Topic: long term pending approval?

I start be annoyed by noticing that the approver is usually the same from months, and pictures that get lot of ups and fave, still wait to be aproved. It smells like that is approved only the thing that that one approver likes. And that is not fair.
It can be that a good and perfectedly fine picture maybe with many likes, can be deleted just because no one of the approvers look at it.

What needs to be understood, is that the main purpose of e6ai is to be a buffer for e621 so that AI slop doesn't get there (or at least limit the ammount of it).
That's why nobody cares about developing it, it only really has to stay online to serve that function.

As for the same approver - yeah Lance is carrying the brunt of approving all the slop that doesn't cross any rules (though it's still beyond me why all the identical low effort slop of ulfur is getting approved - guess approving in thumbnail mode doesn't show the lack of effort of the slop) . Shadowstones and Draco18s usually approve whatever was left behind. Approval waves happen every 2-3 days, which might be on purpose because, what's the point of constantly shoveling in all the slop if nobody would even lok at it? Just let is stay in pending state for a few days to let it marinate in the upvotes/favs so that people actually see the images.

What's also important, is that e6ai is stricter in regards to young and realistic feral content (compared to e621). It's more likely that your posts in those topics will not get approved (from what i see, you have several Ralsei pics unaproved - isn't he like 13 canonically?). From what i heard, the reason for this, is that law regarding AI can change anytime, and e6ai (as a AI site) doesn't want to deal with lawsuits regarding collection of 'illegal' material that can be used to train 'illegal AI models'. If you ever want to upload questionably underage characters then make them look less "childlike" i guess.

On the other hand, if you're sure that your uploads are not in "problematic" territory - just sent Draco18s (Acro,Dr.) a PM on Discord, and he will approve selected posts for you quite quickly (late EU/early US hours).

As for trying to replace your posts when you spot mistakes - Just make sure to thoroughly check the image for any significant errors. Even i can miss some error in my uploads sometimes, but it's honestly just skill issue.
