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

I know everything is subjective, but a lot of time I always choose the most popular images from pixiv to upload and yet they don't get approved just feel like it's so random and not related to quality. Like a recent one that has 15k likes on pixiv and yet it still stays in the queue hell waiting for deletion. A lot of many deleted ones in my account already feel like that and it's demotivating.

In all honestly, likes/favorites/upvotes are not a good indicator of quality. There are plenty of posts that are downright terrible but have tons of likes/favorites/upvotes.

You need to source your posts and credit the artists. I recommend reading help:upload. Your last two posts are toon porn which will not get approved.

I also recommend looking at approver:any to get an idea of the standards we are expecting.

Thank you, i will have a read of the help before i try again.

I'm confused about why post #8342515, which is mine, and post #8224074, which is someone else's, are low quality. In particular, my appeal on that first one was responded with "Time to flag some of this artist for rewiew", but only that one other post wound up being flagged. I'm not seeing how they're different from the other approved posts by that artist? I get that most of their posts are meme-esque and have additional stylistic filters added to them, but that wasn't the case for mine.

I'm particularly asking for this one because my appeal led to someone else's unrelated post getting deleted, which I'm not entirely thrilled about being responsible for. There are a few other deleted posts by that artist, but those predate my upload. I also have some pics that were either already deleted or are on the verge of being deleted that are similar to other posts that were approved (including others that I uploaded) so I'm not sure what the standard exactly is anymore.

Thanks!

Standard? What is that. Even ones in my current queue hell I would definitely argue to be very high quality, yet they keep getting disapproval and that makes me unimpressed with how all this thing works when all things are inconsistent and approvers have no standard to tell which ones are good and which ones should actually be removed.

Am I not tagging this properly? Didn't get approved despite me using correct source link and tags

no I don't think that, it's just the quality image is rather mediocre.
