Uploads that are 8 months old still in review, most other uploads get reviewed in a few days

I have uploads from last autumn that still haven't been reviewed--back to November. I deleted a couple of them, then resubmitted. And those photos remain in review limbo. Advice?

Correct answer Abambo

Delete them. Or wait until they get moderated. This is a known issue. Some assets stay stuck in the moderation queue.

Delete them, then resubmit them. That's all!

Thanks, but I did delete a couple, and then uploaded again. I even tinkered with the keywords too. Then the get "stuck" again.

There is nothing more that you can do. Some contributors even changed the image slightly, like a different cropping, or a slightly modified exposure. Just to change the bits.

It's not just that your submission has been forgotten; it's also possible that the review has been halted due to a violation of Adobe Stock's rules.
Please withdraw your application and check again to see if it violates any rules.

In that case, the assets would earn a refusal.

Thanks for your input. However,  most of these "forgotten" photos are nature shots with no people and not identifiiable property.

Are you saying the ones you deleted and resubmitted are in limbo?

 

I think some assets get lost.  When there's no movement for 3 months, delete, rename and resubmit.
