There are people who claim to have over had over 500 images accepted to PPG. Maybe they aren't being honest, but a 5 images a week that's 5 images a week every week for over 2 years.
Its more of a quantity over quality website.
I have 413 approved photos in the gallery from spring 2012 until now. I have at least 2 photos in each of the 16 different categories you can upload. The first months I concentrated of having all categories covered before I started to upload images from my most used motives. So from september 2012 I have uploaded 5 photos every week. Sometimes all five where approved, some times all five where declined. At the worst I had 45 photos pending, at the moment only 30. I complained to the gallery that somebody obviously was cheating, since they had more than 5 in a row accepted. Wich is impossible. The answer I got was that the photographer had 75 photos pending. At that moment I myself had 45. He of course couldn't have more than me, so I wrote back and complained. I got no answer. One can of course discuss weather it is quantity over quality, but IMHO it is not so that every photo is approved.
The featured artists was picked among ordinary photograpers, but the latest Allen Birnbach was set there by the administrators. No one could have voted on all the pictures from the new K3 so soon after it was relased, and besides in "Recently added" at that time, he had all the pictures lined up, without any other in between, and it was more than 5. I also wrote to the gally and said that I understood, the advertaising point, but they could have camoflaged it a little bit better.
I can't upload again before Sunday, so I know nothing about problems that the system don't recoknize K3, ot other cameraes.
