Yeah. I swear they're the same 10+ mods with bad taste from the last 5-10 deleted post of mine

Confirmed awful taste™

But this logic is kind of strange -- what would make you think otherwise if it were, say, 14 or 15 mods? Still the same folks? We have nearly 70 volunteer approvers on the site, and some don't get around as frequently to the queue as others do. I would've approved post #2734079, but that says little about what I'd approve from forum #131809.

post #2717205
I can somehow see why my other deleted uploads weren't approved, but not this one. It's well-drawn, has popular characters, no anatomical errors, done by an established artist. Yes, it's a compilation, but done by the artist himself. Yes, it's from twitter but he hasn't posted anything on his pixiv or deviant in ages. And he won't post this, because yes, it's a bit of a sketch, but it's done, it's finished. It was good enough for him to put on his twitter profile pic. Why isn't it good enough for danbooru?
And it gained 24 favorites over 3 days it's been up. Please.

A simple "I think this is decent quality" would have sufficed. The more you say, the worse it gets:

  • well-drawn -- that's up for us to decide
  • has popular characters -- doesn't say anything about the quality of the post
  • no anatomical errors -- see 1
  • established artist -- even popular artists make mistakes
  • favorites -- favorites don't determine quality as well as you think (lot of member-level users favorite what basically amounts to porn)

The approver team consists of roughly ~60 volunteers, and since we scrub through them quickly we're bound to miss some things. This is what this thread is for.

That all said, I would've approved it, but not with that attitude. Apologies. It'll get approved by someone else, I believe.
