I have been with this site since last year, in that time I have had thousands of votes taken away. My sister had votes taken away and so have four of my friends. I've called many times only to be told that there is a clitch in the system and there is nothing that can be done. I was told that they would make a note of it. On the 17th of this month I again lost 576 votes. I again called picture.com and asked for the supervisor. I was told he was out to lunch, I left a message and he never returned my call. I called on the 19th to follow up on it and was told he was out for at least a week.
I sent $100 to have my picture put in the Endless Journey Photography book, $75 for the picture and $25 for a write up. The write up was never put in. I called and was told that they didn't have a write up from me and I would recieve a check in the mail. I have yet to receive that check.
I won an ipod on one photo and was told I couldn't have it because I had already won on that particular photo, then they shouldn't have listed me as winning again, I was so excited for nothing. I was going to give that one to my son. He was so happy, then I was told I was disqualified— it was their error not mine and they should have made it right. They didn't. I just want to make people aware as to what is going on with this particular site and not to get their hopes up for nothing.
They also tell us that we have been nominated to be in the Photography Hall of Fame for a sum of money and that we have some awards coming to us also at another sum of money. Thats great to be nominated but why should we have to pay to be in it if we have been nominated to be in it. They use our photos for their book, which they get paid for when they sell them, therefore, shouldn't we get some royalties or something because they are using our photos. It doesn't make sense that we should have to pay to have our photos in THEIR book.
I still haven't been able to talk to a supervisor to rectify my problems.
