve, but then throw it back and look for potentially rejected ones.
