sent a dmail to NotMeNotYou about 3 days ago due to what i believe was a false deletion (edit and re-render of a previously-deleted animation to meet minimum quality standards based off of other approved posts, moderator who deleted it claimed that it was the exact same animation. i'm assuming they didn't look closely enough. account also got set to neutral status), and there still hasn't been a response yet. i'm guessing this is usual going off of the amount of time posts seem to take to verify, but i'm curious about the amount of time other people have waited before getting a response from this staff member and/or others

9.5 times out of 10 it's either not important enough or they'll never respond back because the staff team thinks your response is stupid. For the 0.5 times it's typically within the hour if they're awake.
In my experience using the ticket system guarantees at least a response, eventually. You can report your own deleted post by clicking Report underneath the +Favorite button.

Best guess is that using a pre-made model (I have no confirmation of this) and retexturing it doesn't count as artistic merit to them. Approvals for 3d model_sheet that don't use original models can be very hit-or-miss.
Rememeber, E621 is not intended to be used as a personal gallery site but as a community-run art exhibition. There are plenty more sites to share your OC's reference on freely.

Sorry about that, it's been busy with the holidays and recent surge of traffic.

I've taken care of your record. Have a good one!

makes sense to me. didn't know about the ticket system before i messaged anyone about it. the model is also one that i made & rigged myself in Blender rather than a retexture/edit of another one, though i dunno if i'm supposed to send anyone the files due to that
i'll probably keep waiting for now rather than using the ticket system (unless i should do that anyways) due to the NotMeNotYou dmail since i already got a response from the previous one (thanks, Rainbow Dash!) and i don't wanna piss a lot of people off over one accident that another staff member made. likely to try using it in the future though if something like this happens again

Hi there, not to hijack this thread, but I'm in a similar boat as the OP of this thread. One of my posts was deleted a couple days ago, and I sent a message to you on December 8 about, and I haven't heard back yet. The message isn't about me trying to appeal a deletion (I understand why it was deleted), but it includes some questions I have about posting and adding sources so I can make sure my future posts don't get deleted either.

I know you said you're busy, but I just wanted to give you a heads up just in case my message was lost or overlooked. And apologies if there's some other admin I should be talking to, I simply saw your name in an automated message sent to my account so I decided to message you.

I recommend searching the forums for your question(s) first, and if you don't find it you can post the questions on the forum themselves. The forumites don't bite... ^_hard

Plus you can always ask on the discord too
