Heh, you are definitely not alone in thinking that. It's great for some things, but it has its' flaws.

I'll consider doing some later if I have time. I'm preparing a script beforehand so I can get to quickly adding notes right after I upload them.

Perhaps we could elaborate on that in help:users but getting contributor seems to largely be on a case-by-case basis. A high variety of high quality and popular uploads by lesser known artists helps a lot towards that goal. Or 'updating' the art of less popular artists for completion (which I do sometimes).

I suppose you can just observe how some users got contributor status: Elektronik is a good example. You can also cite me since I'm a recent addition to the contributor team. Otherwise, we could have a help:tips to unrestricted uploads status or something like that, which might outline some of the ways you can help out the site with uploads and retain a high approval rate. There are users that have been around the site for a while and constantly upload, but they haven't been promoted to contributor status… assumably because the quality of their uploads isn't completely trustworthy given the borderline quality uploads. I won't name them, but you can probably find out who they are.

It is better to keep that open for Contributions to this site, so that no misunderstandings will happen and let work users (Builders) together with the moderation team.
As you can see by this years's promotion activity, I think this is more than ok and on that section, we dont need a seperate guideline. We have howto:contribute, howto:tag, howto:rate, help:dtext (for Translations maybe important) and some other howtos.
