Don't necrobump threads... especially with something non-relevant.

Hi. This is my first time posting here, so sorry if I post this on a wrong place or I missed something important haha.
Well I tried to submit this picture:

/posts/2940982?tags=user%3AEldelbar

And it was rejected. I am not sure how f because is bad or because I did some fail placing the tags or something.

May someone help me? Thanks :3

@葉月: Yes.

2011-03-01T05:20:12-05:00

Yes.

If we go ahead and decide to give it a whirl, what do we do about really old images that preceded the moderation queue? There's a few pieces of crap that have just been sitting around and stewing for a few years, should they be fair game as well?

Unless I missed something, I don't think a consensus was made. I'm thinking of doing what I did for the translation request thread: Create a trial, and if it works, keep it, and if not, lock it.

2011-02-28T16:41:12-05:00

So, to get back on topic, I think the "flagging request thread" idea sounds good. As long as there is some rule about having to put a specific reason for each post so people don't go posting stuff like "All of artist_x's stuff because it sucks!"

2011-02-23T17:01:40-05:00

I would call Bouguereau off topic. While I wouldn't delete it, I wouldn't approve it either.

It's hard to come up with criteria for what sort of well-drawn art belongs on this site. I think this is just going to be a gray area that needs to be handled case by case.

2011-02-22T21:03:41-05:00

It's not what Danbooru was created for in any way, shape, or form. Art by Japanese, by Westerners or whomever of Japanese IPs, or classical Japanese art, that's all fine. I'd even extend to obvious cases of classic impressionism or otherwise that fall under Japonism. But Bouguereau is so far outside Danbooru's scope that I'm not sure why they're allowed no matter how good they are.

@Fred1515: I think those Bouguereau pics are completely...

2011-02-22T19:51:37-05:00

I think those Bouguereau pics are completely off-topic. You can easily find the works of Bouguereau and other classical painters in tons of other great sites that specialize in this sort of thing. The same cannot be said for pixiv artists that draw in a more classical style though, so having some classically drawn modern Japanese stuff for posterity might be OK.

Anyways, this thread was about members being able to request images to be flagged, so if this whole discussion on off-topic images is continued, it should probably be in another thread.

2011-02-22T18:56:58-05:00

None of the posts mentionned on this page have their place on danbooru... judging by regular standards.

Especially the Bouguereau ones might just have set a precedent for undeleting/approving more classical art.

I still think it is or should be. We shouldn't care who drew it as long as it's good and relevant.

2011-02-22T14:11:34-05:00

Well, there's a topic-matter link (art of well-known "anime-style" franchises), but that's not explicitly called out in the TOS. Only "high-quality anime style art" is. (I think I'd probably consider that an oversight.)

I wouldn't disagree - I don't approve images that are scenery-only (i.e. scenery no_humans uploads). But they at least have the whole "modern Japanese" thing going for them in terms of scope. That's not an insta-approval, but it's not irrelevant either.

No, but there's no argument for post #838509 either. Which is all I'm saying. I'm not advocating uploading more, just treating classic art the same way we treat recently drawn classical pieces from pixiv.

I thought the difference was that, classical in style or otherwise, we mainly deal with contemporary Japanese art.

2011-02-22T13:59:29-05:00

I would advise against uploading more classic art like that unless it's a visual reference for another image that is parodying or influenced by it. There's just no good argument to be made that it fits within the scope of this site, by any definition.

@葉月: Okay, william-adolphe_bouguereau is what happened.

We host art from Japanese artists. Not anime art, but Japanese art. I have seen good art from non Japanese artists get unapproved for being off-topic so I cannot support making a distinction because this is classic art.

Then I'd say they should be appealed and approved.

In that case, I'm not being a smart-ass, would we host classical art from other artists? I'm not sure what the exception is here.

I wouldn't exactly suggest doing a classical flood, but I don't honestly see why post #461713 or post #460831 are more topical. Notice how the latter is perfectly classical in composition and technique. Just because the guy who drew it is called Misawa Hiroshi doesn't really make it qualitatively different from... okay, what the fuck just happened to bouguereau? There are no posts now.

But anyway, I don't see the harm in approving the occasional vista, and I don't see the harm in approving the occasional classical piece.

2011-02-22T13:25:01-05:00

Like scat or guro are banned, but if some pictures are really worthy, they'll stay.

Just reapproved 2 more bouguereau posts because I really like them.

That's just being weaboo. I know he's long dead, but that doesn't make his works any different from what we approve from pixiv. The artist being more or less slant-eyed shouldn't make any difference.

We host art from Japanese artists. Not anime art, but Japanese art. I have seen good art from non Japanese artists get unapproved for being off-topic so I cannot support making a distinction because this is classic art. I could argue that Impressionism is Japanese inspired, since some of the founders enjoyed Ukiyo-e woodblock carvings, but I think this is slightly stretching the working definition.

In that case, I'm not being a smart-ass, would we host classical art from other artists? I'm not sure what the exception is here.
