Jeffrey Isaac Greenberg Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 How many “In QC” passes to get back to auto-passed? as previously reported, recent QC fails (see below) after 100+ QC auto-passes, usually 6-7 in a row before an auto-In-QC event, as we all get…? Anyone know how many “In QC” passes one must go through before getting back to auto-pass privileges…? Is it determined by # of In-QC-passes or # of passed images? Thanks in advance.

Mr Standfast Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Geof, If you think you're due a review then email cust services. I remember Alan's submissions were much improved and he thought he was overdue an extra *, nothing happened until he contacted Alamy. They may not be resourced well enough for pro active reviews, no where else in the UK seems to be. (My guess!) 🦔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only thought about contacting CS after I was advised to by another well known contributor. I was initially given two stars which got me through QC a bit quicker. After a short period I was given three stars and QC passes come through in 24hrs. Note I only upload an average of 6 images at a time and wait till the pass comes through then load the next group. I have recently had a fail and was allowed to upload the next batch as soon as it was ready with no waiting. Allan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 (edited) If you're talking about 5* I have a feeling (but no actual proof of this) that they don't really do that any more and it's only the people that already have it that get to bypass QC most of the time. If I had to further guess I'd say that opportunity might've gone away as part of the PA acquisition. I've been a member since 2019 I think, had one fail very early on, got to 3 stars after something like 2 weeks and have since stayed there. Definitely feels like there's a glass ceiling, but then again if it weren't for people discussing it here I'd never even know there was a higher tier, as it's currently 3/3* not 3/5*. (And what happened to the 4 *?) Edited May 27 by Cal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
