When you save an image as a JPEG, it compresses the image into a smaller size. If that were a raw image with no compression, the filesize would be 2.28MB instead of just 93.5KB (about an 80% reduction in size).

Unlike certain file formats like PNG which use lossless compression by taking bits of the same data that repeat (imagine that you have the values FA 91 9A CB 2D 3E 29 7B show up 200 times over the course of an image... you could store that value once, then refer to it as 01 every time after, reducing the amount of space required for each of them by almost 90%), JPEG uses lossy compression, where instead it breaks the image up into blocks and uses approximations to store each block so it looks similar to the original, but using less data. However, since this data is actually thrown out, it can leave some noticeable artifacts of the algorithm used to make the approximations. JPEG was intended for photography (that's what the P in the acronym stands for), and for actual photos, where there's rarely any truly sharp lines and lots of messy gradients from place to place in an image, those artifacts are often very, very difficult to see. However, for illustrations, which are generally contain many sharp lines, these artifacts can be very easily visible.

That's what we mean by "poorly compressed". It's possible to change how much compression is actually used when saving an image as a JPEG. If the compression level is set too high, the compression artifacts will become very noticeable. Our Terms of Service prohibit such images with very noticeable compression artifacts.

These two hataraki_ari animations just got deleted with the only reason as "poor", even though hataraki_ari is a widely known and accepted artist on this site and those two gifs were of equal standard of all his other work. Hell, even 4446017, which was part of the same set, is still intact, but without the bitching in the comments (probably the only reason it was even noticed anyway). What then, are you going to retroactively delete ALL of hataraki_ari's art and ban it from the site? That's the only way this decision wouldn't come off as pointlessly retarded.

restorable or no?

It predates the rule change, is based on a Japanese copyright and good quality so yes. [Restored.]

Edit: I also made sure a better version hasn't since been posted.

Xalrun deleted it alongside other ones I uploaded because he wrote "poor edit" thinking it was one of those decensored ones with 'deepcreampy'
But actually, I uploaded this drawing from Pixiv long before I discovered and started to use that program, also that drawing is already uncensored by the artist on its own to so yeah...lol

Hope to see this image restored so that he could at learn the mistake he did at least lol.

And there were also many drawings of an artist called e10gun or something like that, he gave all of them to me through Pixiv chat and were all uncensored by him for me.

Restored that first one. Thanks for including the source.

This decensor got removed even though it got 10 upvotes in less than a day I uploaded a a fair amount of worse edits and they got taken down I was fine with that but I feel like the only reason this one got taken down was cause of my other edits, there's worse desensors than this one still up and with the upvotes the sites agrees gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=4469737

The pussy is in a different perspective to the rest of her body and the genitalia is very pixellated when compared to the rest of the image.

The amount of upvotes a post acquires has nothing to do with whether it stays on the site or not. If you see other decensors of a similar or worse quality, please flag them for deletion.

I WANT MINE RESTORED: gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=4471152

No.
