deleted because you do not like or are badly drawn?, is an unethical reason

Posted under General

"Poorly drawn" is good enough for me, and that's what that pool is.

This post was flagged for deletion:

Poorly drawn (I'm flagging the whole pool, so don't appeal with the "Part of a pool" reason) - S1eth 4 hours ago

This post was appealed:

Part of a pool - Anelaid 24 minutes ago

Haha, you just can't win, can you S1eth?

I support the decision to remove this as well. Even if this is translated, I doubt that anyone would be interested in reading it. Poor art, not much of content. It's not "unethical" as you say. Remember that images posted on the site don't belong to the uploader.

If nothing else, manually export the text to a text file and move it to Voile or something.

(On a side note, I think we can afford to be harsher on pools like these)

What the deuce do ethics have to do with whether or not to delete an image for being poorly drawn?

On an image repository for keeping well-drawn images, no less.

That entire pool looks like crap, and crap goes down the toilet.

The majority is already translated and some people like it. That is valid reasons.

Nope. They're not.

Theoretically, any image, no matter how poorly drawn, could have people that like it. The only ones that matter for "liking" something are the ones that can approve images - and not even they are given a free pass on particularly heinous images, unless they're admins.

And if being translated was a valid reason, then all sorts of crap could be uploaded, translated, and then kept here by that reason.

Neither are good reasons to preserve the pool.

Seriously, why do people who flag posts always get so much flak? Unless a person is flippantly flagging things for bunk reasons, flagging is a Good Thing - it lets posts get a second look, and helps catch stuff that gets through the cracks.

I mean, if we have a system to appeal posts (the deletion-appeal thread), what's wrong with flagging posts? They're both methods of getting posts under more eyes.

Seriously, why do people who flag posts always get so much flak?

Going off on a tangent, it's probably a connotation thing. Flagging carries a negative connotation - we want to excise something, for whatever the reason may be. On the other hand, appeals is akin to rescuing an image from erasure. But yeah... people tend to focus more on negative than positive.

F.I.A and Log already sent dmails to albert about it. (forum #57955, page 7+8)

We talked about this pool and pool #4507 in the thread mentioned above, so I decided to finally flag the images. Flagging a pool is such a hassle since I can't use something like the tag edit script.

I was against showing the name of the flagger because I knew things like this would happen.

I almost feel like giving S1eth neg.rep.

Because he has no sense of community spirit.

fuck off S1eth.

In before lynch mob.

Flagging images of Magus is also dangerous. When I flag one of his posts, he will browse through my uploads to find some posts he can flag to get his revenge. Maybe Renim still remembers the "Reason: uninteresting lineart" on post #804195.

Edit: BTW, can someone explain the user records of Not_One_Of_Us to me? A year ago, he was demoted from test janitor position, but he is currently a janitor and was invited by weazel, of whom I've never heard of.

Off-topic: don't mess with Imizu.

On-topic: the pool mentioned by OP was of poor quality.
Did it deserve to die? Maybe.
Would I care if it was never deleted, and just kept? No.

Then clearly you're not one to task with searching for low-quality images that slipped through the cracks. And that's fine.

But the kind of harassment frequent flaggers get is getting rather ridiculous. Hateful comments, and the like, as if flagging an image you like is a direct insult to your face or something. Harassment coming from people tasked with maintaining quality control is even worse.

If it's possible, maybe there should be some kind of restriction, like having the flaggers and appealers only visible to those that approve posts (test janitors and up).

Several years ago, privileged users had invites. He probably wasn't invited to Janitor status by that user (I think only albert does that?). If you were invited to a different status like Privileged first, it still shows the first person that invited you even after getting promoted again.
