How would I get my builder rank back

Having multiple accounts isn't against the rules. Using multiple accounts to bypass user limitations is against the rules. Which is exactly what the ToS and Community Rules say. Several high level users have multiple accounts for various reasons.

Deleting his old account and making a new one wouldn't have done him much good, anyway. Deleting it doesn't get rid of it, and doing so thinking you can fool the Moderators into forgetting your past mistakes is not going to work out well for you. Moderators will know it's him regardless, and it'll be just as hard for him to re-earn his promotion, especially if it looks like he hasn't learned anything.

You're really not giving him the best advice right now. In fact, he's more likely to end up permabanned if he follows your advice, because it'll look like he's doing exactly what you just cited the ToS for: making multiple accounts to bypass user restrictions.

TBH even without the promotion a fresh start would be nice, the demotion was a last straw more then anything

Understood, my bad. Although I know deleting an account doesn't magically changes everything, I wasn't aware of all the points you made in your post.

You keep asking for a fresh start, but honestly you already know exactly how to get your upload limit back up, you just refuse to improve your upload quality. This is also evident by the fact your sock also has a 50+% deletion ratio; if you continue to upload art of this standard, no matter how many times you make a new account it'll just get its limit lowered back down to 5 again.

I did try for what it’s worth, makes me feel like sisyphus, I tried with the Major art and Citadel ripping (yes I really did it as I said), but those Arc GIFs and art knocked me back to square one, and it took awhile to get up due to the cap hence it feeling hopeless , So kinda gave up, as for the alt to be entirely honest I wasn’t sure if it’s get permed or not due to the Citadel wiki editing being to obvious (wanted to do it as I love the game and intended it to be my new main) so was somewhat less picky as I was rushing to find art of the series I like.

By “try” I meant upload art I was 101% sure would be approved, Not just art I like and think would be as it were (I obviously don’t uploaded art I intend to see denied lol)

That's on you. There are plenty of other users who keep trying with low upload caps, some who may get it back up to 15 or higher and some who may be stuck at 5 for a while. The difference is they keep uploading and making an effort to improve (and don't make dedicated threads in the forums to whine about it) or just accept their low upload cap and are patient with posting to the modqueue.

Mods probably just looked at your email/IP address tbqh. And I find your excuse hard to believe considering only 4 uploads on user #1357125 are for The Citadel, with 6 being for Tsukihime, 2 for Touhou, 2 for Neon Genesis Evangelion, and 1 each for Fate/stay night and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

I said “wiki edits” for a reason, I made new wiki pages for the art I uploaded for The Citadel (specially that one of a few of Beyond Citadel’s characters) as I typically do when I uploaded art of it’s characters, and the email I used was a burner of mine, not the same one, I ain’t THAT lazy lol

You have to expand your quality standards EVEN more, because I checked your previous uploads, and I am surprised some of them made it through the moderation queue. You have to try to earn your slots back, and learn from your past mistakes like a few users said ITT already. I know losing your Builder privileges must suck, but whining about it is not going to help your case.

Part of why it ticked me off is I lost them for nothing to do with them, I can make BUR’s without builder perms, hell I did it earlier, I’d used builder for tagging work and it’s a fucking pain without them (I populated the Maruder tag for SST today for example), plus ofc being able to search better is nice too. I will admit it, I’ve not got the highest standards for art, part of it is I’m of the mind the highest of the highest quality stuff is typically uploaded anyway, so I just upload what I think looks nice

Maybe fix your upload ratio?

I recommend the game cg upload approach. If not that, food focus or scenery. If you want to do people, just 1 girl solo blue archive should work.

If you cant make those work, its really just an issue with you understanding what we want on here. I am not sure that is even fixable. Plenty of people got to unres while posting porn, so its not that hard to narrow down what the approvers would find appealing.

Alright then, so focus on using your critical thinking skills a bit more when submitting BURs then. Check the wiki pages of tags before making BURs for them. You could've avoided headaches if you looked at the wikis for tired and obese and saw that the tag for Hans Gunsche was highlighted red after the BUR was published and also maybe don't submit BURs for fandoms you're not familiar with because apparently those names were wrong regardless.

As for tagging, get creative with wildcards (and temporarily blacklisting tags). But if all you're going to do in this thread is respond to criticism and advice with "but I shouldn't have to follow the same rules as everyone else because I don't want to" (like you did in the last one) then we're at a stalemate and I have nothing else to say to you.

I have uploaded Game CGs before, specifically ones from the one and only Beyond Citadel and there’s a few more I should at somepoint, but plenty of the art I upload is solo, just Fate and Tsuki art instead of BA.

I’m a Hellsing fan, I uploaded plenty of art from it over time Hans Gunche is a very commonly used name so I assumed it was official, and even so it’s common enough it should be aliased, Max Montana is legit though, tired was a fuck up though I’d argue obese should be renamed to “very fat” to avoid the confusion I had but that’s neither here nor there. I never said I didn’t have to follow the same rules as everyone else all I said is I’d like a clean slate lol.

Blue archive art thats popular on twitter is already consensus checked for quality.

Most of your fate uploads are bad quality, you will never have a good ratio that way.

Heres a really easy one.

Just upload literally anything from this dude that is completed and not uploaded already. I guarantee coremack will approve it cause they love the style. If they end up unapproved you can dmail him to take a look.

You can also check topic #24186 from time to time.

Approvers post interesting things there, and some uploaders take it to earn more slots.

Yeah maybe don't DM approvers begging them to look at/approve your uploads (unless they've personally said it's okay, and even then don't take it too far). This user has burned enough good will, they don't need another negative record for privately pestering approvers.

I did not recommend this blindly.

Coremack himself on discord comfirmed he is fine with a dmail on artists he put a bounty on.

Just dont be super annoying and message him after every upload or something, basic email etiquette.

Definitely need to include that detail when making that recommendation, because otherwise you're putting out the idea to anyone that happens across this discussion that DMing approvers asking them to look at your deleted uploads is generally acceptable behavior.

That's not following the same rules as everyone else, that's you asking for a special get out of jail free card because you're a special boy who reeeaaaaaallllllyyyy wants it.

Fair enough, for anyone reading, annoying approvers through dmails is very bad. The exception is for their own upload bounties, you can see the thread.
