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

Posted under General

post #5966066 was uploaded a while ago but not approved. I only found out because I saw that post #5966065 had 2 images in it's source tweet, but I couldn't find the second image when searching the artist's tag. my first thought was that it simply wasn't uploaded, so I tried to upload it myself. It was only then that I found post #5966066 .
I found it strange that post #5966066 wasn't approved, considering post #5966065 was approved. I'm wondering if approvers think that it is too low-quality and really don't believe it should be on the site, or if they think that it is a lower quality/cropped version of a different image. Because if the reason is the latter, I can understand the mistake, but the image in post #5966066 isn't a cropped version. Not only is that version of the image directly from the artist, but the artist also posted the same version to different sites:
Deviantart
Pixiv
Hentai Foundry
Tumblr
All have the same dimensions.
I just want to be sure that the reason for unapproval Genuinely is that it isn't percieved as high-enough quality. Because if that is the reason, I disagree, but understand that position.

Sorry, we should not insult other users as a retaliation of dissatisfaction with post deletions. Despite somehow I felt the disappointment when approvers tend to approve in a more objective way. For instance, those who tend to approve NSFW artworks, ones from more famous copyrights compared to completely safe ones from less-known series. Somehow I wish more approvers would use less subjective measures and not being influenced by sex appeal. I don't want Danbooru to be become another Rule 34 or Fur Affinity.

Back to the topic, I am wondering why would these posts not getting approved. And I would like more reconsideration.

I feel very thankful for any kind of feedback from any respected site staffs here.

The total number of pornographic images on this site is not a small number,“ Danbooru be become another Rule 34”this question is really boring.And pornographic images can also contain wonderful bodies and excellent coloring

I would say the other one is definitely better. But it doesn't matter, because comparing two images won't help your case. Rather try to point out why your image should be approved, without comparing it to other images.

well, it's of good quality given its limitations of a lack of background, color and other characters, it's high-res, a good source, what can be seen within the image blends well together, and it's perfect as desktop wallpaper, I'd say it's an all-around good piece of art.

I'm just gonna be frank, that image is not good quality. It's just okay. I'm not sure what "a good source" means, the only real relevancy of the source is that it's first-party, which has nothing to do with the image's quality. The image itself is largely a mess of sketch lines colored in. It lacks detail, lacks refinement, the face is the only part of the entire piece that actually looks finished, everything else looks like something someone doodled in their spare time. It would stand a much better chance if the whole thing looked like the face.

some approvers take the source into account when deciding whether or not to approve a post.

which is just like a large minority of every other monochrome-greyscale-solo-post with a blank background. what you've given is not a criticism, it's a description of exactly the fundamental points of what makes up a sketch, and whether there is a lack of detail & refinement or not is simply subjective.

personally, I feel the lack of attention to detail compared to the face is exactly what benefits the overall piece, it's a piece that's meant to bring attention to the face because this character's face is normally hidden, the lack of detail brings more attention to the face, which is why I find the overall piece enticing.

posted post #6054710 of azazel_(helltaker) a few days ago and it didn't get approved. i appealed it but the appeal process doesn't show much promise either.
the post is simple, yes, but that's part of what makes it appealing in my opinion. it's clean and clear. to me the quality seems perfectly in line with other danbooru posts, and arguably better than some approved posts of the same character (e.g. post #5083439, post #4682454, post #5839665).

the main reason i can think of is that it's the only post on the platform from that artist (artist #338566), and that many of his other works on pixiv might not be up to par, but realistically that shouldn't hinder the perception of his actually good works.

i started posting on danbooru only recently, and would like to know why this post is deemed "not good enough". do approvers consider the artist's posts/post count before approving?

No, the artist or post count of an artist is not important to us. We only check, if some "new" artist maybe only stole/edited others artworks or if they're only creating AI. We mainly only care about the quality of an image. We also don't compare images while approving. So pointing out that your image is (in your opinion) "maybe" better, won't help your case.

IMO the image is just to simple, like you said yourself.

I can't speak for the others, but for me, it was the body proportions- I didn't know that her canonical appearance was like that before now but I still feel like the head is too small and in the wrong place. I'm a bit picky, though.
