As long as it looks good by the standards of this website, then it should be okay. Sadpanda's a bitch anyway.

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.

Hmm... Do you think it might be necessary to elaborate on the wiki about this stuff? To prevent people from wasting their time if they're trying to achieve Contributor status, I mean.

...I'll admit I'm guilty of doing this (though I was also genuinely interested in the doujins I was uploading), but I quickly stopped when I thought I was breaking the rules.

In any case, elaboration might be a good idea, for the sake of people who might want to upload doujins in the future. Discourage them from trying to get free translations or Contributor status, and focus on uploading quality.

But that's just my opinion.

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.
