Nobody is at work approving things again I guess

Even though Christmas has passed, it's still the holiday season. I imagine it'll be slow in January too since most things are slower in January

Any reason why?

I am completely done with such vague excuses, gimme an actual explanation.

Disinterest, bias, you name it. I am not uploading anymore. That. Is. It.

Update:

OK, forget this comment. But still.

My guess would be low quality, and/or mixing in the textures for the cookies, which look out of place with the rest of the art style. Scroll up to my post and you'll see that they won't approve even images with far higher art quality.

Sadly, that's probably the best explanation you will get, as there seems to be very limited feedback from the approvers themselves here.

Ok, I hope someone at least answers me this time.
What is the reason why the following posts were removed, they do not break any rules, and they are of good quality:
post #8305717
post #8305740
post #8503041
post #8556706
post #8585677

They weren't 'removed', they failed to be approved in the 3-day window during which posts from restricted users' posts are 'pending'. As a restricted user, it's not enough for your posts to not break any rules, they have to be high enough quality to attract the attention of an approver.

If you look at the last post you listed, you will see that 11 approvers looked at the image while it was pending and declined to approve it. That's actually better than many, as only 6 approvers looked at two of the posts I was asking about here. Feel free to look at mine to see some other examples of posts that failed to get approved, but at the end of the day, it is 100% subjective on the part of the approvers. The best you can do is upload the highest quality images you can find and hope for the best, while far worse slop gets approved for inscrutable reasons.

Low quality? The cookies are supposed to look like that, they're burnt. There's no way around it.

Also, it's already approved. Just ignore my comment. I only typed this in before it suddenly got the seal of approval. And I was in a bit of a depressive state, at that time.

I don't understand how this wasn't approved.

All illustrations by this artist are approved, it's highres, it's well tagged and has a decent score.

I think this should have another chance.

Only 21 out of the 137 active posts under this artist actually went through the queue. The rest were uploaded by contributors, who are allowed to skip the queue.

Also, the score and number of tags has no relevance to whether or not a post gets approved. Highres posts might have a higher chance, but it's not enough on its own, nor is it a requirement. Lower-resolution posts can be good quality, too.

Any input into why this were deleted would be great help

post #8624623 - I don't see anything wrong with this. You could argue the stomach maybe? Certainly not bad quality. Not that anyone used that for a reason just the normal "disinterest" .-.
post #8621154 - multiple works by me or others uploaded after this from the same artist that were approved but this one wasn't. I don't really see any issue comparing them. Could I please get something other than "disinterest"?
post #8621135 - Same as previous (same artist)
post #8611420 - Sure it might just be slightly lower quality than some of the artists other uploaded art but I don't believe it being a sketch should deny it being approved.
