Some rule clarification about nude filters

It's most likely a third party edit so I guess that would be acceptable.

"Nude Filter: Images that have been edited by someone other than the original creator to remove clothing or censorship. These typically feature crude drawings of breasts or genitalia laid on top of the original image."

-Terms of Service

The words I marked are in my book a third party edit and nude filters are always done by third party people.
Well, calling @Hillside_Moose since he/she ended this discussion some weeks ago and @NWF_Renim since the post in question is post #2487314 (note: The post was flagged and approved before the other posts were uploaded).

But there are uncensored images out there with a high quality, quite the same style of the artist, so they look like the original artist (or group) did also an uncensored version.

By the rule you quoted such high quality image could still be deleted by suspicion it might be low quality. Even when it is not.

I presume, when someone does a uncensor and the image has a high quality standard, it usually would be approved here.

Like, there is one censor method that is the easiest to uncensor: the original artist creates a box, say 30x40 Pixel, and inverts the colours, using that as censor, usually the Japanese rules accept that as censor. But anyone with a few skills in Photoshop or GIMP can undo such a censoring and create a high quality image in 100% style and quality or the original artist. Even I did one uncensor like that, and wanted to upload it to one booru, but it was ages ago and at that time I had not bothered with getting to know all the rules, I just ask in a forum and they said "sounds good, upload it and we will see", but currently I cannot recall what it filename was. md5sum random name is not something I can recall.

post #2487314 isn't a nude filter; it's a decensor, and an extremely generic one at that. I swear, there must be a template that everyone uses, because the same labia gets copypasta'd on every decensor attempt I've seen.

That said, this isn't a case like Pixiv samples where it would warrant automatic deletion. Nude filters/decensors are highly discouraged (I would personally never approve one) and posting the original would improve your case in a flag, but If NWF Renim approved it I'm not going to push the subject.

I'm against any kind of "creative" Photoshop modification, whether it's adding vaginas when there are none, nude filters, or decensoring. "Technical" modifications, such as page-stitching or color-correcting scans, I'm more lenient on.

I agree with all of that.

Also as far as scans go (opinions may differ on this), I don't like third-party detexting or cropping out text, as the text can be useful for identifying the title, character, and/or artist, and viewers knowledgeable in Japanese may want to read or translate the artist's commentary.

Hi all, I was directed here by a helpful user, so I figured I'll post some questions I have on the subject.

I found a couple of posts (10+ or so) in the dungeon_and_fighter tag that, as an avid player of the game in question, are quite obviously nude filters. The list of posts that I compiled is rather lengthy, so to prevent this post from getting too wall of text-y I opted to exclude it (if anyone wants to see it here I can edit the post).

As of right now, I've only flagged cases where the official_art the edit is based off of already exists on Danbooru, as per the recommendation of the user who linked me here (post #2129910, post #2006340, post #1977574), and I guess I'm on the right track as the mods who re-reviewed those posts deemed them of bad quality, eventually getting them deleted. I've seen a mention on this thread that flags would be better backed by an upload of the original art. Is this preferred, or is a link to the original artwork (without an upload to Danbooru) in the flag reason acceptable enough? Most of the originals in the aforementioned list aren't on Danbooru yet, and to be honest, my upload speed is garbage and I haven't quite figured out how the upload bookmarklet works yet (I chalk that up to missing something probably blatantly obvious and being extremely tired at the moment).

I've been told to give a reason in the comments if I tag something with nude_filter, but if I can leave the same exact reasoning in the flag itself, wouldn't it be more preferable to leave the reason there instead? Not to mention the redundancy of having both at once. Seems like it would help more for visibility's sake, although one would only be able to cover posts slower (1 flag a day vs. 2 comments an hour).
