Topic: A upload of mine has not been approved after 30 days and got auto deleted. What to do?

Posted under General

I recently uploaded a 3D Animation I worked super hard on, for multiple weeks. The community loved it. However, it has not been approved by any moderator after 30 days, so it got auto deleted. I am guessing it got missed, since that is what people said before.
It has not been deleted for any rule breaking. And since the community loved it, and I worked so hard on it, is there a way to "resubmit" it to get approved? Reuploading does not work since e621 detects it as a duplicate.

Thanks

Based on my short time here, the number of likes/ hours it took to complete an artwork does NOT determine whether a posts stays or get deleted.
I've seen posts with hundreds of negative votes get approved on this site so the votes doesn't seem to matter at all.

From what I hear, auto-deleted posts are rarely deleted because of being missed/overlooked. They're usually auto-deleted because multiple staff members
cannot agree on whether it should stay or not since the post most likely falls into this gray area of "not great but also not bad" type of thing.

I know it's heartbreaking to hear when something you've worked hard on doesn't get approved but e6 runs on high standards compared to other furry art sites.
It's why I haven't uploaded my own artworks yet.

But as mentioned before, just ask a mod/ admin about the post and they'll determine whether your post is approved or not.

Message one of the mods or admin to ask why it was not approved, and request it be undeleted

How do I find mods/admins to message? Is there a list?

On the deleted post it contains a link for the moderator that deleted it. In this case since it was an auto deletion, it was the auto moderator, which says to contact NotMeNotYou. On their user page is a link to "Send message" where you can (politely) ask if it should've been deleted, and what was wrong with it that it didn't get approved.
