Topic: Sites OTDA: Other Than Deviantart

Posted under Art Talk

Disclaimer: My intention is not to offend anyone in this post.

I've been using Deviantart on and off since 2008, and the site, in my eyes, has gone downhill. I'm done with it.

Are there any reputable NSFW/SFW image boards that have a really good posting approval system (besides E621, I mean)? Because of its current scope the approval process here takes a day or two (as can be expected from most places with individual people approving posts every day), but I can't just delete my own images, I have to flag them first.
I'm going to refrain from using words like 'cancer' and such.
Every site has its notoriously bad visitors who post images that are of popularly unacceptable quality. Does anybody have any sites in mind that have a very, very small portion of those kinds of images? I've heard of sites like The Monster Multiverse that have a wicked strict approval policy but can't remember any to save my own fur.

Hell Below, the length of this post was cut by 10x just by removing the complaining I had intended to do.

If you're looking for quality control. You won't find it. Art is p subjective and really you're always gonna have someone who thinks their art is awful when it's amazing and vice verse.

FurAffinity, HentaiFoundry, Inkbunny, pixiv.

Thanks. I know FurAffinity has some good mods, I'm pretty sure pixiv is related to rule34.xxx and rule34.phael.net.

wrong. pixiv is an art gallery site, just like deviantart for example. its not a booru site like rule34.xxx or rule34.phael.net and they have nothing to do with each other. tho people upload lots of stuff from pixiv to boorus.

IIRC, VCLart has a similar approval process to e6. They're not as relevant as they used to be (hell, they might not even be relevant at all for all I know).

Inkbunny's mods and admins are pretty professional though their rules are pretty lax when it comes to quality standards. But they do have a nice tagging system very similar to that of e6, which makes blocking out stuff you don't want to see a lot easier than it would be on, say, Furaffinity.

Used to be I would have recommanded FA, but given their recent debacle with passwords and account security I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy. Yeah, they're still popular, but that doesn't make them better.

I hope this helps you out.

VCLArt and Inkbunny are your current recommendations?
Is e621 running a modded version of Gelbooru? The tag system and site layout is similar to both rule34 sites I mentioned. I'm trying to stay away from furaffinity.

I don't know how e6 is run, I'm just a standard member, not anything special.

If I had to choose between VCL and IB, I'd recommend IB, simply because I don't know enough about VCL to really make a good comparison. I know I tried signing up with VCL a few years ago and that's when I read the thing about posts being subject to moderator approval, but that's about all I know since my art wasn't nearly as good back then as it is now and I wasn't confident that anything I posted would remain there. As far as IB is concerned, I'm a member there, and the mods and admins are, like I said, quite professional and good at catching mistakes and so on. There is no "minimum quality standard" there that I can think of but like I said they do have the tagging system which allows you to blacklist tags much like you can here on e6.

I wish there was more I knew or could tell you, but unfortunately I don't.

I'll take a look for myself, thanks for the info.

If you own the art, you can suggest a Takedown instead.

Danbooru is pretty much the original, while all other boorus use modified version of danbooru's software (most, if not, all boorus should imply this somewhere) , like MediaWiki.
