Audited rejected videos after a year and a half of being on line for sale

Hello,

Just curious as to why a few videos of mine that were accepted, and on Adobe for over a year and a half for sale, one of which has sold twice, now for some reason, has been deemed to be too gory, when you currently have over 12,000 videos equally gory, or even more gorier.

Some screenshots of my videos attached.

 

Cheers!

I supposed Adobe Stock knows who their audience is and what they buy. 

This is what you're competing with.

Just checked your attachments. It does not look like your assets are that bloodthirsty and shocking, but it may well be that Adobe thinks otherwise. It is not as with quality issues, where there are good arguments for deleting the asset, but it's more a soft refusal. We can't comment on Adobe's policy in that matter.

BTW: your attachments have “Virus scan in progress…”. I think this is a forum error.

Indeed, it's a widespread system problem. I reported the Bug on Friday the 13th. But being that this is the weekend, it probably won't receive attention until Monday or Tuesday. There's also a problem with the log-in servers which has also been reported. 

 

In the meantime, use this forum's embed feature to insert photos into posts.

 

Thanks for your patience.

Virus scan is completed: 

It's like upvoting. Every so often it does not work…

    Did Adobe say they were too gory or is that just your assumption? You can see the removal reason on the "not accepted" tab, and it's usually much more generic that "too gory"....

    Hi Jill, thanks for replying.

     
    Below, next paragraph, from Adobe for one of my videos; the other videos had a shorter message, saying they couldn’t process the files, and to get in contact with Adobe:

    Knife plus blood splatter video: 
    “This content has been removed for violating Adobe Stock’s content submission guidelines. We have determined that this content is incompatible with the Stock Contributor Terms on the basis of an internal audit. For more information on this policy, why this content was found to be incompatible with the Terms, and your appeals options, please see the Content submission guidelines."
     
    It’s a bit hard to know exactly what I’m violating if there is no direct area being pointed out to me ( apart from the “incompatible” bit mentioned, but no real difference from what I’ve seen from other Contributors videos ), thus leaving me clueless and having to assume something. So I thought it might be “Gore” after reading the Guidelines.
    And if there was a problem, why did it take 1 and 1/2 years and 2 sales later to remove it? Shouldn’t it have been rejected right from the start?
     
    Sorry, but it’s just a bit confusing; particularly, when Adobe and i have already made money from this video clip.
     
    Anyway, Cheers again!

    Adobe has been conducting audits on their existing assets and indeed millions have been removed from the database over the last several months, irrespective of whether they've ever sold before. In some cases, they never should have been approved, and in other cases, they have actually modified their guidelines over the years.

    We are not Adobe but contributors like yourself and we can not be of assistance as to why your asset was removed.
