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

As has been said many times, a post's score has nothing to do with its chances of approval; they're two completely different things.

Right. That is not what I'm confused about.

How can a post which has been "deleted" still be up, and be viewed, and be voted upon? It feels like the difference between an approved post and a disapproved (deleted) post is tenuous, arbitrary, non-existent, or otherwise not clearly communicated.

Ah, I see what you’re asking. “Deleted” here only means that it is hidden by default in any searches and counts against a user’s statistics and upload limit. Posts are only permanently deleted from the website in certain circumstances; only site admins have the ability to do so. As for the quality standards which determine whether posts are approved, they are somewhat subjective because art is subjective.

what's wrong with this?

I'll never understand it. They'll approve stuff from an artist because their art is high quality and well drawn, then look at more art from them that looks just as good as the previous stuff that they've approved, and then reject it. I will never understand what lens they are viewing stuff from. How can an artists' previous posts being approved not have any bearing on the approval process? They're the same quality.

Don't question our dear overlords, they follow their own rules, they are right and we peasants are wrong.
