See this scat guro image that has already been approved by three separate people, including the person who started this "we need to fire some of these approvers" stuff in the first place. Apparently, even when something gets negative scores and multiple flags, it doesn't matter, so long as there's now a legion of people ready to re-approve it who don't give a damn about Danbooru never accepting scat porn or extreme guro.
That's fine that you're criticizing me, but your example isn't representative of some of the claims you're making. It doesn't have the negative score that you're implying it has and it isn't scat porn, it isn't porn. It is extreme guro though and it does depict scat, and I will not deny that, but I do not arbitrarily approve content like that without taking into consideration on if I consider it (from my perspective) drawn well and subject relevant (is it done in an anime-style, is it not a photo, etc). The rules aren't set in stone as you've frequently treated them.
My goal when it comes to approving images is if I feel the art is good I'll approve it, though I do recognize that I've felt my interpretation of good art has a lower threshold than others (perhaps worded in that I approve what I consider good art, where many others focus on great art). If that results in me losing approval rights later, well that's what will happen. I do try and judge an image by itself without trying to let the subject matter depicted impact my approval or rejection of an image, so long as the image is anime-related or at least semi-relevant (drawings of spaceships or vehicles). To encourage that I try and avoid using my blacklist altogether, so as to not avoid content, but I do have on artist on that list. Probably to my advantage I don't really hate any series, and spoilers have never bugged me. Perhaps ironically given the previous paragraph, I do get queasy looking at extreme guro and scat, and kind of have to sit out for a few minutes to let the feeling subside after going over such images.
