All four of these are consistent with the artist's style, and have nothing that actually ruins the artwork outright (given the user often flagged posts for their own reasons). Also, they were only reviewed by one moderator after being flagged.
Ah, right, those. As for the reviewed by one moderator thing I believe that was an error on the server's part, which should already be fixed. Well, they're certainly very good artworks (and at the worst would necessitate a bad anatomy tag).

I upload based on artist, more often than not.
Other times, yes I'll look for an under represented character/copyright.
However, even posts that hit +15 score/+25 favorites get lost, and i just don't get it.
Major complaint then -- you need to pick better/more consistent artists and also elevate your standard of quality for any uploaded work, regardless of copyright, character or fetish. "Underrepresentation" isn't a problem either -- you can't just force a copyright/character's popularity just by uploading all kinds of 'meh' stuff that not much people will like. If a character/copyright becomes popular, then they become popular. That's it. There are better ways to bolster their popularity than to post here in an attempt to get other artists' attention. See chinatsu's comment above.
Hell, my favorite light novel of all time is severely "underrepresented" (< 30 posts, most of which are novel illustrations), but I don't go out and upload literally everything half-decent on pixiv for it. And just as chinatsu said, if you like a copyright/character that's underrepresented, it's counter-intuitive that you dilute that copyright/character's works by uploading low-tier art. Great art inspires copycats, after all.
As for the latter part, sure some posts will get a fairly high score or high favorites (which suggests there's something to like about an image) but just because an image is popular doesn't always mean it's good. You can bring it up in the deletion appeals thread and it might waver someone's opinions but if a critical error is present or the overall quality is just 'meh', then there's little chance of it being forgiven.

Really my post was very much liked it seems but you guys dont even know what art is no matter if its NSFW or SFW, I think i am done with your site because literally everything is very bland or boring to look at. I have no clue why you all think you are so above uploads that you think you can be art snobs.
I literally have no clue why you decided this wasn't worth uploading and you seemed to have ignored my last post i had. So obviously you dont really care to be a human being toward me either.
Good to know. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
