Getsuga said: So they're not official uncensored. Okay... so? What's the problem with that? Change the tags to DEcensored and done. This seriously can't be a (good) reason to just delete these pictures. The art ist very good and I think the decensoring turned out pretty good too.
Also what about the rest? What's wrong with them? Still no answers there. I know very well that I'm not the only one whose posts get deleted here - I don't take this personal. Furthermore I also know that the mods, etc. also have other stuff to do than just approving posts. But still... I just want to know the reasons why these uploads were deleted/not approved.
If it was "decensored" as opposed to "uncensored", then that means some third party came along and photoshopped it, and Danbooru simply doesn't look kindly on that kind of thing.
Unofficial decensoring is always a 3rd party photoshop which is against the Terms of Service. Danbooru's policy has been to post only official unaltered art (unless the alterations were made by the original artist).
I think the thing to keep in mind with the others is that the more hardcore and pornographic an image is, the higher quality it generally needs to be to be accepted. There is a bit of a bias and stigma among the mod community here against super hardcore images (such as the gangbang and bukkake images you are refering to).
They tend to be prevalent anyway and so for the same reason as Touhou images, end up getting being held to a higher standard by many mods than less graphic images. There are also a few high ranking members among the mod team that eschew pornographic images entirely and will just pass them over or filter them out.
Danbooru's stated purpose mission is "to collect good quality anime-centric images", and it has been repeatedly stated in the past by moderators and the like that "Danbooru is NOT a porn site." Good quality and porn are not exclusive, and we don't screen explicit images out by policy, but it seems the mods here tend to err on the side of caution before arbitrarily accepting extremely hardcore images.

Well, okay. But this site has MANY such "hardcore" pictures such as bukkake, gangbang, rape... hell, there are even such things as "skull_fucking" here. So why just filter out some of them while others get approved? It's rather none or all of them don't you think?

If you have such a policy here then better always keep at it and not just refer to it when it comes in handy. To me it seems like it's often completely random what's getting approved and what's not - nothing more or less.
It's subjective and I, personally (and probably the other janitors as well), judge explicit images by their artistic merits rather than if it's fap-worthy. Also, keep in mind that the quality standards have changed over time. There are many older posts of lower quality and they don't have any bearing on whether or not new posts get approved.
Getsuga said: Even if you say that danbooru is NOT a porn site. Like I said before: There are still MANY pornographic "hardcore" pictures here so that argument is really weak in my opinion.
The quantity of safe posts (rating:s) outnumbers the unsafe (rating:q and rating:e) by more than two to one. Just because there is porn on Danbooru doesn't make it a porn site.
Anyway, in regards to your unapproved posts, they aren't terrible, but they really aren't anything special either.

Well, I never said danbooru is a porn site anyway but just because safe posts outnumber the explicit ones doesn't make the numbers of pictures that are indeed explicit and hardcore smaller.
Cyberia-Mix said: Also bear in mind that lots of the hardcore content nowadays is posted by long time contribs.
Yeah, you're right. That's finally a good point/argument in this discussion here.
Again, thanks for the answers. I keep that things in mind for my next uploads. I still think it's a shame my recent uploads will get deleted though. Of course there are better images, but I still think they're worthy enough to be on this site. :P
I honestly don't find the deletion process too bad, since it's greatly improved my eye for quality art. I still find myself stumped as to how some pictures I find good somehow don't get approved. I know that males are not popular, as well as the more obscure series. I find them good to my tastes, but perhaps someone else can point out the flaws I'm missing. This isn't all of them, but I'll keep it short:
I find it frustrating that there hasn't beeen anything undeleted recently. Also, it seems to be me that both this thread and the deletion appeals thread are being neglected somewhat. On another note: post #946433 post #946826 post #945068 post #941916 post #938473
For some reason random threads aren't showing up as new posts for me this has been happening for some time now. I may go through and do a few of these tonight.
post #946433 - Inuyasha's short torso bothered me, but undelete since it's rare. post #946826 - I don't like those lines and coloring, so plain. No problem if the others approve it. post #945068 - Head too big. post #941916 - Have trouble finding her sexy. post #938473 - No neck.
