Not sure what you mean with "overlooked". If no approver thinks its good enough its not getting approved.

it means exactly what it means, how about you try clicking on a post for once instead of just judging from the thumbnail.

also, thank you for proving how redundant & pointless the appeal system is with your statement, you might as well have said this instead "Not sure why the appeal system exists. If no approver thinks its good enough its not getting approved."

I don't know why you think throwing shit at the people that decide if your uploads get approved or not is going to help your case. Since appealing resets the moderation history, I don't know how many people reviewed these posts originally (I'm sure you do), but you can't say they were "overlooked" if several people reviewed it. It didn't get overlooked, it just didn't get reviewed by anyone who wanted to approve it. Just because someone approved some of them before doesn't mean they or anyone else are obligated to approve the rest.

But you know all this, and will probably very snappily tell me you know all this, begging the question of what you hope to accomplish by throwing a tantrum everytime approvers reject something you uploaded.

just because a body part is 6/8ths of a degree too twisted to the right or left, or a pic has 2 fewer strokes of the brush or pencil to solicit their grand approval for a post that is as detailed as the approved posts from the same artists just seem to be a giant fucking piss take to me, it's absolutely ridiculous.

unless someone can explain in autistic detail how those are approved and these aren't I guess I'll just remain here with this boot in my mouth because fuck me for trying to upload some honest-to-good art on this site filled with mediocrity.

I'm trying to break the mold here.

also, choosing to be petty by not approving good posts simply because of the opinions of the uploader just shows that they shouldn't be approvers, I didn't create this art after all.

personal feelings shouldn't get in the way of doing your job, a fact you should already know.

This sounds like you took it personally.

of course I did, 4 posts of the same quality, from the same artist, uploaded separately with plenty of time between each of them were approved, something I chose to do in order to know whether or not this artist's works would be approved, and they were all approved, so I upload their best of which I know has the same quality as the 4 former uploads, yet because of this sites defunct approval system, only a few are approved with the rest being neglected and ignored for most probably only the most ridiculous of reasons, yes, you bet your rereend I took it personally, my upload limit is now down to 14 and my deletion rate is rising because of their indecisive choice to not click a button and approve a post that clearly has the same quality of the approved posts.

excuse me for having a natural reaction to these circumstances I'm constantly dealt. it's as Rag'n'Bone says "I'm only human after all"

and I'm a simple user with a platinum rank, not someone who has any sort of power over posts or other users, so I think that gives me the right to vent a little, if my nametag were purple I'd keep my reactions to myself.

Nothing else you've said was worth responding to, but I really needed to highlight the hypocrisy of this.

You have no room to criticize others for behaving with bias when you repeatedly act like a petty, short-tempered child everytime someone does something you don't like. To demand that people who aren't even getting paid for their contributions to this site put on their best customer service smile and afford you undue patience while you antagonize everyone you disagree with is so incredibly insulting. If any of them are intentionally skipping your posts because you keep insulting them, I don't blame them. They don't need a real reason not to approve posts in the first place, you attacking them all the time is just giving them one.

unlike you and many other purpletags, I've contributed £40 of my own money to this site and would subscribe to a paid monthly subscription if this site had one because of it being pretty much the only booru that harbors good honest art pieces and isn't just filled with porn, I'd expect this fact to be taken into account by approvers when judging my posts or any actual art piece that isn't just porn by taking it under special consideration and to understand well enough that artistic errors are sometimes a chosen thing that artists do, like body proportions being too twisted/stretched or other parts of a piece having less detail then the more detailed parts, all of which are quite prevalent in any real artist's works, to respect their artistic license through that understanding and consideration is not asking the world of these approvers, just for them to be better at their job, just for them to understand that there's a significant difference between approving some 80-page speedily drawn doujin and an actual piece of art that requires more attention then just "it has ass, tits or is funny? approved. it has none of those things? not approved."

and you bet your ass I have the right to get pissed every time someone doesn't do their job because I'm one of the few users on this site that has contributed real money towards it, yet here I am, constantly a victim of their indecision to approve an actual art piece if it demands more of them or it's because they just want ass and tits, I also think that any time dedicated towards a deed of which you get no reward from is just begging for a criminal amount of neglect that's driven by emotion, you are a perfect example of this seeing how openly confrontational you are, to let your hatred towards someone get in the way of approving good art and contributing to the site is exactly the perfect reason why you should most definitely not be an approver or any rank of significance for that matter.

You realize that putting money towards the site does in no way offer you any benefits of getting your stuff approved, right? It's not in the fine print, it's not in the listed benefits, it's not anywhere.

Your art is just as likely to be approved as some dude who doesn't pay a dime and uploaded their first piece.

yeah I know, but it feels like I'm being singled out when it is constant, I even took precautions to know whether or not this art style is acceptable here by uploading one pic at a time multiple times before posting all of their best all at once, and yet I still eat a shit sandwich regardless of what I try, again, this approval system is too chaotic and unpredictable, I can't win, it's pretty much a system based on chance.

It's not, in fact it's entirely predictable. Quality is very subjective but if you take a look at your deleted uploads you can form an idea on what danbooru doesn't like. Take post #7068827 for instance, the head is too small for the body and gives off a poor quality feel too it so of course it wasn't approved. Your various uploads also fall into this same vein of looking like mid quality deviantart works. Again compare post #7115851 with post #7115810 despite being from the same artist the feel in quality is vastly different leading to only one of the pieces being approved. I say this to tell you that you aren't being ignored your uploads just aren't good enough to get approved. My advice is to stop uploading western art since most of your finds are hit and miss.

that's not entirely true though because of it all being subjective in the first place, I can upload a pic I'm sure will get approved like post #6300704 or post #6292333 and it just gets ignored, and yet at the same time I can upload a pic like post #6336949 that I initially regretted posting because I knew it'd get deleted, only for it to get approved, yet months later it gets flagged and deleted because I tried to get the other pics in the mini-comic approved, a situation which just lead me to feeling a great distrust towards the forums & discord to help me with uploads from then onwards.

I do believe that it is this indecision that is leading to most of my posts being ignored because people constantly forget the fact that this isn't just an anime/porn site but also a site that harbors good quality art, I know that at least half of my deleted posts should be approved based on other approved posts that I've seen either approved by approvers or uploaded by contributors, and western art is accepted here seeing how only 138 are deleted out of my 786 western art posts, otherwise it'd be the other way around.

again, it's just too unpredictable, a perfect example is the fact that an approver had just recently appealed post #7202528 of one of this artist's works, if that isn't a sign of indecision then I don't know what is.

all and all, I know it isn't my choice of art that is causing these deletions, it is an unwillingness amongst the approvers to commit to the approval of quality art posts that go by the second rule of Danbooru. post #2430440 is a perfect example of this.
