Upload Feedback Thread - post here if your uploads keep getting deleted

Posted under General

You guys should convey that the approval process involves meeting the arbitrary, undisclosed criteria of a bunch of random elitists who spend 6 hours a day looking at porn. Here I thought that so long as I tagged the my uploads appropriately, only uploaded high quality art, and otherwise adhered to the rules that I'd be fine. Little did I know that I also have to make sure my uploads tickle enough random dudes' fancy or it'll get rejected on the very valid basis of "sorry just didn't like the pic lol." What an absolutely moronic practice.

We do, via help:upload. Danbooru is and has always been a curated art repository. Also, there are some approvers that don't approve or upload is:nsfw posts at all and some even blacklist it, so even if you're being inflammatory out of personal indignation, it is just wrong to say they all look at porn, lol.

Tagging has no bearing on the approval of an image, it's up to if approvers like it enough or not and if the images don't have any glaring issues. The posts you put up are... not really that good, any of them. Quality is subjective, and the same way you personally deem them high quality, they personally deem them low quality and thus they aren't approved. So yes, you'll be fine as long as you follow the rules and upload good art, but you haven't done the latter, and you're starting to veer off the former.

Quality takes time to get an eye for. You can check out which posts do get approved and go from there. Even I had the same complaints early on, and even pretty recently, about what I thought was quality not going through. A lot of my first uploads were deleted and I maintained 20 slots for a very long time without ever getting more due to getting a lot of deletions. Though over time, I worked on my quality issues.

I have a lot of old forum posts complaining about the modqueue/approval process, and I've made 4 public favgroups broken up into 2-month periods as a personal "study" of what was considered low quality and built up an eye to avoid similar issues in such posts going forward. If your posts aren't getting approved, you should try looking for something different. The content you have just doesn't jive with approvers, and it probably wouldn't jive with the userbase either (i.e. it would get flagged).

Excuse me, I spend at least 8-10 hours every day, I will not stand for such slander that attempts to put me amongst the common gooner.

It’s more so because half the time, barely any approvers look at posts.

So it's not deleted yet. If only the first half of the 3 days mattered, we'd just shorten it to 1.5 days.

Hi, any feedback on why these posts weren't approved? Please give a second chance.
post #6337700
post #6300640

First one is fine, I've approved it, second one is kind of simplistic in it's shading etc.

post #8419850

This wasnt approved despite its parents being approved and this art is simpy an art assrt from its parents in full size. So whats the issue? I appealed it. I get approvers dont like sexy stuff but the inconsistencies with some of these things i dont get.

Thanks

Would appreciate feedback on these, as other works of this artist has gotten approved pretty fast :

I've tried to appeal #8700256 time ago, this is what one of the approvers told me:
"BG is rather amateurish, it looks like it's from a 2007 newgrounds cartoon, and the second girl looks weird the way she's sitting."

Isn't the purpose of this site to archive (hq) art? Tagging is the main emphasis of the site, even stated by the rules (and you'll never know who would search up that obscure tag only to not get results since most images I see barely have more than the minimum amount)

Tagging is highly important, but it's no factor for approving. An image can be 10/10 with only 10 gentags and it's still more approvable than an Upload with 60 gentags but shit quality.
The modqueue doesnt even show the amount of tags an image has.

I'd guess adding the copyright, artist, and char tags specifically prob make an impact though. If I were an approver which i very much do not want to be thank you very much I would probably filter the modqueue by fandoms/charas I like to help sift through the posts for stuff I know I'm more likely to like (or hate).
