Wow. Just wow. Does Danbooru just look for the biggest a holes they can find to be moderators? Holy crap. I've never seen so many toxic, rude, belligerent, arrogant, self important mods in 1 place. Could any of you actually produce good artwork? Or do you just get off snuffing other people out with your power trips?
*Edit: I do apologize for being so inflammatory. I acted out of frustration. I don't care that my posts were deleted. I read the rules, saw that my tagging was WOEFULLY inadequate and understand.
I'm just not sure how to trust feedback I'm seeing on other users posts being deleted when I see tons of artwork getting approved that is worse than stuff getting deleted. How can I trust or respect the opinions of other users moderating posts when there are so many conflicting uploads that have been approved over other users being rejected?
Help me to understand. I'm new here.
I also recognize this post was out of topic of this thread. I'm sorry.

You need to take a chill pill. First of all, we don't even know what uploads you want feedback on or are trying to dispute, so already you're using this thread improperly.
Second off, who's the toxic one here? If there is behavior as you describe (toxic, rude, belligerent, arrogant, self important), then go ahead and report them to a moderator or Admin, but I would advise not to make baseless accusations.
Lastly, this site isn't necessarily for artists. It's simply a "curated" gallery at large (as we do not necessarily service artists nor have the intention to). If you're trying to make a jab at the "fact" that we may have poor judgment of art simply because we're not excellent at drawing, then that's one hell of a stretch.
Again, take a chill pill. Seems to me you really haven't read howto:upload, as all three of your uploads someone else had to tag for you, and neither are they sourced. Talk about disrespectful to the artist in addition to doing, well, whatever you're doing right now.

Wow, such an explosion just because nobody approved your three posts with tentacle porn? How did you survive the last eight years in this toxic wasteland?
Can’t speak for others, but even though I can’t cook, I can still tell if a meal someone else cooked tastes good or not. :q
Edit: Following your nonsense-argument of “must be better at X to criticise X”, where’s your perfectly moderated image gallery if you criticise how this one is run?

It's not my 3 posts that I care about. It's the how two-faced and hypocritical these mods are. There's artwork on this site that has been approved that is worse than the bs reasons I'm seeing other posts get rejected for. There's no base standard I can see. It's all over the place. The goal posts are being moved constantly. It's bs.

I barely see mods in here, the feedback is largely from other, regular uploaders of varying temperaments.
Question: If you can't make a great game yourself, is it wrong for you to criticize a shitty game? The answer is that you don't have to be able to make a game to be able to understand what makes a game good or bad or reliant on personal preference. The same applies to art.
And yes, I can produce decent art on top of being able to differentiate between good/bad art.

If you think that's the case then start flagging (howto:flag) the images that are "obviously worse" than deleted post.
I know we have them, but then one has to take action first and not complaining, especially in a topic where it is off topic.

Ah yes, this response. Sorry to say but a lot approvers are biased as to what things they prefer and what they don't prefer. Tentacle porn isn't exactly what a lot of them are privy to. You can find maybe that one approver that can tolerate that stuff but you might have to cross your fingers for that.

I would advise no one further feed the troll for now. I don't want this topic to get derailed just because we felt it was only right to refute this user's comments.
Let a Moderator+ handle this, a warning should *hopefully* be enough.
I'm hardly a troll. I have legitimate concerns.
I'll quote my edit below, and this is the last I'll say on the matter.

Unfortunately, a lot of the feedback in this thread comes from users who don't have to go through the queue, because to the staff they've proved to some measure that they're able to upload quality art regardless. So, there'll be a disconnect between our stance on quality and, say, an approver who may not have the same upload privileges or has a penchant for approving Western images, etc.
Ultimately, albert's desire for approvers is to skim the line between bad/mediocre and curate the ones perceived to be mediocre, as 'good' images are pretty easily and immediately recognized, but the borderline isn't.

Your account was registered over eight years ago... but alright. You should read about:mod queue if you haven’t done so yet. Note that if a post does not list an approver in the Information area on the left, it was uploaded by an unrestricted uploader and did not pass through the mod queue. If you think it’s bad, blame the uploader’s poor choice and not the “mods” (approvers). As mentioned by Chiera, you can send posts that you consider poor quality to the mod queue by flagging them for review.
These posts I uploaded all got shot down, and I can't see why. Putting them into the deletion appeal thread didn't get anything done.

Feels like the moderators are becoming overly-stingy or are possibly being biased.
Two of them have already feedback here. That should be enough.
post #2865210
Perspective problems. Like I said, things towards the viewer are getting bigger, but not to this extent. Her torso is way too small in comparison to her thigh/leg.
post #2848012
Looks honestly ok. Maybe it's a bit too western.
post #2847390
Bad face and that is pretty much it. Looks not well shaded and lighted . Take for example her lips...they are all completely lighted but her cheek is it not. It seems that the artist forgot some basic things about lighting here. It's hard to see but experienced persons see that.
post #2847389
This looks sketchy. This is normally not a problem, but it is still very rough.
On top of that, she has anatomy problems with the crotch as her pussy looks either to small or the rest too large.

Some of those are pretty western or pseudo-western styled. I can see why those would be passed over by approvers (Not mods).
post #2865210 - pseudo-western (hints of both western and eastern style). I don't really know what it is about the image but it just screams 'meh' to me. Perhaps it should be approved on the basis of it being 'meh' but not 'bad'.
post #2851624 - proportions of the limbs are kind of off and the effect is overwhelming and intrusive. Another 'meh' image, neither good nor bad.
post #2848012 - about 80-90% western, I would not approve if I was an approver.
post #2847390 - 100% western, creepy soulless eyes staring into my soul
post #2847389 - overly sketchy, tentacles (not very popular content), about 50% western-style, mostly to do with eye and mouth shapes.
post #2853372 - anime-styled unlike a lot of the other posts, which is good, but the torso is very long. The artist foreshortened the legs to be bigger as appropriate due to the perspective, but the torso isn't equally shrunk to match that perspective so it gives her a giraffe-like upper body.
Doesn't seem western to me.

One breast is however bigger than the other, due to bad perspective, and they both seem to be coming out of her neck. The legs have a similar problem.
Should I refrain from uploading from dofskih's deviantart ? Because when I begun, the pictures were accepted almost immediatly, but since yesterday, more than half of them don't pass the pending :

Well, one advice that I can always give is to not upload everything you see from an artist. I guess you already knew that, but the intention behind this is that you need to develop an eye for what is good and what is not. Taking your time before uploads and checking twice an image.
The first image looks perfectly fine, though. Can't really see any issue except maybe the foreshortening. But I think I would have approved that, so that's the only criticism here. Anatomy is definitely ok.
The second image has way to large forearms. Don't know if that's common for this char, but that is a flaw I see immediately. The hands per se look also like they could need a double-check.
The third post...also similar to the first one, but it involves furry posts and maybe One Piece isn't that popular among Approvers anymore...
