Topic: Trying to wrap my head around auto-deletion

I imagine this topic is common, but I'm not sure what else to do.

A little over a month ago, I made my first posts here. Three of my own works, all of which have been automatically deleted. "...In approval queue for more than 30 days."

I mean, I get why... but I also don't. The purpose of approving submissions is what; keeping images that go against ToS off the site, or just removing "sub-par" art?

I completely understand that there are only so many people that are capable/willing to devote their unpaid time to the content-control of a furry porn site... I can appreciate that. Not everything gets through. But why have staff-approval? If a post meets/exceeds requirements, auto-deletion seems unfair. Let the community do the policing...

It would be just peachy if my posts would be...what's even word for this, "reinstated," "un-deleted"(?) but I am honestly less than hopeful.

What do I do now? Looking at my options here, I'd wager that option A)stop being a bitch and deal with it would win the popular vote. I'll even double down on that bet and say option B)re-upload the deleted posts is the absolute wrong choice. ...Help/guidance appreciated, thanks
