Upload Feedback Thread - post here if your uploads keep getting deleted

Western art of western copyrights rarely gets approved. This is an anime-style board after all.

Avatar and korra combined total over 1500+ posts. That's not even getting into the number of posts for western superheroes, which unlike the former examples don't even look anime-styled.

All, consider this: as of this posting, we have 51 users with the ability to approve posts and it is their duty to do so based entirely on their personal perception of quality and interest. Would it be feasible to require even a majority of them to comment on why they didn't accept each of the 269+ posts deleted in the last 7 days? I don't mean to impress that the approval system is "fair" in any kind of way; it really isn't. But it is what it is, it's one of the core workings of the site, and demanding that you receive an answer to why your posts are deleted usually doesn't even earn as much as this reply.

4 separate people getting no reply is pretty out of hand, though. I delayed posting my example specifically because I was waiting for the other posters to get feedback. Constructive criticism isn't compulsory here, sure. But it is the purpose for which this thread was created.
But you're right. There's no point in trying to make sense of why some posts get approved and others don't. They just have to be seen by the right people.

And Danbooru has over 3,5 million images here.
1500 images in total sound like a lot but in relation it's really not that much.

Even if you count all the Superhero posts you will barely scratch 50.000, even 25.000 sounds like a stretch, images.

I think the fact that it only says "unapproved in 3 days" instead of noting the number of approvers who viewed it means your post wasn't actually seen by any approvers. Just bad luck, I guess. Only thing you can do now is hope some approver sees your post now and likes it.

I get that, but the posts that ARE from those tags don't really have anything exceptional about them. They're not "Man, this image is so good, we have to include it even though it's western". They're just... normal posts. Which can trip up newbies like me.
I think Elfaleon is right about the watermark being the main issue with that post. But I do agree with your point.

Nope, the post certainly was reviewed. Detailed rejection reasons and reviewer counts get purged after a while to avoid cluttering the database, so none of the older posts have that information.
