MizBrown Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 16 hours ago, CandyAppleRed Images said: Assuming all existing ratings went from 3 to 5 possible stars, I would imagine they have been regraded as follows: old 1 = new 1 old 2 = new 3 old 3 = new 5 So possibly the 2's and 4's will begin to appear as things change going forwards? Not all of us Old 3's got a New 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind having 3 stars as long as I get my submissions go through the next day after the upload...

zxzoomy Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Maybe QC had a Christmas party yesterday? Merry Christmas, QC people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marianne Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I'm not worried about the 3 stars. Just looked back, since that rare QC fail last summer, I've uploaded over 200 images in 16 batches and they all went through overnight, so not concerned.

Steve Valentia Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I've now got 5 (Gold) stars and I passed QC today with 10 images in a few minutes - on a Sunday. Didn't use Reportage or News upload. Very puzzling. Merry Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Valentia Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Just got an email from Alamy saying response times from QC will be slower over Christmas. I tried an upload (1 image) and checked it, 3 minutes later. It had passed. Go figure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Allsopp Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) I have only just picked up on this so thanks for the heads up. Having checked I see two new lovely stars have appeared without my noticing and I now have 5 stars 😲. I have had no fails for over a year - some 30 submissions with almost 600 images in that time. Have Alamy decided to allow self regulation (probably with just the odd check-up) for past good conduct for those of us trying to keep a good record hence the modificationn of the star system.

They have just adjusted the QC process to be linked to some other variables.

Michael Ventura Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I was surprised to see my submission sail thru QC super fast, even during the holiday period. I uploaded last night and they had cleared this morning! Nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSaunders Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 All I can figure is that the speedy QC and five star rating for those lucky enough to have them is due to the over abundance of Christmas Eggnog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also in the Queue for my third time, Actually glad to see the random QC can happen at any time not predictable like my first 2 (since predictable = abusable)....

CAROL SAUNDERS Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Am wondering, I have a lowly 3 stars and there's no greyed out 2 stars. Assuming live news goes through straight away - confused.com😀 Just uploaded a batch hoping they will clear tomorrow anyway... Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Valentia Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 (edited) Just tried another (single) image. Passed QC in approximately 20 seconds!
