Read this before asking why you can't see explicit images: How to get a privileged account

Ok, thanks. I'm going to do my best.
I'll try to use md5sums, maybe I can add some great pictures. My standards are quite restrictive, so maybe that's why I can't upload anything ;P
However, now I'll go back to my work.

- posts new images I like
- posts images that are nicely tagged AND sourced (very important)
- finds new artists, updating the database

Aside from my first invite which was for a friend, these are the same rules I stick to. And like gsimon, I haven't found anyone doing all three (that wasn't already invited).

I don't do it, because it just gets annoying for me. I only tend to add that kind of tag when I'm really short on more specific tags. So basically, only if I don't have a choice, because I have to add *something*.

But some people make a habit of going through and adding hair and eye color to every post. Good for them, I guess, and I certainly won't reverse it. It's just not something I personally do (and it isn't required).

Isn't expecting source a bit much? I have a good 10gb of images and almost none of them were hosted on websites.

Well I don't have any invites currently, so it's not like I'm sitting on them or anything. But ideally I'd like a source, and if no source I want an artist tag or something. When I see something I like the FIRST thing I think is "who did it?"

It's always ideal but anyone uploading from existing saved images is really unlikely to have it.

So I prefer it, and having it might give an invite likelihood a boost, but not having it won't really hurt your chances/

You need a privileged account to see unsafe posts.

You get a privileged account by being invited.

You get invited by uploading good posts, contributing to the wiki, helping others in the forum, and helping with translation efforts.

Asking for an invite, especially on the forum, is in poor taste. If you believe you deserve one, come to IRC (#danbooru at mint.sayuri.ca) and make your case.

Is this whole system elitist? Yes, it is. Why does it exist? To limit bandwidth usage, and to provide an incentive for users to contribute to the site.

*sry for my bad english, im german*
Is there a Way to become a "privileged" Member by contributing some Money?
I would contribute via Paypal.
i dont upload Pics, and i dont want to spent my Time on adding Tags n' this stuff, 'have better Things to do.
i just want some nice Pics for my Collection.
+ i wouldnt invite anyone if the Admin doesnt want me to.
How about 10€ (about 15 US Dollar)?
Im not like "downloading Pics the whole day, and making big Traffic".. i just love the way this site works for me, with pic-previews, Tags n' Stuff.
it's like a gigantic, sorted folder, without ad's.
i cant get mIRC to run... that's why i didnt asked there..
if u read this albert (or whoever the admin is) it would be nice if u could send me an Answer.

cia :-)

I don't think invites are for sale. Granted, albert is the one paying the bills and if he ever decides to sell invites, I'm in no position to criticize him, but as of right now I really doubt you'll get an invite this way.

I'm sorry..
Like i said, i have better Things to do than just tagging Images & helping ppl to find Artistnames and Stuff.. just to get Access to some nude Pics.
I can get Pics from everywhere on the net, but this Site is as simple as great.
It's not like "OMGFG.. I N33D PICS... MORE PICS.. MORE MOAR.. I'm fcukin' hentaipiccollecting ret4rd"
I'm more like the Guy who's donating some Money to keep this Site alive, and receive some "benefits".
I'm not a leeching Whore, im Donator on some ALT-Trackers too.
AFAIAC i think donating money is a good option for ppl who arent soo into all that piccollecting-stuff

- posting good images
(sure.. when i find something that's not allready posted on danbooru.. like i would waste hours in searching for doubleposts..duh)

- adding useful tags
(im not soooooo into that stuff)

- reporting incorrect ratings
(no problem, when im in the right mood)

- identifying artists and adding entries to the artist db
(i maybe know 2-3 artists.. im not so into it)

- identifying sources
(yeah... like im registered on all hentaiboards in the net to get my information..duh)

- tracking down other useful information
(like what underwear did the artist wear when he drew the t*ts of a girl??)

- filling in the wiki (really.. i have no clue about all that.. but "your day may come" )

- making interesting comments (sure that :-))

- translating (konbanwa - that's all i know)

Maybe it's just me, but I find this incredibly analogous to a scenario with "bribing a teacher for an 'A' in the class while others study for theirs" type of thing.

If it is truly a donation you are offering, you shouldn't expect anything in return... right?

I've thought about asking for a donation button (for ACTUAL donations, not bribes, of course... :D), but it does have huge drawbacks in my experience. If you run a site on donations, then it's a very small step to come to rely on them, and then when you have a slow donation month you either run yourself into huge bills or you have to more or less hold the site "hostage" until your users donate enough money to keep it going.

Not that I think albert would do that, but that's just been my experience with websites that run (even partially) on donations.

But anyway Jonin, can't you already access the explicit content as of the latest change? I'm really not sure what you're talking about here. Is this just about the loli content?

Sounds like a case of the Sagubooru.

lordkefka - im not trying to bribe, but i cant deny that it may looks like it.
i'm just a busy person, who doesnt has the nerv to beg for an invite, or wasting time with stuff he actually is useless at.
btw. since i cant get mIRC to run, im not even able to meet ppl of this forum..

surashu - no it's not about loli pics, i dont really need that.

jxh - i dont get what ur point is.

ririka - yeah..sagu.. wonder when this site will "come back".. like in 10 years or so..

nvm ppl, guess a guy like me is not welcome here.

He's not taking anything out of context. Basically you're saying that people who do that are stupid.
And by the way, "donations are gifts given without return consideration"...
