Clock said: Is "moderators did not like the post enough to approve it" really a valid reason to let stuff go down?
The approval system is the whole reason danbooru is even a thing. Since quality is so subjective, it makes sense that at least one person who's in the inner circle should "like" it before it becomes approved
Far worse stuff made it through.
Now see, this comment is a slippery slope. Some of the worse stuff could be from older times when the judgement was a little more lax. Supposed "worse stuff" could also have merits in other ways through comedy or ideas or whatever.
End of the day, it'll be approved if a mod thinks it's worth keeping here. Elsewise, it doesn't get through which...doesn't really affect it all that much aside from not being on danbooru really.
