If it looks like a Second Life model, then that might be why they contested the former. As for the latter, I wouldn't know myself why they contested that the quality was low.

this ambiguous "quality standards" thing seems to cause a lot people trouble around here. seems like every few days theres another thread with that being brought up when complaining of deleted content. :/

I know right? I'm constantly on the verge of starting a thread to try to solve this thing but I wouldn't really know what would do. Perhaps one big thread where all the individual cases can be put in?

I think sticky-ing it in the forum could be a good thing... or perhaps including a new topic type when creating forum posts that just automatically posts it to a super-hyper-mutant-complaint-thread.

That depends. Are we talking about archiving, or using it to make people post their problems with quality standards there instead of strewed around the forum.

@ OP:
Only mods (and janitors?) can view images/videos from deleted posts AFAIK. People really can't comment on your content unless you give an offsite link.

Huge threads are IME uniformly bad.. pretty much in the same way as spaghetti code (no overview, nobody wants to look through it to find one thing..)

Like, do anything but that.

I guess an sticky, locked, non-exhaustive index of clearly resolved 'deleted post' complaint threads might be helpful.

Overall I question whether the complainants are even seriously trying to interpret Uploading Guidelines, though. eg this recent thread

Quality standards are just another crapshoot like irrelevant. It's all up to which staff member gets to it first.

Sometimes you get stuff like https://e621.net/post/show/1013445 that gets happily accepted yet looks terrible when compared to something like https://e621.net/post/show/1008256

I don't know what more to say. It's all up to RNG pretty much, heck the system they have in place for irrelevancy and judging quality content on this site is worse than YouTube's Content ID system, imo. It's more random yet all the big-names still get far more leniency than anyone else here.

By "big-names" I mean prolific artists, of course.

then this might be a good time to clear things up on how things are wouldent ya say so first question is it method that plays a part in it and or effort

It might be worth it to have semi-regular reviews of approvals and deletions on quality grounds between janitors, mods and admins. This will allow for debate amongst the higher ups over whether a certain post had the correct judgement of quality applied to it and would hopefully lead to a more concrete definition of the quality standard.

might but as I say better to pitch ideas then to leave things as is but I would also say well people have the patience for it

It is not a crapshoot, nor RNG, if you decided to communicate with the staff (which is what this forum is for) and the person who deleted it. Also, literally everything you've said was an opinion that degrades this topic. Irrelevant images are set in stone for why they are deleted, before posting them. Minimum quality deletions can be found out afterwards.

OP, to be frank: go take the posts to the staff member who deleted them and ask specifically why they were deleted. Don't bother comparing old arts to yours, just find out how you can fix it. And, unlike the replied user's statement with irrelevant to site, there will be a reason for you to find, and it is possible to fix it (the hardest I've experienced for editing images is rescaling them. It utterly destroys the artwork... so you may wish to remake it if it is about size).

You can also ask for help from users on site and/or in the chat room we have. To list a quick one who can (but I can't assure) help with animations, Mario69 .
