What exactly makes a post "low quality?" I've had tons of mine deleted but no one ever actually gives a discernible reason to why.

You can search approver:any to get an idea of what approvers are looking for, a lot of your deletions are not particularly high quality they are rough and look unpolished to me like these two post #11170214 post #11169260, or are improperly sourced like most of the fossil fighters art post #11185314.

I checked some of your deleted posts. A lot of them had some bad anatomy and had poor lines. Some are on the edge of being "borderline", which you can see here help:upload rules (specifically scalie art) and essentially means they would need to be very well drawn pieces to be approved.

Also here is the Upload Help page help:upload to help you understand how posts get approved.
Short version is posts in the Mod Queue need at least 1 person to approve a post within 3 days. If not it gets deleted automatically. This process is mostly out of your control, but the control you do have is when you upload art that would more easily get approved, which is why borderline content would need to be exceptionally better than the average post.

I would recommend upload art by artists who have a good approve:delete ratio, art by more popular artists, and have a "restaurant" mindset, where you ask "is this a restaurant quality meal" but with art instead.

I’m unsure why some of my uploads keep getting deleted even though they were reviewed by many approvers. Posts like post #11175807, post #11033432, and post #11033483 each were reviewed by 15 approvers yet they got deleted due to being “unapproved in 3 days” and I’m really not sure why.

post #11197149 And post #11197171 were also reviewed by 16 and 15 approvers and they still got deleted and I don’t know why.

Hentai or any lewd fanart has a smaller chance of approvals due to reasons, regular fan art has a better chance of getting approved

And because of low quality such as post #11197199 and post #11197035 which I argue are amazing artworks from the artist but I now received a reason I guess.

NSFW posts are technically less likely to be looked at because they are more likely to have tags that are commonly blacklisted. Approvers are users too, after all. But we still have plenty of Approvers willing to approve them, and the posts you listed have had a decent number of Approvers look at them already, so I doubt they were rejected for being too lewd or anything like that.

The note said to post the deleted posts here for a chance for them to be restored and approved. So I just post them here and wait for them to be restored and approved?

Those are far below Danbooru standards, give that artist some time to grow.

In regards to post #11197149 in your earlier post, the general proportions are off, consider how small the legs on the purple are compared to his torso and stomach, the arms are much too long on the right character, (the reach around to the others waist in particular), and one of his legs is super thin.

The faces are good, but those details are too much for me to approve.

And what do you think about the posts I recently asked for feedback on?

That's weird, I don't see any decantering in this image.

Sorry, I usually don't bother to correct other's spelling mistakes, but this is literally the 12th time you misspelled "decent" (yes, I counted) and I felt something needed to be said.

I know it was for the joke but you could say the blood tears are decantering if you twisted the definition a bit

Hello, this is my first time posting on the forum so please bear with me if I make any mistakes as I'm still learning all how this works, but I was wondering why post #11183208 was deleted? It seems to be at about the same level of quality as most of this artist's other works, which for the most part have been approved, but this one was deleted

I'm not qualified to speak on whether that specific post should be approved since I'm not an Approver myself, but there are two general things you should know:

  • Just because a post is active doesn't mean it was approved. Users who have a high number of approved posts can be promoted to Contributor (one rank below Approver, see help:users) and are thus allowed to skip the mod queue, meaning their uploads become active immediately. Most of the posts under goodbyellow were uploaded by users of at least Contributor status, so they were never actually approved. The only one that was approved is post #11136666. Note how the information on the left lists an Approver's username while the others don't.
  • Danbooru has traditionally been an anime-focused imageboard, so some Approvers may not feel an art style based heavily on Western cartoon aesthetics are a good fit for the site. On the flip side, it only takes one to approve a post, so it still has a chance as long as there's an Approver that doesn't mind the art style and the quality isn't too bad.
