PoV pictures are welcome. I agree it's not so nice they're flooding our page, but it's what was in the queue. We'll space out a batch of similar pov pictures from here on out, but may need to make an exception if we're not getting many other uploads.
Thanks for your opinion. To address the quality issue, and while we're on the subject of content...
A serious lack of uploads from our community has been brought to my attention by GB Admin, MarkM. He reaches out to artists to get permission sharing their work with credit and source. This brings you the high quality collages from our community's artists and it directs new fans their way. It is a lot of work and he has a full time job, family, errands, and the busy life we can relate to. But, he enjoys it, which is what matters. As do our mods.
Now, catch this. In one mere day, if each member uploaded --one-- image, it would provide us with a pool of --thousands-- of images that our moderators would be tagging and approving for -months to come-! Just imagine... thousands of new pron images for you to see... mmhh. It'd be so much that we would be looking for a dozen or more mods to help us out!
Everyone has the power to contribute to the content we support.
We regularly approve the highest quality images first. Thus, low-medium quality images are prone to stay in the moderation queue for days or weeks before getting approved. Imagine if you uploaded an image for GB that you didn't see on the site that day, that week, or that...month. Wouldn't you be wondering why and let it discourage you from contributing again? And yea, sadly it still happens. Now that the queue has been cleared (which is great), we are trying our best to address the complaints that resulted without making a dramatic shift in the way the site is run or scaring off people from contributing or mods from helping approve images.
Years and years and years ago, before we accepted low-quality artworks, many new artists in the community felt that this website was judgmental and unwelcoming. There was a strict moderation guide to follow that listed every detail under the sun (over-emphasizing), and 60+ moderators, most of which became inactive. We had complaints from both artists and mods with this method and moderators who'd get offended from being moderated. I was uncomfortable with how the site was being run.
This is when my ex and I were GB partners. When we separated, I threw that out the window and welcomed new artists to the site with open arms and later the quality filters were created for our mods best judgement. This is tricky because we all have our own opinions / bias that need to be kept in check. That's not to say that there aren't images we can't accept. For two of the most extreme examples... drawings that look like they were made by a K grade student, obviously, or collages that were masked by someone with 20/200 vision or belligerently drunk.
Lol, making artwork while angry and drunk!
Anyway, what I define as low-quality is a small .jpg (still) image around 400xX, collages with some visible cut-out lines (I see some get approved as med-high quality that I'd have set to low-quality as personal opinion), pixelation, too much out of focus, etc.
In regards to this topic starting on the opportunity of a .gif that I approved, I did in fact overlook the quality filter. I bumped it down to medium-quality. The average size of animated .gifs are small and this image has detail. Both of which, coming from an industry producer, should be an exception to our quality tier as long as these two factors apply. As you might already know, GiantessKatelyn.com is my main website - I've heard time and time again that my fans cum to my video's .gif advertisements. They are only 400-600xX which makes it obvious people enjoy them.
Yes, I have my own opinions, and I fully respect and welcome your opinions and our moderators opinions, comfortably, and personal liking. Everyone is more than welcome to make a suggestion on an image's quality filter and tags. It seems we need more image quality-filter suggestions from members, so we can learn from the popularity. When a member becomes a regular at helping with good tag/filter suggestions, it grabs our admin and mods attention in possibly welcoming the member to join our moderation team.
*What do you define as low quality? Type it out. Get noticed. Link to an example on GB. Start a constructive debate.* The more response we get here, the better.
