Why were contibutors deprived of adobe stock feedbacks to troobleshouting?

There are no creatures, moderators are humans. You are supposed to submit perfect pictures. Moderation is done to protect customers, not to make contributors better photographers.

If a bot or "program code" were analyzing contributor submissions, I suspect we'd see a lot more rejections than some people are seeing now...and a lot more acceptances that we would never want to see. The bot would be programmed to accept or reject submissions based on a set of photographic rules with respect to ideal focusing criteria, compositonal rules, exposure, etc., and such rules are made to be adhered to...or broken...as called for by the subject matter. Not to mention any emotional factors when it comes to judging art of any kind. Yeah, sometimes we might get a human who ordinarily does a great job at moderation but he or she is having an issue with Jane in HR and having a bad day in general and it gets taken out on us. 🙂 Just kidding...kind of...but I suspect the moderators take pride in the job they do and the responsibilities that come with it.

Also, given the limitations we have when it comes to selecting from a limited number of catagories when it comes to assigning just one of those categories to our images, moderators have a limited number of reasons for rejecting a given image, even when there may be multiple reasons. Or even one particular reason not necessarily listed and only the closet one can be selected.

It's assumed Stock Contributors are experienced enough to spot their own mistakes.  Reviewers are human.  But they must evaluate thousands of assets each week.  They do not have time to give personal feedback about every rejection.  They never have and never will.  That's not their job. 

If you would like feedback from this user-to-user community, please post 1-2 of your rejected images along with the rejection reason Stock gave you.

• Technical quality, 
• Non-compliance,
• Property issue,
• Aesthetic/commercial appeal,
• Similar content already submitted,
• etc...

Moderators are human beings who are hired to review assets quickly and either accept or reject. They are not given the opportunity to provide extensive or detailed feedback to Contributors. We, as Contributors, are expected to be able to analyze our own images carefully and edit out any flaws before submission. There is no avenue for you to dispute the findings of a Moderator. Adobe Stock has provided this forum, supported by volunteer successful Stock Contributors, for you to receive further, detailed feedback on your rejected images if you so desire. If you would like to upload 2 or 3 images, we can provide that feedback.

Our information is that humans review the submissions. They do make mistakes and they may have a different opinion. There review cannot be discussed. As an alternative, you have this forum. Several of the members have a lot of expierience and can give you support. Additionaly, some members are under contract from Adobe and maybe can give you more details.

I don't understand what you mean. Submitted work is (so far as we know) reviewed by humans. They are very busy, and to reject it, they press one button, perhaps quality issues, perhaps unsuitable for stock, perhaps IP violation. That's the deal. They cannot be contacted to explain faults in photographs, submittors are expected to be experienced commercial photographers who can find their own faults. Stock Contributor support exists, but mainly for account-related issues, they won't get into a dialogue about submissions. That would take time, and increase costs, and that's not the deal. Far better to lose some great work than spend thousands of hours discussing everyone's issues.
