I see, so your point wasn't so much to get the deleted image re-approved, but rather asking why the other examples were approved when yours wasn't. I probably derailed things myself then, because I was working under a different understanding of what you wanted.
As for your examples, I wouldn't have approved of any of them personally, and would be happy if others didn't upload or approve similar images. I actually flagged post #632889 since you brought it to my attention.
As for asanagi, he does have some good art, but I really dislike his huge breasted pics. To me, it makes the character look like they've had their middle third removed, and their torso spliced back together. I won't go on a mass flagging spree there though, because it's sort of dickish to mass flag something someone likely supports (though maybe in this case it's mostly contributors and not mod staff).
I actually did do that once with hugely disproportionate futanari shortly after they were made to be ToS violations and ended up catching some flack for it. If someone did flag all those example pics though, I wouldn't be upset, and certainly wouldn't reapprove them.
As for the system as a whole, I'm sure if you had a good way to make it more fair and still maintain at least the same degree of quality assurance (which is necessarily subjective), we'd be open to hearing it.
Honestly though, the moderation system here is actually more fair now than it has ever been. Initially the mod staff had no mechanism except to straight-out delete posts they disagreed with.
From there we introduced the mod queue and the idea that to be deleted, everyone on the mod staff had to passively disagree with a post before it would be discarded.
After that we implanted the flagging system that allows anyone (even outside the mod staff) to throw a pic they disagree with back into the queue for reconsideration. And on the other side of that system, we have the deletion appeal thread for those that disagree with the deletions to let things get overturned.

Calm down. I agree with almost everything you've said in this thread, but you are taking things to the extreme. Gauging from a sample of Eleven's posts, his eye for quality is actually better than a lot of contributors.
Back in the day, I was rightly threatened with being demoted from contributor one time when I unloaded a crapton of mediocre-to-poor Ghibli hentai (which I still regret doing, though I'll still maintain that a few of them were worthwhile).
Anyway I was able to talk my way out of it somehow (in fact looking back at it, you defended me way back then). I'd like to think my quality threshold has improved a lot since that incident.
A lot of things have changed since back then, both as far as we and the site go (reading some of my posts from that thread, it's almost comical how different my opinions are today), but I still think it's it's fair to give someone a second chance.
So Eleven has posted a few bad pics, he should be able to take this as an opportunity re-tune his opinion of what is acceptable to post in the future. He doesn't deserve demotion.
EDIT: Wow, I'm not really sure exactly why I brought it up because I really don't like discussing that incident, but if you read that whole thread, It's almost a bizarro mirror-world replica of this one, where almost all the prevailing opinions have changed (Hazuki is pretty consistent though).
