Danbooru

Regaining upload spots

Posted under General

My apologies in advance if I’m missing anything but I searched through the wiki and forum and was still a bit unclear!

I’ve recently wanted to start contributing more seriously to danbooru and was uploading and tagging etc and I ended up uploading one ai-generated piece that I mistook for real art. It was obviously deleted and I understandably have lost 5 upload slots. I was curious if those are now locked away forever or if there is a way to regain them?

Thanks!

You will regain the maximum number of upload spots upon having new uploads approved. The currently pending uploads slots will be cleared after 3 days max. You can read the details on about:upload limits.

I'm sorry to hear that you lost slots on AI. Danbooru has to be strict on AI, to not be swamped in it. Though, it is unfair to carry the burden if it was a genuine mistake. Please consider continuing your contributions, you're doing good work!

I deleted your upload. As other stated, it's an ai-generated image. Normally I'd let posts like that go trough the que normally as to not hurt users upload slots, specially if its a mistake. But when it gathers so much attention ( It was 5-9 on the hot page) It doesn't look good that a top danbooru post is an AI generated one.

Just an unlucky circumstance. You should regain those slots soon.

Thank you for linking to that, I think I was just a bit confused by some of the wording and was hoping to gain some more clarity!

And it's okay, it was a good way to learn to keep an eye out for AI art haha. The approver community on Danbooru is actually really kind and understanding and I'd love to be a part of it someday!

Thanks for doing that! Once the ai-generated tag was applied to the post, I wished I could have deleted it myself haha. I kept seeing the score rise and was just thinking "whoops!".

I'll keep a better eye out in the future!
