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

post #5928808 is a reupload of post #5392109 but sourced from twitter and it got deleted even though it is identical to the original.
What makes it even more frustrating is that someone who had the power to approve it only upvoted it, which I find happens to a lot of my uploads.

We don’t need duplicates and you should avoid uploading them. They pretty much never get approved intentionally.

The guidelines for post relationships specifically mention duplicate posts:

When TO use Post relationships
...
When identical images from different sources have been uploaded.

I personally find it useful to have sources for multiple different websites for the same post, but if it is discouraged and won't get approved then I won't waste my time.

How would this thing be uploaded to Danbooru?

As far as I'm aware this is not the thread to ask that. But to answer your question, the background and all the other images are separate so you have to put them in a collage again to make it one single image after you download them all separately. Alternatively you can use a browser plug-in or something similar to make that html page into an image, a type of screenshot in simpler terms. I would advice against doing that because it won't be approved, it has too many low quality and poorly drawn art in it.

Don't ping random approvers for feedback and don't double-post.

Well, I think the staff should put "Do not mention random high-ranking users in order to ask them for upload feedback" as the rule #3.

Good evening. More recently these days, it feels that approval ratio per day plummeted compared to few weeks ago on November. Is it actually true or it just happened to my posts that take longer time. Wish approvers would prioritize G and S-rated images first over any other sexually explicit buffoonery. Not to mention putting furry content on the bottom list of priority, because we have another imageboard for that. I would like to wonder why those posts remained unapproved. Approvals are getting slower and more inconsistent than ever. As what Danbooru stated, approvals are subjective despite having agreeable quality standards, but users do have right to criticize it.
I also have a question. We've got AIBooru for AI-generated images. But why furry content remained OK while the we already have Furrybooru? I know, I always use blacklist feature to hide images that I don't like to see.

1.) post #5934489. Lack of shading or being too focused on text? I don't understand why many well-drawn images remained unapproved due to "bad shading" despite flat color is still acceptable.
2.) The same goes to post #5901305. Just because of the "poor" shading? No one is going to mention the poorly-drawn crownless Polish coat of arms as the reason, right?
3.) Apparently Danbooru is not a big fan of realistic-looking original artworks, like post #5856739. While images like post #2474895 remained acceptable. Both are cool in their own way!
4.) post #5860850, shading factor is to blame once again?
5.) I don't understand why someone raised the rating of post #5911462 into S despite I saw nothing is suggestive here, only Miku opening her mouth. I saw nothing anatomically erroneous.
6.) post #5844220. Bad gun anatomy? I didn't think so.
7.) post #5842395. Reason: "Realistic-looking art is bad unless it is related to weeb stuff." Meanwhile this site has tons of original artworks which look realistic that has nothing to do with any series.
8.) post #5825577. We approved tons of tentacle rape images, but God forbid an image of a realistically-drawn man dual wielding handguns into approval. (also post #5827136 and post #5942128 for the similar reason)
9.) post #5825438. Bad hands?
10.) post #5824914. We've got Metal Slug pixel arts here but why can't we have this one? Despite toon (style) is acceptable.
11.) post #5829669. Is that because of badly drawn blade and coat of arms? Come on, we have tons of still life images with no humans active. While this got flagged by Username hidden for trivial reason? Ironic. Anyways, the approver of that sword image just earned my huge respect!

As has already been mentioned to you (forum #229744) whining about the subject matter of the site not suiting your tastes isn't going to get many people on your side. If you're a prude, you're very much on the wrong website.

1.) post #5934489.

To me, it's mostly her face. I'm not very familiar with girls' frontline, but that schnoz is huge compared to most other pics of that character.

2.) post #5901305

As you've already been told, yeah, the shading (on the whole picture; faces, clothes, background) fails to give any sense of depth. The shadows look airbrushed on. (The fact that you were running interference for anti-semites in the comments didn't help either.)

3.) post #5856739

While the off-topic rules have been relaxed somewhat in recent years (to my dismay), this is still pretty far from on-topic. Nobody was interested.

4.) post #5860850

Mediocre line work, and just look how lazy they got with the clouds.

5.) post #5911462 I saw nothing anatomically erroneous.

Try looking in her mouth, the literal focal point of the picture. Her upper teeth are barely more than half the width of the lower ones.

6.) post #5844220. Bad gun anatomy? I didn't think so.

You do realize that this isn't a gun fetishist website, right? Try looking at other things in the picture sometime.

7.) post #5842395. Reason: "Realistic-looking art is bad unless it is related to weeb stuff."

Literally nobody said that, but this is a weeb site first and foremost. To quote the upload rules: "Danbooru is primarily for anime-style or anime-related artwork." If you want non-weeb stuff approved, again, it has to be good, not just mediocre.

8.) post #5825577. We approved tons of tentacle rape images, but God forbid an image of a realistically-drawn man dual wielding handguns into approval. (also post #5827136 and post #5942128 for the similar reason)

Man, it's almost like one is on-topic and the other isn't.

9.) post #5825438. Bad hands?

Bad hands, bad face, bad clothes, bad photoshop... frankly, I'm surprised literally anything by that artist has been approved. It all sucks.

10.) post #5824914. We've got Metal Slug pixel arts here but why can't we have this one? Despite toon (style) is acceptable.

Just take a look at the metal_slug rating:general stuff that does get approved; there's generally quite a bit more detail. That one's not egregiously bad like some of the others, but it's still kinda boring.

11.) post #5829669. Is that because of badly drawn blade and coat of arms?

No shit, Sherlock. How are you surprised that badly drawn pictures aren't approved?

Come on, we have tons of still life images with no humans active.

It's almost like they have to be drawn well or something.

Most approvers have been around for a while and heard the same complaints several times already. You can criticize, but nobody will want to go over it again.

I also have a question. We've got AIBooru for AI-generated images. But why furry content remained OK while the we already have Furrybooru?

“Why Is [X] not getting approved while [Y] is?” is never a good reason on Danbooru. Just because some content you don’t like appealed to some approver or unrestricted uploader doesn’t mean that the content you do like appeals to someone.

Danbooru is intended to be for anime-styled art or art related to anime-styled copyrights. While there is content approved that doesn’t fit into either category, many approvers and users consider it off-topic and will flag it or simply not approve it.

For example...

8.) post #5825577. We approved tons of tentacle rape images, but God forbid an image of a realistically-drawn man dual wielding handguns into approval. (also post #5827136 and post #5942128 for the similar reason)

Yes, because this is an anime-styled image gallery and the tentacle rape images are drawn in an anime style while the realistically-drawn men wielding handguns are not.
