Well I've tried to contribute (just a few) images that I thought were better than this, but apparently they weren't. I guess because I'm not 'in' with the moderation staff, my junk gets thrown out. Awesome. Please delete this image and do not take any others from Giantess City. Thank you.

Just to clarify as several poser artists such as yourself have become upset with how Giantessbooru moderates Poser images.

First, there is no "in" here on the moderation team. The moderators here are random people from all over the community from all different walks of life who don't even know who the other moderators are. Everyone here simply follows a strict guideline on what content is allowed and what isn't. The fact that sometimes art passes, and some doesn't, and some gets revoked days later can be attributed to how different everyone here judges things.

So no, there's no drama, politics, or cliques here and there never will be. I will never stand for anything like that to happen. Giantessbooru is a simply a friendly site for sharing and commenting on the best giantess artwork and those who appreciate it, nothing more.

Now the reason why much of your art was likely deleted is because Giantessbooru has a very strict policy against Poser and computer generated images. (Although you'll find a collection here or there from Sizebooru's old database that we haven't managed to delete yet, along with one or two sets that we did actually approve) We regrettably can only accept the very top, most modern, state of the art, absolute current best works of the community.

This strict policy wasn't made out of choice- but rather out of necessity. The problem with poser artwork is that poser artwork can be easily produced en masse and by almost anyone- not saying poser doesn't take talent to produce good works! But rather the artwork has a very low entrance / beginners barrier and creating multiple pages is only a few clicks once a scene is set, unlike drawings or collages. This naturally leads to the giantess community producing --ungodly-- amounts of poser works that completely flood out the rest of the community.

The moderator team goes through at least a 500-1000 pictures a day, and more than --three fourths-- of these images are poser sets that have to be deleted outright. If we were to accept anything less than the top 1%, Giantessbooru would be completely flooded with poser artwork and the moderators would spend all day tagging massive poser sets or determining which ones should get approved and which ones shouldn't (leading to tons of confusion and missing images in sets).

To the viewer, instead of seeing pages filled with unique artwork, it would be page after page and set after broken set of 3D artwork. Poser would completely, absolutely flood out the entire system and make browsing for artwork almost impossible.

Hence why Giantessbooru has the strict no-poser-unless-it-is-better-than-anything-currently-produced policy- (which changes every time someone increases the barrier) even when dealing with artists who are well known or previously produced state of the art poser works. (If I made exceptions for certain artists then I would get emails of why this artist is allowed but this artist wasn't) So to keep the dam from breaching, we have to take a hard line.

This is absolutely nothing personal towards you or your works. This is just a strict policy that has to be enforced whether we like it or not to keep Giantessbooru alive and well. We are just as frustrated by the poser problem as you are, as it causes many good and decent works to slip through the cracks.

Your artwork has been added to the Do-Not-Post list upon your request. However if I delete this image, this conversation will go poof. :)

I was going write a long and polite reply, but fuck it. It's not worth bothering.

Stuff that is easily produced by masses looks horrible. Whether it's drawings, collages, or 3D. Just because a lot of people produce shitty 3D you condemn the entire media? ...don't answer that.

Really what it comes down to for both poser and collages is if the work looks dated, as in not up with today's abilities, it's likely not going make the cut. It's the same process for everyone regardless of their status here. I think really what we look for in concerning 3D images, is if the image has been produced as an art piece by itself. That means it's not part of a massive set where the artist barely clicked and dragged the image to make it "different" from the last image. Drawing sets are not even done this way, they're advanced scenes to quickly progress the story, a million images with barely minor changes does not make an interesting story, and we won't add a billion frame story to the site.
Out of those sets however we will find exceptional images and be more than happy to add these into the collective as individual art pieces because the scene looks good all on it's own.
As it is with 3D guidelines, free or cheap programs probably would take quite the exceptionally gifted artist to produce images in the clarity we like to see.

We don't pick on 3D artists, they are just unfortunately the larger part of the pie in the screening process, however collages are nearly as tightly screened as 3D works for what we are looking for. A lot of images from the old archive had made it through screening in the mad rush to get the site online, and I think that creates a lot of confusion as to what we are looking for in this site being something like a giantess image museum rather than a place to dump any and all giantess'ish related images.
Slowly we are moving through the image database and refining the images from the old archive that doesn't quite meet the standards we are seeking, hopefully you will be able to tell the difference in overall quality within the database as time progresses.

Ok, that actually makes sense to me.

I can agree that every picture should stand for itself as its own piece, even if it's a part of a set.
