Deleted images aren't deleted anyways, I think the drama would go away if you'd just treat them as bad_quality (won't show unless actually searched for, not just hidden on the page like blacklist) rather than "deleted".
Current system is terrible.
Probably less work for mod queue if it were done that way too.

Only if it doesn't require you to be using a computer, oops, it does. Time is work. Nobody is getting paid. Good things get deleted.
It takes a single click to reapprove a flagged picture. It's in fact more work to flag it, or even to upload anything. Why not just have automated uploads as well?
The answer is the same: because otherwise crap will end up on the site's main gallery.
We already have that as status:deleted.
And there's already a booru that doesn't delete bad stuff - it's called Gelbooru.

Crap has always gotten approved, and good things have always been deleted.
Crap getting approved is why we have flags. Good things getting deleted is why we have appeals. You're welcome to do both.
Making bad_quality act as a "deleted" post that can be manually searched is just fine. It's not like it would consume more space since nothing is deleted anyways as it is.
We don't have a "bad_quality" tag. There was a fairly subjective poorly_drawn tag once, but it was removed once it was decided that badly drawn art should just get flagged instead. Questions of quality are better left to trusted approvers than put in the hands of any user who can add or remove tags on a whim.
Also, I don't think tags work the way you think they do, i.e "won't show unless actually searched for". We don't have any tags that are hidden from everyone by default. It probably wouldn't take too much effort to code a special type of tag that does this, but I don't see a reason for this when we already have status:deleted.

Gelbooru also doesn't put much effort in tagging. Sankaku is also better than gelbooru but they're still both pretty bad. Also, many unapproved posts only have minor quirks, rather than being straight terrible like what you see on TBIB etc.
And "good" and "bad" are both rather subjective. Certain elitists are always raising stinks about bad art and then posting stuff like: post #3339569 *cough*
I can find problems with the vast majority of top tier art(ists) if I wanted to!
Either way I'm really fed up with the mod queue problem.
More proof it doesn't work, this has been pending for 2 days for example: post #3338011

I could have sworn status:deleted didn't work for normal members, but it just showed in incognito tab. Either way my point above still stands.
For myself, I think the current system works well enough.
The following are my thoughts on the current and proposed systems.
Depends on user's POV
Depends on user's POV
I prefer the current system which is well-defined and structured, providing formal mechanism to change a post's status. The proposed system seems a lot more chaotic, and in my opinion it is ultimately more likely to increase the amount of drama rather than decreasing it as claimed.
