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

Yes, they do. post #7476261 has a lopsided face, completely equal line thickness, and uneven lineart. post #7476313 has similar especially with the mouth and eyes being totally out of place, the perspective being done badly, and the shading especially on the arms and stomach looking really unnatural.

My point here is not that these artists are bad or you shouldn't upload them - just that you shouldn't necessarily expect them to be approved. Deleted posts can still be seen by everyone, they're just filtered out of searches by default. You can also go into your account settings and enable "Show deleted posts" if you want to ignore the system entirely.

I guess I still need to figure out how quality works here, especially if the last post in that list is still considered higher quality than the one I posted on. Thanks for the feedback though I guess and for helping point out exactly why it's not good quality. I also did not know about the setting allowing deleted posts to be seen. Still not the best status to have because of the hits to upload count but I understand.

Maybe will try diversifying my uploads and gunning for Contributor. Thumbs up.

Ergo my confusion. I've been told to search before about what kinds of posts get approved, and did, and used that as a basis of reference, and still get rejected.

The thing is, you have to search for the right posts when looking for references. Status:active is not equivalent to infallible, that's why we have a flagging system. While I probably wouldn't flag any of those examples, I don't think they're the best images to train your eye for art on. Good taste is not something that can be taught, it's something that arises from experience with uploading and browsing digital art because your taste is very much unique to you. I would recommend browsing the uploads of Contributors with very few deletions (around or less than 15 is my idea of low, but there are many great users with some more) and formulating an art preference based on that, but make sure you aren't just copying other users or trends because NNT does consider that when promoting.

Feel like getting Contributor is probably a reasonable goal so I don't have to deal with the subjectivity? Question mark. Sorry, still new to all this.

Your deletion ratio is a little high for the earliest possible promotion, though there are no objective must-have guidelines for that. I think you can do it, if you're a little more careful in the future.

Will keep this in mind on my journey. Working on appealing a few of my posts after discovering I was able to do it myself. Appreciate the pointers and sorry for the misuse of the upload feedback thread.

The artist has drawn many plump bodies, but this one seems to have failed.

post #7306663
This is the situation again. When the Twitter version was uploaded, no one approved it. It was not until the pixiv version was uploaded much later that it was quickly approved.

I just feel like they're not bad

Can any moderator tell me why this post #7482122 was deleted? It is correctly tagged, grouped, the art is high quality, The artist already has other approved works, the animation is fluid and its static version had already been approved. Thanks in advance.
Edit: Thanks for reviewing it again.

Don't know how this was not accepted when this is a different variant from post #7478514
post #7481862

Removed: approved.

not bad at all for being deleted

Hi, just wondering why these posts got deleted, they all seem to me to be pretty consistent with the quality of the artists other work, though I do understand that not everyone likes feet.

I have a doubt, some time ago I uploaded these two images post #7421086 post #7421092, when I was putting the tags I did not get the message that they were duplicates or some other similar message, after 3 days they were rejected because they did not like them or they did not pass the filters but I also realized that someone had uploaded the same photos post #7422561 post #7422559 but those were approved so my question here is why that person's were accepted and mine were not if they are exactly the same or if it was some bug that did not allow me to see that they had already uploaded the same images.

Any real reason these two weren't approved? To me it just sounds like a case of franchise bias and being a niche fetish.

It got positive reception on two other well known image boards, Gelbooru and R34.xxx, both approved the images too. It also got some favorites in this site too.

The standards of other sites don't matter regarding approvability, especially since Danbooru is known to have higher standards. Same applies to upvotes/favourites.

Still doesn't explain why an image with positive reception from Danbooru users doesn't matter. Also doesn't explain why it wasn't approved.

Again, I'm thinking franchise bias and niche fetish. As you can see plainly the art quality is good and it's not low res. Give me a good reason why it's not approvable here.

The post was now tagged "poor quality" with no explanation. The post isn't poor quality, I really do believe it's a matter of "not the reviewer's fetish".

It's clear to me that the issues impacting Danbooru are not willing to be resolved, same as E621.

No worries, I can simply let you guys remove the content and submit takedowns of anything I commission or create from this point forward. After all, it's all "low quality".

Approving aside, you don't actually own the right to any drawing you commission unless the artist explicitly relinquishes them to you, so if you submit DMCAs as the commissioner they will be ignored by pretty much everyone.

Reason for removal?

I didn't say DMCA, I said removal request. Also it comes as obvious that I'd need the rights relinquished to me. All of this really sounds like E621 all over again.

They're the same thing. To request a removal, you need to submit a DCMA.
