Having to guess what keyword is wrong... please can you add a 'reason' note?

Question

I've been uploading to Adobe Stock for a week or two now and have lots of images accepted and some downloads, I'm really enjoying the platform overall.

However, I find the 'During our review, we found that it contains certain keyword or title errors' reason for rejection way too vague.

I am slowly learning that even a lot of the keywords SUGGESTED by the platform will end up in rejection (it will suggest both wing and wings, but I have noticed that including the same word twice but pluralised will result in rejection - ditto with American and UK spellings, e.g. watercolour and watercolor).

It would be great if the moderator could have a note section to just tell us which keyword is inappropriate - I end up having to just remove a few, resubmit and try again, because it's often not obvious at all.

The suggested keywords are often wrong, and they need to be reviewed, but it's a good start. According to the recommendation for keywords, you should not add plurals, and you should stick to one spelling (basically one language). Take a look at the handbook for information on this: https://community.adobe.com/t5/stock-contributors-discussions/new-handbook/td-p/13364215.

As it would be sometimes interesting to learn more about why an asset has been refused, moderators have little time to check each asset and refuse on the first error they encounter. Pointing out only one keyword can be as frustrating as pointing out no keyword as the culprit.
