Posts deleted for "Unapproved in three days"

Posted under General

Question; what if you have two images that are 'before' and 'after' variations --parent and child, I suppose-- and one gets approved while the other's still waiting?

It's the third day and I uploaded them back-to-back so that they could remain in my gallery in that order but the 'after' version has yet to be approved. I want it to beat the upcoming deadline.

I assume you are referring to post #189155 and post #189159 ? I'm not a mod, and the only thing I can say is that accepted material is entirely at the mods' prerogatives, and that accepting one member of a set does not guarantee that the entire set get accepted. I would judge that those two start at about so-so h-game quality, and experience suggests that mods are less likely to accept bukkake-esque images such as your "after" than clean images such as your "before". That doesn't really answer your question, except to say that it's entirely at the mods' discretion what's included and what's not.

Yea, I figured as much. I just wouldn't have assumed it was because of the sperm with all the over-the-top ejaculation images that're posted here...

I don't like seeing sperm either but I figured I'd upload it anyway since it was part of a pair and because things aren't always about me. I'll go ahead and delete it myself, though; no loss to me, since the feet are in exactly the same position in both of the the images. That's all I cared about.

Posting both images in the pair was right. Considering that other people might want both was right. Pointing out in the forum that only one had been accepted was also ok. You were doing great that far.

Then why did you suddenly change your mind and delete one of the pictures? By deleting your submissions before they expire, you're denying other mods the chance to see them and decide whether they should be approved. You're also denying other people the possibility of uploading them, since from now on that picture will be blocked by the duplicate-rejection system.

Thank you for your input but a few factors went into changing my mind.

Earlier in this thread, it was stated that there isn't an influx of images waiting to be approved; if something doesn't get approved, it's because the mods didn't give a shit about it. It was also stated that there an _ample_ amount of mods and that what they want uploaded is what makes the cut. Not to mention their collective[?] distaste for semen, which I personally agree with but can look beyond in the case of the image in question.

Well now; ample pairs of eyes? Check. More than enough time [nearly 72 hours' worth; down to the wire]? Check. Mod-pleasing status? Unconfirmed, but looking grim. Also, and this may be presumptuous but, until 4 hours ago, this thread remained stagnant while others in the forum were bumped by moderators and admins themselves since the time of my previous post. From all that, I gathered this little old life-goes-on issue of mine was being passed over.

Heh, no sweat. This was a 'Good Samaritan'-type upload anyway; the one I preferred already made the cut so if the black suits ain't feelin' this one, screw it. Far be it from _me_ to have dominion over what gets auto-approved, much less suggest my that my inferior upload be accepted, right? So I saved the ugly, steadily-drowning kitten from its watery grave. Well, more like I put it out of its misery but let's not dwell on that. Point is, yes, I deleted it for the sake of my Posts/Deleted Posts ratio along with the reasons stated above. Apparently nothing of value was lost.

Meanwhile, alot of Nothing-Of-Value is gained; WTF-inducing pictures hop-scotch over this weeding process, with their /facepalm-inducing quality and and their _whopping_ THREE unthought-out tags [one of which is "tagme"; lazy cocks], making them vague and indistinguishable from all the other vague and indistinguishable submissions forever lost in the sea of vague, indistinguishable-ness. Pissed into an ocean of piss. Until some lurker with OCD like me clicks on it and just _can't_ leave it be until its possible dupe/parent/child is found, handled accordingly, and its tags reflect every minute detail visually presented by the artist/author. All because someone who invited someone invited someone who invited someone. And he invited 2 more.

So if you were correct about the deleted submission being 'gone forever', which sounds strange to me, I'm guessing Danbooru will be that much better off without it.

Two deleted posts got me to moderator status, and those were among the first ten or so images I uploaded. So don't worry about that.

While it is true that some poor quality stuff makes it through the cracks due to the invite system (although I think quality is pretty decent overall), you can always report for deletion if it's really that bad. That effectively puts an image back on mod queue.

By the way, I think that if a poster deletes his own post, it should also delete the entry in the database for that image. That way, someone could delete something they're just not comfortable with having on their "record", and then someone else can upload it instead.

Good lord, where did that rant come from? Anyway, as I understand it deletion blocks the MD5 of the image. Thus if someone else tried to upload that exact image, it would be rejected as a dupe of a deleted image. Hence the gone "forever" issue.

At any rate, don't worry about it so much.

It would also help that deleting your own posts doesn't count towards your Deleted Images total. I was uploading to both moe.imouto and danbooru for a time with danbooruup, and I kept forgetting to change the target *booru in the uploader and kept upping things to moe that don't belong thee (i.e. not high res) and had to kepe deleting them as "self-deletion" =P Oops.

Understood.

I agree also. Days ago, I deleted something I had regretted uploading because I wasn't fond of having it in my gallery but I'm sure someone else might've liked it.

Sorry. It just didn't wanna make light of why I do what I do. There is a thought process behind it all. Didn't mean for it to be so long-winded.

Ah, I just assumed that was momentarily and that it'd eventually get flushed. But thanks.

Yea, I didn't like that either. So I found out that if you delete it twice [like, if you click on the deleted posts number, then the number the deletion is represented by and click "Delete" again], it alters the 'Deleted Posts' tracker.

I just realize, if exist one moderator for each type of hentai, or moderators with every taste of hentais like: i love tentacles, girls full of sperm, harcore pics, girls filled in all possible holes and so on, and a friend that loves loli (pay atention, that i'm not complaining about the loli issue) softcore, girls dressed in sexy positions and so on... if he got "admin power" he would never accept a hardcore pic... did you catch what I mean?

sorry for the bad english... a long time I don't use a english forum

I think the moderator team is large enough so that different tastes shouldn't be an issue. Then again, I have several images that I posted a few days back that are unapproved, and I can't for the life of me see why :s

well i would say that the mod staff is ok just needs to think more open if they are like i only like that type of hentai you know.

And you need more punctuation, like outlined in great detail in forum #2156. I'm getting really tired of having to parse your drivel. And I'm easily irritated when tired.

Hello, I am still new to Danbooru, trying to get to know this place better, and my question is: wouldn`t it be considered abusive if I try to re-post an image that wasn`t approved within the three days limit?

Of course I wouldn`t even think about doing that if the image received negative score, or simply was not so great in terms of quality, et cetera. But I personally found it generally appealing, and so, apparently, did the four users who added it to favourites (not to mention the +7 score)…
