Keep it civil, do not flame or bait other users. If you notice anything illegal or inappropriate being discussed, contact an administrator or moderator.
For the 5 there that were deleted, it was because they were off-topic. Everything on Gelbooru must be Japan-related in some way, which means it must either be drawn by a Japanese artist or be based on a Japanese copyright. Since these don't appear to have been based on any copyright, it's kind of a grey area where sometimes an exception will be given for high quality artwork. If it were me, I personally probably wouldn't have deleted them, but I'll let someone else weigh in.
I'm not seeing your sixth image anywhere. It doesn't appear to have been uploaded by you, and I have no way to search for it if it isn't in your uploaded images list. You will need to link that one for me to do anything about it. Please be aware that we will only delete images if they violate our ToS/photo guidelines or if the artist themself submits a removal request through our DMCA form. Third-parties, including the person who commissioned or uploaded a piece of artwork, cannot request removal. If you link the image and I determine it to violate the ToS in some way, I will remove it; otherwise you will need to contact the artist and have them submit a removal request.
First Edit Ever Was Deleted in the blink of an eye

gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=3517767 People were calling it a poor quality edit, but you've gotta know, I made that on my phone in Autodesk Sketchbook. I don't own a surface tablet, nor do I have any stylus, and it was my first time editing an anime pic to make it look hentai. I've seen plenty of poor quality edits here on the site, I don't see why mine had to be deleted.

Our bar for quality is a very fixed one. Images must meet our quality standard no matter who created them or how they were created. These standards aren't based on how much effort or talent went into making an image or edit, but rather what the image or edit actually looks like in the end. Using equipment that makes it more difficult to create a quality edit can only hurt you in this regard, and you'll find that most people's first attempt at editing an image would be removed from the site. The editing in this image was sloppy, and the file itself was saved with a very large amount of JPEG compression, which is in fact against the rules on its own.
I haven't seen any poor edits on the site that haven't been deleted; I delete them when I find them. In fact, that's why you may have seen poor edits on the site: I haven't seen them, and nor has the rest of the moderation team. We have fewer than 10 active moderators to curate thousands of uploads per day, and most of us have other obligations that eat up most of our time. It's really easy for stuff to slip past us. Yours just happened to be seen by a moderator, most likely while it was on the first page of recent uploads. If an image makes it past the first page of recent posts without a mod seeing it, there's a decent chance it won't be seen by any of us at all unless someone points it out to us.
Is there any source out there for high-res base images? I can nude-ify them on my phone, and do post processing in Krita on my laptop. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
